Well that's just it. I've seen plenty of stuff written about speed brewing, and I know out can be done without sacrificing too much quality. The limits come into play with style and gravity. I choose a style that and a recipe that's built on simplicity and a low OG so that I could achieve what I...

So, I'm trying to get a speed brew together, and I want to see what anyone has to offer. Here's the recipe: Fermentables: Munton's Extra Light Liquid Malt 7 lbs. American Crystal 10L 1 lb. Hops: Williamette (Usa) 1 oz. @60 min. Yeast: Safale US-05 Ale Yeast Misc. Yeast Nutrient...

Ok. I am clearly mistaken then. My original goal was to male a good tasting budget brew, and once I had a decent recipe, shoehorn it into a style. So where do I go with this one? Sent from my SPH-D710 using Home Brew mobile app

Looking at the bottle for this year, it says that it uses East Kent Goldings and Fuggles for hops. I'd livre to see an accurate extract clone for this. Sent from my SPH-D710 using Home Brew mobile app

The Briess Traditional Dark is a blend of malts that I think covers what you're taking about. My goal here is to produce the cheapest good tasting beer I can that still fits the style. I'm not going for a cheap buzzy-brew. I wouldn't consider myself a homebrewer if that was my only goal. Sent...

So I had an idea to make a good tasting extract beer for as low a price as I can manage. Here's what I came up with. The price on Northern Brewer came out to $21.85, not including the 1lb. of Brown Sugar. How does it look? Are there suggestions to make it better? Cheap Mild Ale Type: Extract...

When I looked it up, I found this piece about how to choose honey for brewing. You can see where my ideas came from. After reading this, is there any particular insight anyone here can add? Link

Doakes' SURPRISE, MF! Black IPA? (not a racist thing, just something dark and bitter) I really need to find an orange pomegranate ale recipe now. Sent from my SPH-D710 using Home Brew mobile app

I was thinking about that for like a breakfast ale. Sent from my SPH-D710 using Home Brew mobile app

I'm going to be brewing an Irish Red. I am going to be throwing in some (about a half pound of) honey. I'm curious what variety of honey I should be using. and how it will affect the flavor. I've narrowed it down to either clover or wildflower. Clover seems like an obvious choice, since it won't...

So I'm trying to put recipes together, and I decided it might be fun to try a theme, and since I just finished watching Dexter, why the hell not? Now, I know what you're thinking, and no, I'm not going to brew something that has a bitter and disappointing finish. Thinking about staying true...

After giving this a whirl and opening a couple of pretty green bottles, I'm very pleased with this recipe. Delicious! Sent from my SPH-D710 using Home Brew mobile app

Ah. I have just started listening to Brew Strong. I'll go back and give those High Gravity episodes a listen. Thanks.

So if I steep with 2 gallons, then add all that extract, it will still only be about 4 gallons? That's good to know. I suppose then that the initial water I put in the fermenter will have to be much lower than the 2 gallons I usually start with.

Well just as an example, my mightiest recipe is an Imperial Stout that, with a pound and a half of honey, comes in at over 20 lbs. of liquid. I don't know what that looks like volume-wise, but it seems like it might top out my 5 gallon pot.

And that wouldn't mess up the hop schedule?

So I'm planning some big beers in the future, and I'm curious how much volume is the threshold. For example, if I'm working with a 5 gallon recipe, how much extract can I add before there's a concern it won't fit in my 5 gallon pot?
