ekjohns: I am going to be brewing Blue Moon AG this weekend using several variations suggested in this thread namely Weyermann Vienna in the place of 2 Row pale but I am also going to use organic Orange Extract in place of the Valencia peel to get more Orange flavor. Have you decided whether...

I would look at your mashing temps and procedures. Can you provide more details about the steps you used starting with the grain. Was the grain fresh? Was it ground? How did you mash? In a cooler or just steeping? Did you sparge and bring the mash temp up to 168F at the end of your...

Brewed a Spotted Cow Cream Ale with Kolsch yeast today and am now having my first tasting of my Hoegaarden clone attempt, my first AG batch using Wyeast Forbidden Fruit yeast and I am very pleased with what will be the Thanksgiving Day brew at the family gathering.

I brewed this today, only my second AG batch and hit about 74% efficiency so I was pleased. Unfortunately when I read my preboil OG it read 1.034. BeerTools suggested I was going to be at 1.044 so I dumped in the rest of the DME I had for my starter.... about 0.65#. What I forgot was to adjust...

Well the Blue Moon like batch I made as a PM with Wheat LME turned out great. Color was a darker as expected but it was enjoyed with several friends at a fall picnic in October. I ended up fermenting in my primary for over 4 weeks at 67-69F and then in the keg for 2 weeks before serving...

I brewed the PM version yesterday and Ill update the recipe and volumes I used: My Partial Mash method starts with a PreBoil of approx 2.5 Gal of water, cooled to 70ish and into the sanitized 6 Gal glass carboy (about 2 Gal) so I needed 3.25 gal post boil to get 5 total gal in to the carboy...

ekjohns I read your post about Oberon and I have to say I had a Bells Oberon on tap in Madison last week and was very impressed. I have been doing a few Hefes lately, the last a classic Weihenstephan with a decoction mash. I could not place the flavors in the Oberon though after...

Wow, The last 5 posts here were from SE Wisconsin, so I shall make it number six in a row. I am from SE Wisconsin as well where it seems we have many homebrewers. Special greetings go out to all my Wisconsin brew brothers and especially to the Beer Barons, a really nice bunch of homebrew...

Hi Wayne: Thanks for sharing all the great stuff here. I really appreciate the help you give to everyone. I have brewed a few PM "Blue Moon" batches before I saw your thread and probably came close to the Blue Moon - Honeymoon. I had used Belgium Abbey yeast in these batches along with...
