hey all; obviously not brewing with the seasons here - but im getting ready to make a citrus/wheat beer (all grain - Ale); here is a recipe i made after checking out a few other threads; Shooting for something mildly in the area of "Blue Moon". some of this is what i have on hand...

Cool, thx. Was probably just being lazy. Hope your yeast works out. Let us know how it finishes up.

Im looking for a decent irish red; i know it was a kit, but maybe you can outline the recipe quickly? Thx -beermethatbeer

awesome; not sure why i hadn't come across that one yet? i like that they sell the "hombrew version" - that includes everything you'd need. i'll keep this on my watch list. thanks!

After about 5 batches, and several hundered bottles of brew taking over my basement - - I've conned my wife into believing that we "need" a dual-tap kegerator for our dining room. She said "as long as you don't try to make it yourself" (very smart!) - - we can spend the money on a decent...

I made a brown ale recently that came out awesome. Was shooting for a Sierra Nevada Tumbler. Came out like a cross of that and Newcastle. In case you want it here was my recipe: 4lbs 2row 4lbs marris otter 1lb crystal 40 1/2 lb weyerman smoked malt 1/2 lb chocolate malt 1/2 oz challenger @60 1...

I have an all grain brewday coming up. 10 lbs grain, 2 oz hop,1 pack US05. Im thinking $30 or so, for 2 cases of killer homebrew is an unbeatable sales pitch! Best hobby in the world, by far! -- beermethatbeer

Dont be afraid to stir once mixed in w your sugar. Unless you really beat the crap out of it, you should be fine. I would assume this is why you had inconsistent carbonation. I had the same path as you. Then i started mixing (even a little bit) and making good, nicely carbed bottles of...

Figured i'd throw it out there since you're in "spending mode". Kegging!! Bottling seems to be a rite of passage in intro homebrew discussions. But i never got why people arent pushed into kegging to start? (Startup cost- i suppose; or ability to walk way from the hobby without a kegerator to...

Sounds good. Anything commercial/craft brews you might compare it to? Curious to see the color on this too, with only 3lbs of base grain. What yeast did you use; id assume an american ale yeast (us-05?) --beermethatbeer

quote of the century! luckily - it was my wife who pushed me into homebrewing, so it was an easier sell each time i said: "honey - i think i need to go buy ____". ($300 in pots/burners/fermenters/mashtun modifications later) I did 3 extract batches; 1 good (amber ale); 1 bad...

thanks for the input; not sure why i never thought of switching the 2 hops; kept messing around with the amount/timing to keep the IBU's reasonable (like under 35 or so). think im definitely going to reverse them now. this is a good test for me to compare the flavor of Challenger in 2...

Hi All, Looking for input on this all-grain recipe. Not looking to mimick anything commercial here - but hoping for a solid "everyday drinking beer". Hoping this didn't take a wrong turn when I started adding things to it (ie. Vienna/Corn); I guess my thought was to keep it...
