Feeling a bit imperial? Check out John's Red https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f74/johns-red-english-barleywine-97485/

Hi everyone. I love Lagunitas and I am very excited to see that they worked with the crew @ Can You Brew It to give cloned recipes of their IPA, Maximus IPA, Censored Ale, Brown Shugga, and Little Sumpin' Sumpin'. It is interesting to see what all of them have in common and what hops are used a...

remember that above 100 ibus isn't really possible to calculate so you may as well load the extra bittering hops into the late-additions so that you get more taste than bitting. does that make sense? looks delicious to me. have you used that extract / crystal / dextrose combination before? I...

Thanks much for both of your replies. I'll give it a chance to more fully carbonate and see what happens. That really *would* be a great experiment - trying to link aroma to grain bill. Maybe one day when I have a more consistent set up I'll give it a shot. What do you think about aroma vs...

Hi everyone. Simple question. I made two beers with the same amount of dry-hopping but they turned out much different. One was a two hearted clone (extract + steep) with .2oz per gallon Centennial 9% pellets. 55IBU, 6% ABV, 1.011 FG 2-row extract, vienna, 60L crystal, cara-pils all...

I'm assuming that "German Wheat Malt" is what I want to use, which is generally seen as being self-converting. I'm only doing one gallon so here is my partial mash bill: 10oz wheat malt (self-converting) 8oz munich + crystal malts (Munich needs mashing, crystal could use it) 12oz of 2-row (to...

Giving this a shot tomorrow. I have a question. I've never brewed with "wheat malt". 1) If I use wheat grain in partial mash, can it convert itself? I see that "White Wheat" is seen to have high diatastic power, almost as much as 2-row. But "German" and "Belgian" wheat need 2-row for...

Do you think 50IBU would be too high? I like barleywines and am excited to try this (with Magnum hops instead of Nugget - also known for their smooth bittering) and don't mind a more hoppy barleywine.

Has anyone tried their lately? How is it aging?

I did my first SMaSH with maris otter / cascade, currently in primary. I did a 1G setup, assuming like 5% AA for cascade although I have no idea since they're home grown whole flowers :) 1 gallon all grain batch OG: 1.081 3lb 12oz Maris Otter .6oz Cascade (60min) .4oz Cascade (30min)...

Hi guys! (popping the cherry here). I've actually been reflecting on the low-IBU of hopslam ever since I read an email from the head brewer @ Bell's. I think it makes a lot of sense. IBU does not indicate how many hops are added to the brew, after all, it only indicates how early the hops were...
