Hi all, I'm going to be brewing my first Belgian Wit. I haven't gone all-grain yet, so this will be an extract recipe. I'd like this to resemble an Allagash White, Harpoon UFO White, or Hoegaarden. I came up with this recipe on Brewtoad and I'd love to get some input. According to Brewtoad...

So no need for the candi sugar or crystal malt? Okay, I can cut those out. Would there be any benefit to adding liquid malt extract or is it okay with the dry malt? Also, since it's now pumpkin ale season, I was thinking of being a mad scientist and making this a pumpkin saison. I went...

Sorry, forgot to add the yeast (let's hope I don't forget that part on brewday). Yes, I will be using Myeast 3711 because I've read such great things about it on this board. Thanks!

I'm planning on brewing my first saison. I ordered these ingredients and I'm looking to make a nice light, spicy one. This will be an extract recipe. I used some of the current recipes for inspiration. 6 lbs golden light dry malt extract 1 lb pilsen dry malt extract 1 lb light candi sugar 1...

I was unable to brew on NHD as I had to help the girlfriend move some furniture. I ended up twisting my ankle while moving a couch. Today I'm hobbling along and brewing up a storm. I racked my cranberry melomel off the mulling spices and oak chips I racked it onto last weekend, and I have...

I'm trying CucuzzaBrew's variation, except I was thinking of using Wyeast 3068 Weihenstephan yeast. Any thoughts on how that might turn out? I'd like to get the banana and clove flavors in there but I hear it's a very aggressive and potentially messy yeast.

Good grief, that was dumb of me. I must have had some stout in my coffee. :drunk:

Oh duh, I missed the part where he said it's a gallon kit. Never mind.

Probably a dumb question but why don't coffee stouts have caffeine from the coffee?

I'm sure no one will notice if you drink it from a thermos or travel mug. :D

I'm currently drinking a Cisco Grey Lady white ale, writing my last ever grad school paper, and waiting for Bruins/Caps game 7 to start. GO BRUINS!! :tank:

If it's not terrible but you don't see yourself drinking it and you feel bad about just dumping it, maybe you can cook with it.

Tow pieces of equipment to invest in over the next few weeks: an autosiphon and a carboy (I prefer plastic). You won't need them on brew day but they'll help later in the process. A secondary fermentation is a very easy way to improve beer quality and it gives you more flexibility. The...

Sounds like you just want a standard show mead recipe.

$15 seems like a great deal for a kit.

My first batch was a disappointment and I ended up dumping a good portion of it after waiting to see if it got any better. I'd messed up during bottling and oxygenated every bottle, so it was only going to get worse. I ended up needing to dump some anyway to use the bottles, so I didn't feel...

Congrats and good luck! Keep us posted on your progress, the rest of us would love to hear how it goes!

When it starts to get hot here I'm going to brew a saison, since they're supposed to do well in the heat. I'm looking to brew something else in the meantime, so I was looking into a Kolsch, wheat, or a cream ale. I have some leftover wildflower honey from a mead I made, so maybe I can...

What an awesome story. I don't even want to wait 3 months to drink my mead, that guy has some incredible patience. Thanks for sharing.

This is badass.
