Did you use the recipe for Sugar #4 or Sugar #5?

Didn't forget about this thread don't worry. The beer turned out great. As you know I made 10 gallons, 5 with peppers and 5 without. They're both really good. One of the best beers I've made. I let it age in the keg for a good long while and it has really let the flavors develop. The...

I'm in Pittsburgh and I messed up. I'm supposed to brew tomorrow morning with my friend, and I thought the brew store was open on Sunday and it's not. I need to come up with a few things so we can brew, whatever you got, I'm buying so long as it's at a reasonable price, let me know. Looking...

Sent you a private message, if there's anyone else that has anything that i may purchase let me know. I'm trying to start brewing at 10am so I can get to work on time.

I'm at the Improv comedy club right now in the waterfront

I'll take em! Can I pick them up tonight? Got any specialty grains that I could purchase? I have some, but not sure how much and of what.

I want to brew tomorrow and need some supplies. Was hoping someone could help. If anyone has any hops I can buy from them let me know.

Way cool, thanks for the info, I did not know that. I'm obviously very new to brewing, and trying to understand as much as possible. This is cool stuff.

Yeah, I don't know why, but beersmith never makes the recipe 1:1 when you double it from 5 to 10 gallons. Should I just forgo what the program says and just double everything?

Yes, I have beer smith. I typed it in as an american pale ale, it doesn't seem to match up, but just because the bitterness, color, gravity, and ABV match up to a style, that doesn't mean the grain bill and hops are true to that style does it?

HA, yeah, that's exactly what I meant. It wouldn't be quite 2 pounds of candi sugar either, the original recipe is for 5.5 gallons. So I'm guessing it would be more like 1 pound 13 oz or so. Anything else you noticed that I should change?

So I tried to use beersmith to make this into a 10 gal recipe. I just got the program and am not sure I did it right. So I've posted what I got below, Just wanted to see if it looks right to you. 1.25 Chinook at 60min 1.75 Chinook 2oz Willamette 2lbs of the candi sugar 2.6 oz crystal 80l 13.5...

OK, so I'm fairly new to the whole homebrewing thing. I've got a few recipes under my belt, but am wondering how to identify the style of beer from a grain bill. This way I'd be able to better understand how to tweak my recipes while staying true to the style. As well as identify a style of...

OK everyone. So it's update time for the beer I brewed a few weeks ago. I know some of you were looking for an update. This was my first time using a yeast starter. And I'll never go back, it took off right away. And was still fermenting when I transferred into the secondary last Sunday. I...

I live in Pittsburgh, and we have a cultural district in the city with a bunch of different types of food shops. I just went to the mexican market there and I bought mine. Check your area to see if there is a mexican market somewhere. You can also buy them online at a bunch of different...

I absolutely will let you know how it turns out. Thank you all for your help, I think I have a good idea of how to do it now. So look for a reply by me in about a month when I have my results. Thanks again.

Well, I'd do it in the main boil, but I don't want 10 gallons of chipotle beer. I'd rather have 5 of one and 5 of the other, in case it doesn't turn out so good. I don't want my beer to have a vodka flavor to it, so I'm leaning away from going that route. I think I'll boil them in a small pot...

Here's a recipe for an IPA that I'm going to brew in the very near future. 23 pounds 12 oz of 2 Row 1 pound 8 oz of Carapils 1 pound 8 oz of Crystal 20L 1 pound Munich 10L 1.75 oz Chinook 30 min 2.5 oz Cascade 30 min 2.5 oz Cascade 15 min 1 oz Willamette 15 min 1.75 oz Willamette 5...

Hey all. Below is the recipe for Brewers Best Imperial Pale ale. I'm sure you've all heard of this recipe, if not brewed it. I've done a bunch of extract kits, and this one was by far our favorite beer we've made. I recently purchased beer smith 2 because we are starting to make all grain...

I have broken 3 of them since I've started brewing. They're cheap plastic, and they break. I brew a lot, and think a more sturdy solution would be great. I heard about something called a Mark Pump, but I also heard it can't be started dry. It needs to constantly have wort in it to be...
