I have brewed a lot with El Dorado and I work at a brewery where the brewer uses it A LOT and he has told me that El Dorado is not a stand alone hop. It is really something that needs to be accompanied by other hops to really get all you can out of it.

I have never used Biscuit, Victory or Munich I just know they are all pretty common malts I am always up for input on something more interesting.

Thanks for the input and I will take the amounts into consideration, how ever if you look at my reasoning for this recipe its all based on 8's so that part I am not going to change but I have never worked with biscuit malt so I appreciate the input

My efficiency is always awful and I have tried so many things to fix it but can never really get it but what I have done to better prepare myself is i set my numbers to 65% efficiency in brewtoad and I have been able to hit those numbers pretty constantly

Thanks for the input, the hops I am not as worried about its having 8 different malts I was kind of worried about I have never done a malt bill like that before its always 3-4 malts for my brews. I know the hop schedule doesn't make sense but for the name sake I think I am going to leave it as...

Hi Guys I am looking for a little help from the amazing minds here, a friend and myself are entering a home brew contest up in Maine and had an idea to do a strong ale. Now the only rule for the contest is we have to use the same yeast as the brewery who is putting on the competition which...

So I have used pineapple juice in my Pineapple Saison but from my understanding you want to have 100% pineapple juice with no preservatives or additives. The ascorbic acid can throw things off with your yeast, when I have done it I used 100% organic pineapple juice with nothing added. I usually...

So oddly enough I just did my first BIAB parti-gyle last week and it actually went off with out a hitch. I did a 2.5 gal batch of an imperial stout at about 13 lbs of grain my first runnings came in with an OG of 1.084. I started that kettel on its way to boil as I heated up my next batch of...

Wow, thank you for all the helpful advice! I did kill a fish while fishing this weekend (swallowed the hook) so dug a hole in between my two first years and buried it. I assume that would provide me with some nitrogen for these plants as well?

So I sprinkled some of this around my two first years and my second year. Should I worry at all?

the only thing I think would be an issue is I would guess that the larger pot that is actually touching the burner would get to a boil before the smaller one and then what do you do at the end of your 60min boil for one when the other is only at 50 min

You should come by for sure, there are 4 brewery's with in a 10 mile radius off exit 4 on 93 all very solid and a wide range of brews to experience

You should, we are one of 4 brewery's in a ten mile radius so you can get quite the spectrum of stuff in not very far of a ride. Exit 4 off 93 and your there

I used a mix of green and white tea in an ipa with some clover honey it came out pretty good and have been meaning to make it again. Also I disagree with the bacon guy, I work for Rockingham Brewing company in NH and we have a belly of the beast imperial bacon stout and it is freakin awesome!

So basically what I did was i bottled only 2 bottles one small and one large I tried the small one after a month or so and it was terrible. I debated just dumping it but i know most people when making fruit wines age it for upwards of a year. Mine came in around 12% abv so i think it really...

Well this sounds pretty similar to what I did when messing with watermelon "wine" I did a simple 1 gal batch juiced a big ole watermelon added 2 cups of sugar added us-05 and let it do its thing. I have no idea if its good though as Im letting it sit a year :)

So working in customer service myself I appreciate good service more than some and the experience I had yesterday was unparalleled. I have ordered only one time previous from them and the thing that made me go back was their prompt delivery and top notch quality. I had ordered 2 oz of Hull...

I do a pineapple saison that uses organic pinapple juice, I freeze it in a plastic freezer bag and then add the frozen chuck into my wort at flame out. It helps cool things down real quick too. Basic brewing on youtube has a full video about it Id link it if youtube wasnt blocked at work

I help out at a local nano brewery here in NH and one of their flagships is an imperial bacon stout and I know that they use the tincture method as well. He bakes the bacon then drains the grease and jams mason jars full of bacon and adds some vodka then lets it sit for a few days to really get...
