crazy- the liter i have in my hand right now says 10g/SERVING, which is 8oz. so if i'm doing 2 gallons, with 1/2oz each- i should have about 24 12oz bottles- which will be 12oz overall- so we'll estimate high and say 120grams of sugar. it calls for 1.9oz of white sugar for a 2 gallon batch...

any thoughts on lager yeast?

i'm a bartender and I love making complicated drinks. Have you ever tried Frank's Red Hot instead of Tobasco? I prefer to use it at home for bloody mary's, as the bars i work in never seem to carry it, but I like it because it has a softer flavor profile, with a nice burn on the back of the...

thanks for all the great comments. i'm ordering the ingredients this week and hope to brew sunday (10/27/12). I chatted with the northern brewer dudes on the live chat and I have made some adjustments. the hop additions raised the IBU too much, so to balance things out, I am going with the...

hey man- it's for my lady. rack up the brownie points when you don't need 'em. that's my motto. and it'll be fun to brew- regardless if I drink it or not. I've got 5 gallons of a Winter Spiced Ale and 5 gallons of Caribou Slobber on deck right now. my taste buds are satisfied. may as well try to...

to be honest- that's why I posted this thread. i want to make sure it comes out red and the clamato taste is present, but i didn't know if it would cause any problems. i'll check it out and update you. i'm not brewing it any time real soon so i wanna flesh this out before i take the dive and try it.

haha my lady agreed. i recently brewed a batch for my buddy's birthday called Bruce's Brown Eye P A that was a black ipa. disgusting names is kind of my thing. by vienna lager was called Brick **** House. it's just what I do. it's my little way of trying to keep my friend's from raiding my...

So, my lady keeps putting clamato in her grain belt, and being the people pleaser I am, i thought i'd try and brew a light ale while clamato in it. Not sure about a lot of these steps, but I think it'll work. My main concern is adding the clamato to the bottles at bottling. I felt this was...

i want to do a 2 gallon experimental batch of a clamato beer. any chance of getting the recipe?

i just used everything i had and am hoping for the best. i decided to make it a 2 gallon batch being that i only had 3 lbs DME and 1 lb crystal malt. here's what I did. start 1 gallon heating and steep 1lb crystal malt 60L. held a hot temp for 20 minutes and ran hot water over the grain sack...

so- i've been a slacker all summer and haven't brewed a thing. a conversation led me to a watermelon wheat recipe. i get to the homebrew store, no wheat malt. so basically, i grabbed a few things, and i'm gonna brew on sunday. here's what i got... 3LBS Tradition Dark DME 1LB Munton's Crushed...

i was pretty much flat broke all summer and couldn't pull it off. my cousin is bottling NB's Dead Ringer IPA, so his equipment will be open. I'm gonna order the Bravarian Dunkle kit from NB and just follow the directions. we're gonna try and do that next week and so if that is good, and close...

So, I'm working on a Schell's Dark clone for a friend's wedding this december. From what i've gathered it's gonna take 2 months before it's ready, so we have to brew in mid october for it to be ready in time. being the beginning of july now- it's experimentation time. I haven't jumped to 5...

it's raw wheat kernels

as far as the wheat goes- do i bag it and steep it in the boil, add it to the primary, etc. i've got a lot and a coffee grinder. i'm just not sure what to do with it.

with the booster and HME the content will be 3.7%. I think 1.5 cups of white sugar would boost the content and not flavor it too much. I have a coffee grinder so i can break up the wheat kernels.

Getting ready to brew batch number 4. I have a Whispering Wheat Weizenbier HME. I have a large bag of uncrushed wheat kernels. I have 1oz of Willamette Hops. I am going to purchase some POM juice. I'd like to make an unfiltered wheat with a nice pomegranate tinge in the way that Abita's...

they are 6 grams- i used 3 on my last batch so I used the other half of the pack. I rehydrate the yeast so i can tell if it's active or not. it had small bubbles forming at the top at the time i was ready to pitch it so i'm sure it's fine. i also covered and let sit for 5 minutes after each...

Batch number 3- another Mr. Beer experiment. This time it's Octoberfest Vienna Lager modified. Brewing tomorrow. So far, here's the run down: 1 can Mr Beer Octoberfest Vienna Lager HME Booster 1/2 oz Galena Hops 1/2 oz Willamette Hops 1 cup Brown Sugar 3 grams Munton's Dry Yeast 3...

i think adding the vodka soaked orange peel is going to end my experiment with this beer. transfer tomorrow, 2 weeks 2nd fermentation, 2 weeks carbonating, 2 weeks cold condition. i'll post a photo and a review when she's done. thanks for your advice everyone!
