I'm glad you mentioned about the 6300 because I'm currently drinking a single hop pale I made with it and thought the same thing. I thought something was wrong with the batch but I get a weird nutty sweet thing going on. I agree not my favorite

Hello All, So my friend is getting married in Sept 2014 and I have decided I want to brew a beer or two for that event. I just started investigating Australian Sparkling ales and also Brut or Champagne style beers. Any advice, direction or recipes for either would be great. I just...

All great points and the more I think about it makes a lot of sense. Maybe keeping it in the regular farmhouse IPA area is the best route. Especially since those 2 hops are pretty sweet by themselves plus with some nice farmhouse yeast should be great. Also yes I'm definitely at the stage where...

Sweet that is a good idea. I will have to look into that yeast. De Wildeman is a great beer so if I'm in the ball park that would be nice

Hello all! Looking for a bit of advice. This will be my first time using brett and wanted to see if this whole idea sounds workable. So the beer we are brewing is a Farmhouse IPA of sorts. We will be using Wyeast 3711 in the primary and hopping generously using mosaic and galaxy. A...

So I just brewed my Imperial White IPA this weekend and everything went well but the OG ended up being 1.100 which was a littler higher than I expected. I did a yeast starter in a 1000 ml flask but I only did 2 cups of water and 1/2 cup of DME. I then pitched 1 packet of Wyeast 3463 in and gave...

Great to hear. I'm hoping for the same result

Well I'm hoping to create a big beer but big in taste and aroma and pushing both ends of the white beer and the ipa. I hope it works. It sounds good but its all theory currently.

I was thinking so too but I decided to just go for it and see how it works out.

Hey all I'm brand new here and I'm also a new home brewer. This recipe I just wrote up will be the second batch I have done without a kit and wanted to see if this made sense to all of you. Thanks! 2 lbs Belgian Pale 1 lbs Wheat Flake 6 lbs Muntons DME 1 lbs Wheat Dme 2 oz Nugget (60 min) 2 oz...
