Hi Fellow Homebrewers, In my pursuit in trying to brew an authentic "oldschool" German/Munich Helles, I have come across a few questions during my beer style research that I wanted to bounce off of the homebrew community for the experts and experienced among us. If I have read correctly...

Hello fellow brewers of the HBT community, I have been an avid reader here these past years and have learned a lot from reading through the forums however I now have stumbled across something that I could not find thus prompting a new thread. Everyone knows that a California Common needs...

Hi, I am looking to do an IPL recipe but with the focus on having a nice caramel malt background and a orangey-citrus hop character. To get the nice caramel malt background I've considered the following malt bill: 85% Pilsner Malt 7.5% CaraHell (~10L Crystal) 7.5% CaraDark (~50L...

My college roommate and I want to embark on a glorious beer journey to Denver, CO to live the greatest beer festival in the US! THE GABF!!! :tank: Unfortunately we did know if we could make it work until a few days ago. Does anyone have 2 spare tickets they would be willing to sell? We are...

I'm in the exact same carboy man. Just brewed my first 2 beers with extract and specialty grains. I want to build my own wort chiller soon, and eventually start to build my kit to an All-Grain setup. I am fortunate enough to have the LHBS give a free demo this weekend on how to All-Grain brew...

I agree as well. Most to all of the information from ideas, tips, and recipe lists i have found on this forum! Great stuff! I brewed my first two, 1 brew at 17 days, the other at 10 days. Looking forward to both!

Go Blazers! Blazers win against the Rockets tonight at home in Portland! I also can enjoy a good pint of beer and some b-ball! Prost, Chris
