Germey: Sorry for such a delayed response. The beer came out quite well. I opened this thread back up as i am brewing this again today, which says something in and of itself about your recipe. I am sorry, I didn't realize I hadn't posted a final evaluation of the beer until now. This was...

Cool. I have a large bag, a large pot, and the book. Thanks for your help and your quick reply.

Hi, I don't have a mash-tun handy today, and I want to figure out how to all-grain without one. What is this style of brewing called? I am hoping to find a thread that will break it down real simple for me so I don't get the watery garbage that resulted from my first All-Grain attempt...

Yeah I even had a kid offer to buy my brews as long as I provided it for the same price as Natty...

IMG, I definitely agree that ***** hops are the necessary substitution for perfection of this brew. Also, I used to live in Burlington, and nobody out there understood when I was being sarcastic either. I think its something in the air... It smelled good but it made everyone sleepy. On a...

Yeah that's kind of silly to post that you have a secret. Don't you want my friends to enjoy drinking your delicious recipe?

I only bottled this five days ago, but I am a weak man and incidentally this beer tastes quite good. I will try to save the rest as long as I can, but I like to sample beers progressively throughout the aging process to better understand it...

Awesome. I bottled this Saturday, with the final totals amounting to 20 days in the primary and a week in the secondary. I am going to wait as long as possible before drinking, but if I know myself, and I do, I will sample it at least a few times before the 2 month suggested period has passed...

Yooper, the simplest answer is usually correct and your answer to my question about fermentability, wine is a good example of both. I feel dumb for asking that really. I think I will have to experiment a little bit to figure out what kind of a contribution I can expect from the raspberries...

Okay, while waiting for a reply, which didn't take long, I read what Papazian had to say, which is NEVER to boil fruit. For the time being I have reached a resolution of this particular recipe, but now I have to ask another question. Does fruit add anything other than flavor. Are the sugars...

I am making a light raspberry brew for a friend. Should I add the raspberries on the tale end of the boil or put them to the secondary? Simple question but the answer will make or break my delicious brew. Thanks

I am almost at two weeks now and i am planning on racking to the secondary for a week tomorrow if I have time. It looks nice and red

Where did you get this recipe? Have you tried it yet?

I do think this will be good in a while. I think vodka and the secondary are the key. Maybe 4 ounces. I drank a DFH india brown ale tonight that was delicious. Does anyone know how they accomplished that amazing coffee flavor?

Interesting. Papazian said to boil as well so I did the last 10 minutes. The process needs some work though. I would try using some in the secondary but wouldn't I need to boil to sanitize? The coffee would probably taste fresh that way, and contribute to the aroma so if its safe I would...
