Now, this question may be real stupid, but I thought I'd give it a shot. I started doing extract kits, then AG. Well my extract kits all had this "watery" or lack of mouthfeel compared to commercial beers. (excuse my descriptions I'm not real sure how to describe it). I thought AG would...

I switched to Marris Otter for the base malt. I kept the rest of the new grain bill the same, more to satisfy my curiosity (it's a learning experience right?). I'll let everyone know how it turns out.. Thanks for the advice given!

No photos....I should have but didn't think of it at the time. Although there might be some on there still. I'll look an see this weekend. They were tiny balls, like tip of a pencil small all clumped together. Ill see if I can get a picture.

...well dang. I have no idea what was on mine...I ended up cutting the vines about where they just started dieing. It was weird, the vines were green and healthy until somewhere along the vine, there was what looked like egg sacks and the vine turned brown and died.

I grew some hop vines in Southern Maryland at my parents house. All seemed fine, especially my Cascades. They really did well until after the last harvest. Some of the vines turned brown and died. After closer inspection (I had been gone at school since I decided to go back for grad school)...

I apologize, that these questions are common...but after a lot of searching I'm still unsure. Now, I'm starting to look into my water, to see if maybe playing with the profile will give my a beer a little more "oopmh" towards improvement. I finally installed an inline carbon filter to filter...

So, I tried redesigning the recipe, anyone have suggestions? Too much caramel? Not enough base malt? Might be overdoing the bready/nutty flavors through too much victory and vienna? 2-Row Malt 7.10 lb 65.0 % Caramel 40L Malt 1.64 lb 15.0 % Vienna Malt 1.09 lb...

I do have Brown malt in there, should I try adding more? Or cut the Brown and run with vienna munich or victory? Or a combination?

So I brewed, bottled and tasted my first AG and my first recipe I tried devising. So I planned for a Nut Brown. The beer turned out to be not nutty at all, the color was darker than I expected (not that big of a deal). Anyway, I was wondering if I could get some comments on the grain bill I...

I was also planning on adding Brown sugar. Would you recomend a higher mash temp like 154 or 155? And maybe cutting the amount of crystal to 10% 20L and 2.5% 90L?

I'm new here so I apologize if this is a repeat question to you guys. So I'm working on putting together my first recipe on my own. I want to make a pumpkin ale. I love dogfish head punkin and southern tiers pumking. So I started putting together this recipe. Could you tell me if the grain...
