My question is not will the ground product be ok but is the Badia product the right type of coriander. I read on this site that there are two or more different types of coriander. One that is great for wits and has a tropical aroma when you crack it. The other has been described as smelling like...

I've done some reading and research while my blue moon clone is in the sink cooling and it seems like I have used the wrong kind of coriander. I used Ground Coriander from Badia. Does anyone know if this is the right or wrong type of coriander for making a wit beer? It doesn't smell citrusy like...

+1 to not having cherry wheat. that beer was like drinking cherry extract syrup. the coastal wheat i thought was alright. nothing fantastic but not a bad beer either. 4 and 6 on that list are quite enjoyable. i have had boston ale but i'm drawing a blank on its taste right now.

is that what a graff is?

how did this turn out? i have an idea and this is the closest thread i found to it and let me know if people have done this but what if you made a beer and mashed and sparged with apple juice/cider? has anyone done this before?

this is a great beer. i too would be interested in a clone recipe for this brew

With those high alpha hops you could put together a nice IPA or Pale Ale. 8 lbs of DME extract for a 5 gal batch will give you an OG of 1.069 and hopefully an ABV of 6.5. add some caramel and crystal malt and you've got a great IPA backbone. as for the hops, this gives you 62 IBUS 1 oz @ 60...

yah that recipe was constructed prior to learning unmalted wheat is used. i may also use oats as well. are rice hulls recommended when mashing with unmalted wheat? also, red or white unmalted wheat?

+1 to a starter or double pitching. one of my early batches i underpitched trying to do a tripel with a OG of 1.084 and it got stuck at 1.026 after being in the primary for two months. WWAAAYYY too sweet. make your efforts worth your while and double pitch at the very least. starter would be...

Actually thinking about trying this one today. Still a rough draft though as I do not know what yeast my LHBS will have in stock today. 4 lbs Pilsen Malt 5 lbs Wheat Malt 1.25 oz Tettnanger @ 60 min (17 IBU) .75 oz Tettnanger @ 5 min (2 IBU) 1 oz Orange Peel @ Flameout and Steep 1 oz Crushed...

5 gallon paint strainer bag from lowes

thanks for the help

How did you make those calculations? To be honest I have an iPod app (BrewCloud) and just followed the water instructions it gave me.

how do you know what volume of water to use for your mash-out? this actually sounds similar to what i did but i guess i used way to much water. i think i had around 5 gallons pre-boil and i know i also did not boil off enough.

the 5G paint strainer bag i got at LOWES fit nicely over my 5 and 7 1/2 gallon kettles. whats the best way to improve efficiency using this method. i brewed like this and got OG 1.040 when it was supposed to be around 1.055. Mashed for 90 minutes at 152 and single sparged at 170. I know I...

i just used one of these for a 3 gal batch with 6 lbs of grain and it fit easily.

according to homebrew formulator maple syrup produces a dry woody flavor if boiled. however, it does suggest bottling with it to achieve the maple syrup flavor. i have never used maple syrup but thats what homebrew formulator says. dry and woody does not sound tasty.

i add at flameout after i have removed from the burner. then stir vigorously so it dissolves. i've done this with both LME and DME. I find its easier with the DME but obviously LME is a lot cheaper so I end up going with that a lot. i do this every time I brew and i have never gotten a...

charlie papazian's the complete joy of homebrewing. Going to buy another book and a turkey frier. I am hoping to make the switch to AG brewing this year so further investments into that are likely to be made as well

my lhbs has an amber and on tap that used both as finishing hops. Yumm. Generally beginning is bittering, middle is flavor, end is aroma. You could make a nice American style pale, amber, or ipa with the right amounts of each of those
