Definitely post how this turns out. I'm very interested in your Werther's procedure for future use. I believe your hops choices are right on. I'm still thinking about my grain bill, but I have time, because my fermenters are currently occupied. Probably 3.3 lbs. Extra Light DME, some Maris...

I'm in the same boat. My next brew will be either a butterscotch or butter rum ale. I haven't settled on a recipe, but I know I will be throwing an extract of one of those flavors in the bottling bucket. I would be interested in seeing your recipe. I make an oatmeal stout to which I add an...

That one turned out really good. I am doing partial mashes now. How does this sound? 6 lbs. Maris Otter 1 lb. Crystal 60 1/2 lb. Biscuit 1/2 lb. Flaked Maize 60 minutes at 152. Bring to boil, add 3.3 lbs. Amber LME. 2 oz. Challenger at 60 min. 1 oz. Fuggles at 30 min...

I back sweetened and bottled my 6 gallon batch yesterday. I really like this stuff. I will probably try white grape next. Thanks, Yooper for all this information.

No problem at all that I noticed.

Last year I brewed an oatmeal stout kit from my LHBS. I added a 1oz. bottle of coconut extract to the bottling bucket. It was one of my favorites.

I went with a compromise of 2 lbs. of smoked. I also added an extra ounce of Fuggles. It turned out to be awesome. It's as smokey as a rauchbier, but there is also a really good porter going on at the same time. I'm having one (or more) with pork barbeque today. Life is good.

I made a 6 gallon batch. O.G. 1.096 It was in the primary for 17 days. I racked to a glass carboy today at .998 S.G. It was clear and tart. I want it to be a sweet dessert wine. I have about a half gallon of head space in the carboy. Should I top that off with water and leave it in the...

...and will it work? I'm fairly new to partial mash brewing, so help is appreciated. I want to steep in grain bags for 60 min. at 150: 3 lbs. Pilsen 1 lb. Vienna .5 lb. carapils .5 lb. smoked. (I just wanted the smoke to be there in the background.) Drain and rinse the bags...

I was thinking I would like to brew a Brewer's Best Robust Porter and add 1 1/2 lbs. of smoked malt to it along with 1/2 cup of black strap molasses and 3/4 cup of brown sugar. I will double up on the Nottingham yeast. I've made the Smoked Porter kit before and found myself wanting more...

I got started brewing last Christmas...a gift from my wife. I brewed 23 beers and made 4 wines in my first year. At first it was kits, then I started tweaking and finally I'm creating my own recipes. My best effort is a 10% Belgian Strong Ale in corked Belgian bottles. I gave some away as...

I was sitting by my fire pit on my patio enjoying a couple of Oktoberfests with a nice smell of oak smoke in the air. I started to wonder about smoking my own grains for a rauchbier. Anybody ever done this? I believe beechwood is normally used. What about oak or cherry? What methods or equipment...

Thanks Alf. Brewing tonight.

Keep in mind that I'm a newbie. I want to brew an ESB wih a little extra kick. I'm hoping I can get a little advice on my hop schedule. 1 lb. Maris Otter 1 lb. Crystal Malt 60L. .5lb. Flaked Maize .25 lb. Biscuit. 3.3 lb. Amber LME 3 lb. Light DME Wyeast 1968 I have 2 oz...

Just wanted to say Hi. I'm a newbie. My daughter's nickname is Schmoogie or Schmoog, so the beer that I brew is called Schmoogdaddy. Schmoogmommy got me an intermediate brewing kit this past Christmas. I have brewed 13 kits and a couple from scratch from extract so far. Some of them have...
