wow, that's awesome that it will get that clear I used Saaz, and I just threw the molasses in there because I was a few brews deep and just wanted to get the gravity up, haha. But I think it will turn out pretty good, couldn't really pick it out in the sip i had when i was transferring but...

Thanks for the reply gratus fermentatio, but that leads me to another question. I used Simply Apple, the Simply brand of apple juice, for my base which was really dark, a lot darker than motts or something like that, so I am wondering how clear it will get. This is my first batch of cider so i...

I brewed 5 gallons of O'Graff's cider 3 weeks ago. Over the weekend I transferred it into secondary, and it looked and tasted pretty good, seems sweet enough. I just did a gravity reading and it is at 1.000. Should I go ahead and bottle now? I haven't seen any fermentation in a few days. Should...

1024+5=1029 Threw in 1.75# of brown sugar, and .25# pounds of honey and .5# of molasses extra and it is going crazy! Can't wait to try it.

My sister gets some pretty quality dates from ethnic grocers in NYC so I will probably get them from her. as far as base beers goes, Dark Belgian sounds like it would be fantastic. I have yet to make a Belgian beer but really want to. Any good Belgian beer recipes I could use as a base for...

Awesome, I was worried I guffed up brew night!

Accidentally left my Nottingham yeast and Saaz hops out of the fridge for 48 hours. Am I going to have any problems using them? They are in the fridge cooling down now but I figured I should ask before I use them tonight. Thanks

Hey, sorry for posting as another first timer but I was hoping you guys could take a look at my possible recipe and procedure and offer your sage advice. I am not looking for my cider to be extremely sweet or extremely dry, somewhere in the middle is good. Also the higher the alcohol content the...

Okay, I have cinnamon sticks so I will do that instead of using powder. That is weird that the Brew Ha Ha recipe called for 3 tbsp but I suppose it was a typo. The only lingering question I have now is when should I add my spices.

Okay cool this is helping, here is a revised recipe: Malt- 3 lb Amber Dry Extract 3 lb Extra Light Dry Extract 1 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 60L Hops- 2 oz Columbus (Tomahawk) (45 MIN) Spices- (Just realized in not sure when during my boil i should add these things, should I put them in the...

Hello, me and my roommates are nubes but we want to try to make a Holiday Ale. We've got a Russian Imperial Stout in secondary and that is the first thing we've brewed so we are new to this. I have tried to do some research on Holiday Ale recipes and this is a combination of a lot of them but it...
