I made this beer a while ago and a friend dumped 4 gallons of it on the floor..... I fermented the last gallon and it turned out really good. I want to try it again (without the help of that friend lol) and was kind of curious if i should make any changes. It is a caramel wit partial mash 4.4#...

O ya and i also have coriander and orange peel for potentially making a white wheat

So i happen to have 8.8 pounds of canadian superior pale malt, 4.4 pounds of flaked toasted wheat, 2.2 pounds of munich malt, and 2.2 pounds of bohemian pilsner malt. I also have 2oz of willamette, 2oz nugget, 2oz magnum, 2oz hallertau. Im going to do 2 2 gallon batches as i only have a 5 gallon...

Has anyone ever tried maple sugar? I found it online and its made from 100% pure maple syrup so im assuming it would be no different then using syrup

Well its already down to the fg i want. 1.030 to try keep it sweet but it tastes weird. All iced tea flavor is gone and theres no flavor from the malt extract just a strange lemon flavor. I added 2 cups of real tea i steeped with 4 tea bags each and its better but now im going to pretty much...

Ya i will post the results. It seemed too easy to turn out good but fingers crossed i guess lol

O ya and when i tested it i tasted it and it tasted great! But only time will tell if it still tastes great when its done

Thanks i checked it out and figured i would try a extremely simple way and only do a 1 gallon batch. I used 1 pound light dme and 4 cans of nestea lemon iced tea frozen concentrate in roughly 2L of water which filled my fermentor perfectly and came out at 1.075 og. I used a teaspoon of...

Has anyone ever tried to make their own version of twisted tea? I want to try making some and im not sure what to use

I forgot you posted this. I guess she was out to lunch then.

I forgot you posted this. So i guess that lady at the store is out to lunch then good. I should still go buy a scale i had to make an educated guess on how much grain to use brewing last night lol

No unfortunately i dont have any brewing books. And any info i find is always in oz weight so i guess i should just go buy a cheap kitchen scale. And im sure my red ale that i added 3/4 of a cup to will be fine

Ok so i was talking to a lady at a lhbs and she told me i should have used 2 cups dextrose for priming and that i should dump it all back in the bucket add the rest of the sugar and rebottle. That seems like alot was she out to lunch? Im more curious for my next fewbatches im not going to touch...

Ok awesome i added 3/4 of a cup to 1 cup of boiling water and added it slowly to the beer as i was racking it to the bottling bucket. Then gently stirred so im sure it will turn out fine

Im going to bottle my red ale soon and all it says in the instructions is to add 1/2 a teaspoon to each bottle. I used an app that calculated just under 5 oz. now would that be 5oz in a measuring cup or 5oz weight? Because i don't have a scale. If that is weight roughly how much should i add...

Im just curious if its a good idea as the 2 batches i rehydrated the yeast seemed to have a much more active fermentation. Im not sure if i need to or not but i just want it to have the best possible chance of fully fermenting as the yeast with the extract kits was past the best before date

I am just curious about boiling some bakers yeast and adding it (once cooled) to my beer that has been fermenting for a week. I have 2-5 gallon batches and 2-2 gallon batches brewing and with 1-2 gallon and 1-5 gallon i rehydrated the yeast and that seemed to work way better so should i add the...

Well i decided to take a very quick smell of the fermenting beer and it smells really good you can really smell the spices so now im not too sure. I did add almost twice as much to the hop sack so maybe ill just wait and smell it when i go to bottle to decide i dont want to over do it

Its a extract beer so i only boiled the spices for 5 mins then removed from heat and then added the extract. I was wondering if adding the spice before bottling was a good idea or not so i think i will give it a shot. Thanks

Im currently about 3 days into fermentation of a pumpkin spice ale from mr beer and it is their own recipe. It calls for mulling spice to be added in a hop sack just as the water starts to boil before you add the hme. I let it boil for a couple minutes and left it in until i poured it into the...
