So I am assuming when you say toasting them brings out the oils. There is actual oil on the pan you toast them on? Is this correct? If so do you add the oils and the cocoa nibs to the secondary or just the nibs.?

Is the whole bean process just like it sounds? Put 2oz of whole bean coffee into the beer? Simple as that? Is it more effective in the primary, secondary, mash or in the boil?

Appreciate the advice on which recipe. Yeah I already did some research on the peanut butter and was going to go the powdered pb2 rroute but basically read I still needed to use a lot of it. Never came across the captain crunch idea but kinda like the idea and if u say it works I think I'll...

Appreciate the people that gave some answers to my questions.. Would still like to hear some more answers as to get a better idea of what to do. Thanks

So I'm looking to make a base double brown ale which I will then add chocolate and peanut butter to make a Reece cup inspired beer. I've done some research on Browns and it looks like u can go the more traditional English route or the American brown ale route. Well I'm kind of thinking...

I really like how this recipe sounds. I sent you a message with some questions about it. Hopefully I can brew this soon

What is your process here? take oak spirals and soak them in bourbon for 6 weeks? and then Add Everything to a beer? or just the Oak Spirals? or just the liquid? What flavors do you get? Oak? Bourbon(whiskey or whatever you use)? or both?

Thats not bad. I usually buy mine at Walmart for 3.49-3.89$ for 1 lb. I buy the Red Mill Unsweetned Shredded coconut for a coconut porter I do. I have brewed it 3 times and I am happy with the Red mill. I have seen it at Whole Foods or Earth Fare for 1.99$ a pound during random times of the...

Ok. I am a few weeks away from doing 2 different chocolate beers. I have done a lot of research on the web and like most things there is no "right way" to do it. But I feel like with most topics on brewing I can find a 60-40 concensus and I usually go with the method used 60% of the time and I...

That's a typo.. Should of been 68

Thanks for the help. I will throw some SR in and see how it does. Thanks so much!

Thanks for the advice. I will keep my fermentation temp down next time I ferment an IPA. and I will give my buddy one to check out again as well as pop a few over the next few days to see if they have improved.

Any help yet?

Not at all.. Beer went straight from kettle to fermenter Chamber.. Then when we bottled we out beer in a dark corner with blanket over it. Then after 2 weeks straight to fridge

Both were stored at fridge temp (35) And served right away.. Also let it warm up.. No change throughout whole process.

Alright So I need some help to figure out what went wrong with my ipa. I was making what I called a West coast IPA and I followed the process I put into beer smith and it tasted good on bottling day and then I let it carb for 14 days. Chilled a bottle and popped it. Wow the aroma was spot on...

Ok. So I have brewed this recipe 2 times so far and got it pretty dang close to how I want it. I would like just a tad bit more roasty flavor to cut the sweetness down . So please let me know how to adjust my grains or what grains to add to make that happen. 10# 4oz - 2 Row 3# Munich Malt 10L...

So I love Wild ale's. I get to try a lot of the Fruited lambics since I live in Indiana and Upland has a wonderful sour program. So I decided its time to dive into making me a sour. Here is the Recipe for a sour that a guy at my LHBS gave me. Its a partial mash recipe- can be found here on...
