So, most of you probably know of Mangrove Jack California Lager yeast. A yeast that will ferment at 70 degrees or less (in general) and is in the style of a dry ale yeast, but it makes lagers. SOOOOOO, in my infinite wisdom (or insanity, take your pick) I have decided to use it in the most...

Sooo, yeah, it's going to be riding high as a strong ale, which is fine really. But as S-Met said, you're gonna want to sit on it for a while and if you bottle, a year of aging will mellow it out nicely and this is probably a happy accident unless there is no flavor for X-amount of reasons. If...

Yeast?

Ahhh yes, the calculator seems to suggest a gnats anus hair less than two packs, so two packs it is to see what happens. It will be an adventure! :D Thanks Hoppy!

Well, sweet is not really something I'd worry about. More importantly, what is the recipe as that will dictate more on how it will turn out. I mean, you could have, through the power of tomfoolery made yourself a nice little Imperial Irish Red that will make your nipples hard and grow a comb...

Just as a more practical option for beginners (not that the above options are not good ones, they are superior to mine, but I am a lazy bastard and probably insane) add 1 lb of coconut sugar during the last 15 minutes of your boil. Coconut sugar ferments flawlessly and has lots of the nutrients...

Hey all, sorry I have been away for a while. Brewing as usual but I have to start my next beer which is one of my secret recipes (so I won't go into too much detail on the grains and sugars). Anywho, this Beer has won me several awards in the past and this time I want to win some more! ;) It is...

10 lbs Maris Otter 1 lb Carapils 1 lb Flaked Corn 1 lb Victory 0.5 Hallertau (60) 0.5 Saaz (20) 0.5 Citra (20) 2 oz Sweet Orange Peel (15) 1 lbs Coconut Sugar (15) Whirfloc Dragon Fruit (3 to 5 fruit) 1.5 L Passion Fruit Puree (Being lazy I just did 2 liter) 1.5 L Watermelon Puree (being lazy I...

My DIPA I go insane but get the IBUs on the lighter side at (so scale mine back if needed) 1oz Belma Hops and Citra (60) 0.5oz Williamette and Cascade (30) 0.5 oz Galena (5) Make sure to add a pound of coconut sugar during the last 15 minutes. Your yeast will love your for it.

I got 72% out of the first batch and 77% out of the second one. I use the Robobrew a bit differently because I am a lazy bastard. I take six gallons of purified water and add my grains in once my desired temp is reached. After an hour I let the grain cylinder drain and during that time I do a...

Hopefully it works! Double check the principle practices on sterilization with vodka and plan accordingly. I think I forgot to mention how long it might take for the chocolatepowder/vodka combo to actually become sterile before introducing it to the fermenting beer. b^^ EDIT: Also consider...

You could try cold sparging which is what I usually do with my stouts to mellow out the bitterness. Just use some filtered sparge water at room temp, or cold, and do some of that. I have tried cold steeping and it doesn't really seem to do much. Is this all grain, Partial Extract grain, or...

Well, Nitro is kinda funny... You have to have a nitro cylinder, a nitro regulator, a special nitro tap for it, and go somewhere that sells it in a beer gas combo. Outside of that, this should be enough. I force carb my beers with Co2 first at about 1.3 vols. and then serve with beer gas (which...

Simcoe is also a delightful option as well. I'm still up to bat for Belma, but I know it is not always available at a local brewshop, so Simcoe is probably just as good. It is a bit more earthy, but if that is a-ok with you then more power to it. Belma, to me, is a better substitute, but I don't...

Looks like a sexy build. A lot of Amarillo in there, which is fine, but you can save a few bucks (since it seems Amarillo is over 3 bucks now) and put some Belma in there instead. It will fit the same flavor profile, the AAs are about 1 percent lower, but ultimately is a good substitute for...

I know this is late but I have done belgian quads with Mangrove Jack M31 and M41 with successful results to the point of wining an award or two and getting an ABV average of 11~13.6%. I use a pound of coconut sugar in place of yeast nutrients and I tend to shy away from liquid yeast personally...

So I have done a Dragonfruit Tropical Swirl beer in the past which has won awards. Now, me being a cheap bastard and pretty lazy, I would say that implementing fruit is not really hard. When I made "The Dragon's Snatch" I used half a watermelon, passion fruit, dragon fruit (for color and a hint...

With what has already been said. You'll loose some of the chocolate taste from the powder (think watery chocolate milk) but if you add the nibs it should help. If you still feel your weak on the chocolate...You could, dare I say, add a 1/4 to 1 cup of chocolate powder to a cup of chocolate vodka...

Fuggles (60 min), East Kent Goldings (60 minutes), or be daring and do a Hallertau Mittelfruh (60 minutes) and Cascade Blend (30 or 15 minutes depending on strength of hoppiness). The first two are my recommendation and the blend is based on what you're listing you have. b^^ (they are all 1 oz...
