1-gallon brewer here; I started with 1-gallon, all-grain brewing and never looked back. In my opinion, it is perfect for my circumstances, my space limitations and my "consumption rate." As an added bonus, I've gotten try literally dozens of recipes, from pre-packaged mixes to recipes on this...

I have. The mead that was produced tasted great. It had a quality that I cannot put my finger on; it might have been the way that it is supposed to be, or it might have been as ShineOn says above...I do not know. But the results were very good, very drinkable, and quite popular with the folks I...

Thanks for the reply, BAtR - much appreciated! The variety I have is Edelweiss, not the original, but I assume that they use the same bottling procedure. One question (if I even do this): I only have LME, not DME. I assume that would work as well? Thanks again - Ron

I have heard that dregs from Schneider Weisse can be saved and used for brewing, but does anyone know if the same holds true for this? If so, will the dregs from one bottle be enough for a 1-gallon batch? Right now, the dregs are in the bottle covered, and in the refrigerator. If I want to...

Hi, Jerry - I am indeed still active on the forum and I think you will be happy with the results if you give them a try. Since my first rbew of this beer, I've got to thinking that about 1 pound of fruit per gallon is about right, so if you brew 5-gallon batches, it looks as if you're going to...

I've used this yeast. Even though I prefer the Munich type, this worked well and I think you will be pretty happy with it, considering your goals. :mug:

A little goes a long way - the rosehips were about the same diameter as a dime, and only two were called for in the recipe (equivalent of 1 teaspoon), added 20 minutes into the boil. As for the petals, they were the equivalent of one tablespoon (dried) or 1/4 cup (fresh), added right at...

I'll be brewing the lavender one next, probably Sunday - everything identical except the for the lavender vice rose element. These are a little outside of what I would normally try, but they sounded good for this time of year and they should make a pretty cool comparison.

Good morning, guys, and thanks for the comments. From what I could see of the recipe (without the rose element), it is a fairly typical Belgian Blonde Ale, and I am sure that it would be a good one. Most of the BBS recipes that I have seen or made are built on a solid foundation based on...

Tonight, I am brewing a rose-kissed Belgian Blonde ale from Brooklyn Brew Shop. Called "Rose-Cheeked and Blonde," this beer is a typical Belgian Blonde with the addition of rose hips and petals, which are added during the boil. Brooklyn Brew Shop describes it as "a breath of fresh air with a...

Looking forward to seeing this one ~

In the worst-case scenario, you're going to end up with beer.

@Travis K. Jansen: You're free to do as you please, of course; but I'd suggest reading this, first: https://braumagazin.de/article/brewing-bavarian-weissbier-all-you-ever-wanted-to-know/

Posting a reply, mainly to subscribe to the thread. Will read when I have time. Thanks!

Interesting discussion, I am learning much and appreciate the education! Does anyone have any thoughts on using "floor malted" grains, and whether they would be more "traditional" or "pre-1800s," as the OP is trying to achieve? Thanks in advance, guys - Ron

Welcome from Montana, USA ~ I am a great admirer of both Belgian cuisine and the Belgian beers that I have tried. :mug:

Northumberland? If so, tell the missus that it is a matter of your heritage; pork pies, fruit wines, ciders too, perhaps. Explain that it's up to you to keep the traditions alive.

No.

Kveik - looking it up now, and find myself interested! http://www.garshol.priv.no/blog/380.html Thanks again, guys ~ :mug:

BD86 - since I've started brewing, I've been avoiding the IPAs and NEIPAs just on general principle, but after trying a few different ones and finding a couple-three that I like, it might be time to re-think that? Some sort of tropical or maybe Pina Colada idea sounds really good, right now...
