Unfortunately their is no other way that I know of. I do know most varieties thrive here. The dog didn't think it was very funny after a pummeled him with a rhizome.

Before the dog decided to eat them yes. What would you like to know? You'll want to harvest them before the first frost.

If you decide to use heat source that also produces light don't for get to cover your fermentor. I'm in the process of devising a recipe for a toasted apricot oatmeal stout I put the porter on the back burner for now.

If it is too cold in the closet which you might use to lager in the use of a light bulb ( work light, old lamp) or a brooder light ( its used to help chickens maintain body heat in coops) might raise the ambient tempeture of the closet enough to prevent possible fermantation issues such as stuck...

Sounds great! Just be careful to monitor the tempature outside if your going to lager outside if it gets too cold fermentation will stop. Even with the controller I have on the fridge in my garage I still have to keep on eye on it during the fall and winter months. A light bulb or possibly a...

What did you decide to do for yeast in a marzen?

I personally am a big fan of California Ale yeast, you could however use whatever you would like. But then I'm all about experimentation in brewing. Right now I'm kicking around a couple different ideas for an IPA and a porter.

Its not particularly difficult to make. Are you still extract brewing? Partial mash? You don't necessarily need a fridge to lager a marzen in you could use an ale yeast rather than a lager yeast which would eliminate the need to lager. It will just depend on how true to style you wish to...

Welcome I'm in Carson as well. I have a couple of beers Incubator (a doppelbock) and Octobeer (a marzen with cherries) destined to be bottled in the not too distant future. Up next an oatmeal stout and Just Peechy (a dubbel with peaches). Happy brewing probst!!

Welcome happy brewing. Where in Nevada are you?

Found a recipe for a Flanders Brown that I want to try it calls for ale yeast and special bacteria? Any suggestions on what the special bacteria could be? Thanks for your time.

I've used both methods with great results from both methods.

I was thinking about making a honey lager with elder berries. Anybody ever used elder berries in their beer? If so how is or was it. I am also open to suggestions as far as another possibility for a flavoring of some sort.

I've used both store bought filtered water and tap water. I didn't find the store bought water to be superior so since then I've just used tap water. If your going to buy water look for one that is filtered by reverse osmosis thought. At any rate have fun!!!!

For me the couple of AG batches I've done its been $1 or more cheaper per pound for the grain versus the price per pound for extract.

I've brewed about 10-12 to batches so far.

Just curious if anybody has used either grapefruit or huckleberries as a flavoring for their beer. And if they have had positive results doing so. Thanks

As a young padawan brewer I thought I would find a source to seek enlightenment from a jedi. master.
