Yeah I'm blessed to live in Madison, WI. Lots of good local breweries and New Glarus is world-class. However a lot of beers I find tend to be subjective although most WI breweries seem to have something for everyone's taste. For instance, even my mother who doesn't like beer made me leave 2...

Also it's all a bit subjective in the first place, I guess.

Ale Asylum Ballistic IPA (the shorter heritage bottle) and it is friggen delicious.

Wow didn't know it was made by a macro. Maybe I'll have to steer clear of trying this one out.

I've recently tried some Goose Island and Meantime IPAs and I found them to be incredibly delicious. While I definitely enjoy the American style IPAs, I'm wondering what other English style IPAs are out there. On a HB note, anyone ever try making their own? I imagine it needs swapping out...

Used this for my fourth batch. Followed the recipe except I used Wyeast 3068 instead of the combined yeast the OP used. Got a OG of 1.057; wondering how much of an issue that will be compared to the recipe's 1.049. I wonder if I boiled too hot/long.. Otherwise I had no real issues! Not...

Cool thanks. I upgraded from the 3g pot on loan from my future mother in law to a 7.5g SS pot. I'll have to check out the BIAB method because I'm not going to be able to afford a mash tun anytime soon.

Thanks! So what exactly is a partial mash then?

Interesting, I just read that post and I'm curious to know how an additional racking improves the gain.

At the moment, my palate's current love is India Pale Ales! I've been grabbing some mix-match 6's to try out different IPAs such as Founders Centennial, SN Celebration, SN Torpedo, Ale Asylum, Goose Island, Victory HopDevil, etc. I really liked the Goose Island IPA and how balanced it is...

Ok so I did a search on all grain vs malt extract brewing and I found this thread. Read through it and found it very interesting. Got a few questions. My very first brew was with a 1-gallon BBS kit; their Everyday IPA. Apparently that's AG. Did the mash, sparge, boil and everything. Had a lot...

Bummer that doesn't work.

So basically I went ahead and bottled. Doing some math, I ended up using 2 tbsp worth of corn sugar in 100ml of water as recommended earlier in the thread. No problems siphoning with the autosiphon- makes it so easy. And practicing with water is very helpful. Was able to put together 10 full...

I'm going to bottle my Everyday IPA tomorrow morning. It'll have been 24 days post-brew. I just realized I need to get some priming sugar as it seems honey is too random of a source depending on where/when you buy the honey. This being my first brew, I didn't take an OG. Using the Priming Sugar...

After having some great English IPAs which IMO are far more balanced than American IPAs which tend to be massive hop bombs, I think I'm going to have that as a brew after I bottle 6 gallons' worth of American IPAs..

You got a good all-grain Hefe recipe for a 1 gal? I assume just divide all those numbers by 5 and that would work.

Thanks for the recipe- it looks like a perfect 50/50 mash which I think is traditional. Going to gather up the ingredients next week and brew it the week after! Can't wait!

This is a long thread but I have a 1 gallon BBS kit that I've already used to brew an Everyday IPA which is going to get bottled soon. I'm not sure if I want to buy another BBS kit, and thinking of brewing a 1 gal batch of Hefeweizen which ideally would have liquid yeast. The issue is that I'm...

I have several pocket size Moleskine-style notebooks that you can get from Target for $3 for a pack of 3. They're blue, red and yellow and have designs signifying London, New York and Paris. I'm using these for my drink impressions and carry with me if I know I'm going to go out for a drink...

Yeah, I've looked but haven't really ventured much to the other forums. At the moment, I'm reading these recipes and it sounds like there are some great Hefe's on there which posters say aren't terribly difficult to do.
