I'm going to visit my friend outside of Brussels next weekend, and being a homebrewer, am extremely excited about the beer. I would definitely consider myself a novice as far as Belgian brews go, and am ready to have my mind blown. If there's anyone out there that knows what i MUST try, or...

cool. sounds good, i'll cut back on the specialty and consider going all DME, thanks everyone

Well currently I'm only doing extract brewing, So does all this information still apply, like using beertools? Also, im not determined to clone sierra nevada, it was just an example of the style beer im going for. i've been doing a lot of reading on this site and others, about american pale...

Alright, well i've just finished my second batch ever, and it turned out great. I want to stray from the kits though and buy individual ingredients for my first unique beer. I'm looking for a nice pale ale, something with a lot of hop flavor not unlike sierra nevada. Any suggestions...

by the way, what are some good sites for ordering my next batch? thanks

Well, i bottled my first batch about a week ago, an American Amber Ale, and i just tried the first one. I noticed when racking/bottling that it had a really, well, "yeasty" smell to it. Thats really the only way i can describe it. Never brewed before so i figured perhaps it was normal, and...

ok. should i also try not to move it around? would that just undo days of waiting?

thanks, yeah i took a cup full out and it looks/smells good, except its reallly hazy. bubbling has definitely stopped as of a few days ago. is the haze caused by moving the fermenter around? ii guess im asking if i should let it sit for like a day straight w/o moving it before bottling...

First time brewer here, had some mishaps during fermenting but think its alright, although it hasn't changed much as far as color in a week. im trying to gauge when its ok to bottle w/o hydrometer. thought it would be more pale and clear, but its a dark brown. any specific reasons why? or...

Alright, thanks. Yeah i've been keeping it in a tub of ice water and its stayed around 70-74. It will be easier to keep constant temp in the winter since i have heat but no AC. What are some signs to know when it is done fermenting/conditioning and ready for bottling, Besides...

So i guess a was a bit hasty with this being my first brew, and i didnt wait for the brew to cool very much before adding the yeast. It was probably about 5 min after i added the gallon of brew to a couple gallons of cold water. Not sure what the temp was, or if thats the problem at all. But...
