I recently did a batch of mountain brew at the request of my roomate (i.e. he bought all the ingredients). Granted i adjusted the online recipe slightly, i added 1/2lb crystal 10 and i substituted centennial for bittering and cascade for aroma to suit my NW pale ale tastes :) . Very drinkable...

I have tasted this recipe (extract & grains) as well as talking to others who have tried it: 6.6 lbs Muntons light malt extract syrup 0.5 lbs Muntons light dry malt extract 1.0 lb Munich malt 0.5 lbs crystal 80 0.5 lbs carapils (dextrin) malt 9.3 AAU Centennial hops (1 oz @ 9.3%...

I was under the impression that If I don't boil it, just steep for a while, this will not extract a lot of bitterness. I was planning on using cascades...

Sounds great, thanks guys!

A brewing buddy of mine recently made a pale ale that tastes very under hopped (coming from the primary). I told him he may be able to add hop tea to the secondary. I was thinking maybe an ounce or two of cascades? How long should these be boiled and in how much water in order to impart a...

Both batches have been primed with 1.25 cups of DME, bottled, and stored at room temp (68F). One has been in bottles about 3.5 weeks, and the other about 2.5 weeks. Should I uncap them and add carbonation caps, corn sugar, or just let them sit longer? I'm kind of at a loss as to why two...

Disclaimer: I don't usually put lemon(or any other fruit) in my beer. But...if it isn't very good, the lemon may be it's saving grace. Would just rather not throw it out, thats all!

Thanks for the information guys. I just hope the hefe comes around with a little age. Or maybe I'll just have to put a giant slice of lemon in it.

Grolsch is $1.69 at the Fred Meyer (full of course), and the bottles are $1.50 empty at the LHBS, so I figure the beer must be worth at least 19 cents. Don't like the green glass too much though.

Orrelse, would the temp inside the fermentor be 75 F even if the Fermometer on the side said 70 F? Just curious. Thanks Brandon

I just bottled a Hefe brewed with White Labs hefeweizen yeast. I sure hope it mellows out a lot. It has an unbelievably strong banana sweetness too it. Is there anything I can do differently to change the flavor profile while using this yeast? The beer was fermented at 70 F. Thanks...

Hey larrow, do you know how the recipe needs to be modified? grains? Extract? Thanks for the info. Brandon

How well does it work? I'd like my beer to come out just a little bit clearer. I think Irish moss in the boil did help a little, but I just want to take it one step further. Brandon

Anyone.....Bueller? Well, guess I'll have to reserve it as a treat when I go out to the bars. I know somebody here in the great NW has got to have a recipe for this delicious beer though. Brandon

The grains that came with my extract kit were not crushed. Can i put them in the food processor briefly, or do I have to find a LHB shop to get them milled? Brandon

Can anybody help me out with a clone for Mac and Jac's African Amber using extract and grains? I can't seem to find one anywhere on the net. Thanks! Brandon

Does anyone know the dimensions of a 3 gallon corny? Trying to figure out if it'll fit in the beer fridge. Thanks Brandon

I'm a noob who has brewed about 5 batches now (extract and specialty grains) and I'd love to get into kegging. However, I live in a smallish apartment and have limited space and funds (2nd year of doctorate program). I've been looking into party pigs and also the 5l party kegs. Or should I...
