At the BJCP class Brian and Bruce are running this last Friday, we sampled non carbonated "beers" made with one of several base malts made in the same way you have been testing: German Pilsner, 2 Row, Marris Otter and German Light Munich. We then tried 6 samples using one specialty malt...

I am on batch #4 of your recipe... the first 3 with Rahr Pale Ale Malt as my base grain. The Irish Red that is coming out of my fermenter now is my first with Maris Otter. All to date have been using Wyeast 1272 American Ale II . I think I will try the Mexican Lager yeast next time. What...

Well I've gone and done it and switched to Weyermann Bohemian Pilsner Malt for my Dunkel in place of the Best. We will see come Midwinter if this is a good choice. I'm blaming you Paula if I don't place! Bob

Count me in.

The three times I brewed this I achieved 69-73%. Hope your experiment goes well. I like to brew 10 gal in one boil and split the batch into two 5-gal carboys and use a different yeast in each. This was one of the reasons I did purchase a 15 Gal brew kettle initially. The issue I have been...

Nice job on making your keezers... I made my keezer slightly differently based on some other variations I saw on this site somewhere. I went with a 48" wide Whirlpool Chest Freezer that I luckily found on CL for $125. It was basically in brand new shape. This size allows you to load 8 Ball...
