Does anyone have a great 5 gallon AG Barleywine recipe that they have brewed and love? I want to get one started as I know they need time to age. Also I read that with the new understanding of yeast and the ability to make yeast starters, aging requirements are shorter if the right amount of...

I suppose that I'll just keep it cool from here on out, and hope for the best. Lesson learned.... I do hold out hope that any weird flavors will be overpowered by that hoppy goodness, as well as all the citra making this a fruit-forward hoppy beer anyways. Oh well, live and learn. :p I'll...

So I brewed my 3rd AG on Tuesday, a 5 gallon batch of APA with all citra hops, basically a 3Floyds Zombie Dust Clone ( I can't get it, so I figured I'd brew it!) OG was at 1.067, batch size almost a full 6 gallons. After brewing I pitched my 1.5L yeast starter, using WLP 002 English Ale Yeast...

My first all-grain brew, pretty simple Saison recipe that measured at 1.062 OG instead of the estimated 1.056. I pitched only one vial of White Labs Saison 'WLP 565' and today is day 8 in primary and there is very little CO2 blowoff from 3 pc bubble cap. I had a larger blowoff tube into a...
