Keep in mind it's the same thing as biscuit malt. Most people use a half pound in recipes of about 10 lbs or 5 gallons batches. If your doing a nut brown or you want more biscuit flavors you can go up to a full pound

Ya I saw that, Midwest's supplies is selling a extract pre made apple ale kit that has been getting good reviews. I'm designed a quick recipe using an all grain that looks like this: 7 lb - 2-row pale malt 1 lb - honey malt .5 lb - cara-pils 1 oz hallertaur (60 mins) 1 lb brown sugar (60...

Sorry after a quick search it's an ale, but I have seen lagers as well

I recently went to the states and had reddz apple lager. Does anyone know how this is being done? Using real apples and which step are they being added? I really preferred the apple lager to a cider because it tasted more like a carbonated glass of apple juice rather than that champagne like...

I did the same thing my first all grain. I tried to add the dme and it turned out bad, dumped most of it. Your better off to just leave it, won't be as high % but it'll be drinkable. Also when checking your gravity make sure your temperature isn't top hot or cold because that flux ates reading

So I finally brewed this and my recipe changed based on the hops I had, plus I upped the honey malt. Brew day went well, color looks good. I will post pictures and tasting notes once the beer is Kegged and in glass. I expect the ale to be thicker and more flavor than a sleeman's due to it not...

Sorry I havnt had a chance to make it. It got super cold here and my basement went under a bunch of huge renovations. I'm looking to make it soon. If you take a shot at it please report back

I love Sleemans Honey Brown and designed this recipe to try to make something similar. I want a good honey flavor with some biscuit taste and a darker orange tint. I'm going to brew this in the next couple weeks, I wanna know what you guys think who have brewed something similar. Normally I...

Thanks for the info, I'm gonna make the decision at keg time after another tasting sample

I added two packs of S-05 (realistically I harvested the yeast from an old batch and made a starter for approx. 2 packs), I added brown sugar to the boil as well as some real canned pumpkin. spices were added as well and I use a hydrometer.

my first couple times round I was frustrated with my OGs as well, but after time you learn how to take proper readings. Make sure you take a sample when the wort has cooled and is about 60F, and take a wine thief and put into a cylinder and measure with a meter, make sure to stir the wort...

Just make sure you factor in grain absorption and mash tun dead space. Being where you are a year ago, I really suggest using rice hulls and doing a batch sparge. You'll feel very overwhelmed with fly sparging and if your temps arent perfect and your mash tun is clogged, you'll will be cursing...

as said above, either remove the chocolate malt (unless you want chocolate flavors) then I would add some chocolate nibs to secondary

You can buy converter kits online from brewing stores. Mine consists of a false bottom that hook into a ball valve. The ball valve fits in the plastic spout hole of the mash tun. There is orings on both side of the ball valve

Ya I read into blending from BYO but i wanted to know what you guys thought. I was planning on adding a .5-1 gallon, hopefully dropping it to about 6%. I was just gonna add water till I fill my corny which should leave me in the 5.5-6.5% range which is where I wanna be. I would boil the water...

I brewed the Punkin ale clone in the recipe database and I ended up with a smaller batch than intended. Now I'm still trying to dial in my efficiency, but I ended up with about 1.061 OG, which was fine, but still on the higher side. But my S-05 took the FG was like 1.002 (beersmith said 1.010)...

So the beer was cold crashed and kegged. Beer turned out very nice. It's very nice and light and has that bit of creamy mouthful. The banana overpowered the strawberry so changes for next time v2.0: 1. Use 4 lbs of banana and 4 lbs of strawberry. 2. When switching from primary to secondary I'm...

I am still quite new to all grain brewing (did about 6 batches now, 1 being blue moon clone and other the watermelon wheat) and I have been typically using other brewer's recipes, but being summer I designed this beer: 7.5lbs Pale Malt 2 Row .5lbs Cara-Pils/Dextrine .5lbs Caramel/Crystal Malt...
