I took a slightly modified version of this to a homebrew meeting the other day and everyone was loving it. So now I'm brewing this once again today. Gonna switch to US 2 row and use 6 or 6.5 oz of chocolate as I want more of mouth feel with that. I used 5oz last time and it takes the chocolate...

hmmmm. I know where I'm going tonight

well, that was what I was gonna do. I rushed it and just bottled it straight with the 2 tsp of peppermint extract.

i sat in the primary for 2 weeks, racked onto .5 oz spearmint. Gonna let it sit for about 5 days, then bottle with about 60% of the recommended peppermint extract. I may do 75%. I really want this beer to warm your mouth up. We'll see how it turns out

Using a hydrometer, you must know the OG in order to calculate the FG. Not sure if there are other methods besides the good old taste test.

Well it doesn't have to be the Le Freak. I just want something similar to that or the Lagunitas Lil Wild Sumptin.

Hey everyone. I'm getting ready to start my next brew and i wanna do something different from what I've been brewing (brown ales, porters,stouts). I wanna brew something like Le Freak from green flash, but I have no idea where to start on a recipe. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

I can get any Weyerbacher, Yards, Victory, Troegs. I live a half mile from Yards so when I pick up from them the bottles are no more than two weeks old. Let me know if you are interested in anything. Yards makes a killer DIPA (Cape of Good Hope) and their IPA is a text book IPA. Not to mention...

as of right now (48 hours after pitching) the yeast are having a good old time and I have about 2 inches of airy krausen. I ended up using WLP002 as I didnt want the dryness associated with the 004. We'll see how it goes.

Just brewed this yesterday. Hit 1.056 so im happy as its been my best efficiency yet. As I was aerating it seemed like the wort was just not taking in the air (there was few to no bubbles). Fermentation began today so I don't see it being a problem, just curious as to why this happened.

I need to get someone to ship me the beer up here to Philly. I'll send back plenty of Philly favorites if someone is interested. In the mean time, I plan on brewing this in a few days. Hopefully I can finally start hitting the OG numbers.

been having extremely poor efficiency on my last two batches. Gonna test my thermometer when I get home today. Didnt EVER think about this.....oh well. Its all about the learning process.

just wanted to let you know, I have it all loaded up on the playbook and it seems to be running fine. I will play around with in today when I get a chance.

Thanks a bunch. I'll give it a try later tonight.

I brewed my second AG yesterday and my numbers were way low. only achieved 1.035 as opposed to the desired 1.057. I suspected the grain to be the issue initially, as I felt like the mill at the homebrew shop didnt do too well of a job, but now after reading about how much to stir the sparge, I...

is there anyway for me to get the APK file for this? I'm looking to convert it to BAR for use on my playbook.

has anyone finished any of these recipes? Seems like a dead thread with no final info on any of the recipes. I wanna brew this probably as my next brew in line (First is a pumpkin porter being brewed Sat) . I love the Sweetwater IPA but I've been stuck in Philly my whole life, so I have to pay...

I think I am going to do a black IPA or a hoppy Brown ale. Not really sure yet. I also plan on getting a tripel going so I can let it sit in my basement and just do its thing, since I was able to score a few 5 gallon food grade buckets. Theres so many options, I just cant figure out what I want...

Whats going on everyone. I just started brewing a month ago and I finally was able to try my first beer the other day. I purchased a Deluxe starter kit from Northern Brewer with a Brown ale extract kit. After priming with brown sugar and waiting three weeks, the beer came out pretty damn good. I...
