I live with six guys (I'm in college, it's not weird). We have always been known as the drunk guys, now that I have started brewing the past year it's gotten even better haha... However, three of my roommates are strictly light beer keystone light piss water drinkers. They have all drank my...

Alrighty... I luckily have some extra crystal on hand, so that kills two birds with one stone!

I really like the way this could turn out. I have no idea what to tell you but I love improvision... Because from improvision comes innovation:rockin:. I have never done a pumpkin ale... Please keep us posted!

Hey guys... Just revised my APA recipe, any advice is appreciated! FERMENTABLES: 6lbs of NB pilsen malt syrup 2 lbs of NB golden malt syrup 1lbs honey SPECIALTY GRAINS: flaked barley (1 lbs for head retention) Flaked oats (1 lbs for head retention) HOPS: chinook (1oz at 60 min)...

I'm thinking about switching the golden malt out for pilsen malt. I would like to get a lighter color. I suppose this will sacrifice some maltiness and mouthfeel. Any suggestions on blending the two or how to make this as light colored as possible?

So cut the pearl and add more citra or just move the citra to the pearl slot? If i added more citra it might turn into an IPA, but that's fine. Love citra :D

Yeah 5 Gallon. Thanks!

Ok, I haven't made a pale ale before and I am pretty excited about this recipe:rockin: tell me if you have any suggestions. 6lbs Gold Malt Syrup (45 min) 1lb of Bries golden light DME (15 min) 1lb of honey (5 min) 1oz of chinnook (60 min) 1oz of Pearl (20 min) 1.5 oz citra (0 min) 1oz...

Ended up being a pretty big success. Starts out slightly sweet with lots of citrus notes and finishes with a hint of cinnamon with light hop bitterness. REALLY happy with it.

I recently dumped about a quarter of my fat tire clone. It was just too sweet for the style and something else was off. I drank a lot of it but it just got to the point where I had to dump the rest. I also did the drunk brew day :drunk: with a dunkelweiss about a week ago and added 2 pounds of...

I have only been brewing for a year and a half now. I haven't every thought of a name for a brewery but I just built myself a keezer and it has three handless taps. I am a PR major at Wartburg College and know how to do some cool stuff with design so if I come up with a sweet name I think i...

So I ended up brewing this one the other day and made the awesome mistake of getting tanked on my pineapple hef and newly kegged fat tire clone (both turned out great btw). I took all of your suggestions with the choc. steep etc. However, in my drunk state a higher abv and honey note sounded...

what about Wyeast 3638 Bavarian Wheat? I have used it for hefe before and had great results...

Finally got a hydrometer so I had to test out the big wheat. sitting at 1.023 right now, still getting some bubbling so she is on course. When doing so I couldn't help but take a little taste test. Things are going well so far, taste a bit like a normal wit up front has some spice in the middle...

Thanks guys. I like the ones I have made, but they were missing something in the middle. chocolate malt sounds like a great remedy for that.

For sure, I knew right away that I wouldn't want to use the dry yeast.

Thanks! That helps big time!

3.15 lbs munich malt syrup (60 min) 3.15 lbs Wheat malt syrup (15 min) 1oz Tettnang (60 min) Danstar Munich Wheat Beer Yeast is what is recommended by Northern Brewer but I plan on using Wyeast 3522 Belgian Ardennes instead. Also have a pound of left over Simpsons Medium Crystal crushed malt...

I am almost done with my new keggerator/keezer made from a chest freezer. I have actually never kegged a beer before and am super tired of the constant b.s. that goes along with bottling. However, does anyone have any advice on what i need to do differently when kegging as opposed to bottling...

Getting Ready to brew another dunkelweiss. It is the standard extract kit from northernbrewer.com. Any advice on what I can do to get it to be a bit more robust or any tricks that you have done in the past that have turned out well?
