Is there a yeast which would work better for me? My apartment is usually close to 70F Also I think I might lose the biscuit and add some orange zest. What is the best time to add orange zest?

Hi all, So I am trying to formulate a recipe for my first Saison. I am looking for a malty beer with a some mouthfeel with some roasty flavor and notes of raisins and caramel. Some spices would be nice too. Here is what I have so far. 8 # Pilsner LME 7.2 oz Caramunich 6.4 oz Special B...

I have brewed mostly IPAs and Stouts since starting brewing about a year ago. I am currently in the process of building a two tap kegerator and brewed my house IPA in preparation for its opening pour. I decided it was probably time to brew something for SWMBO as well to celebrate this joyous...

Bought ingredients yesterday. I changed the extra pale LME to pale LME and dropped the 120L to 4oz. I'll brew it up this week and let you know how it turns out!

So I tried Green Flash's Hop Head Red last week and I was blown away. I want to try my hand at making a partial mash recipe, and after looking at their website and searching these forums, here is what I came up with. Hop Head Read Partial Clone 5 Gal Batch 5 lbs Extra Pale LME 3 lbs...

So I made a new recipe for a IPA with the help of my LHBS, and the OG came out to be 1.080... about 20 points higher than I expected. It was a PM, but I don't have the recipe on me atm. I will post it once I get back to school. My question is regarding whether or not I needed a yeast starter...

Thanks for the help. I just racked it this afternoon and added 2 oz of Chinook and 2 oz of Amarillo to the secondary along with 1/2 a lb of sugar. I'll let ya know how it turns out! Cheers :mug:

Yeah, I just looked back at my numbers and realized I wasn't even close to 1.07. Not sure how I came up with that one haha. How much sugar is a little sugar?

So the first beer I brewed was a dry Irish stout to get some experience and a bit of a handle on the whole process. I then made a recipe for an IPA, which by tasting the wort, may be a spicy caramel IPA. Here is the recipe for the partial mash: Grains: 3 lbs: Munich LME 3.5 lbs: Extra Pale LME...

Hi all, So I just finished bottling my first batch of beer... what a mess. How do you guys bottle? Any special or effective techniques you guys use. Also, I suck at using my autosiphon. Between bottling and siphoning, I think I feel like I have oxygenated my beer quite a few times. Any...

Hey guys, Just brewed up my first beer last night (dry irish stout), and made a few errors, but I think everything is okay. However, I came home today from class and the yeast, at least I think its yeast, had bubbled up into airlock at the top of my carboy. When I checked this morning...

Thanks again guys. I have bought the ingredients to make the PM laguinitas recipe and I plan on brewing that first and then a dry irish stout which can sit in my primary while the laguinitas sits in the secondary. I'll let you know how they come out!

Yep. Already read How to Brew haha. Thanks for the help guys. My equipment should be here soon!

Thanks for the advice guys. I think I'm going to go to my local homebrew store tomorrow and pick the guys brain and maybe pick up a kit. I agree, it would probably be best if I started with a kit.

Hi! I'm a college student who discovered how much I love good beer while studying in Australia. Now that I'm back state side, I want to give it a shot. I've done a fair amount of reading and I'm really excited to start brewing. I've decided to try my hand at an IPA first. I'm not sure how...
