The whole point of this website seems to be for increasing and sharing knowledge. It's unfortunate that some users get frustrated in the Beginners Beer Brewing Forum. Thankfully not everyone of the experienced folks are easily annoyed by those of us with less experience. Thanks beeropotomus...

Thanks for the input. Again, not worried about it, just thought the beer was a little overpowering on the grapefruit. I agree that commercial S.N.P.A is citrusy just not to the degree that I created (not even close) so thought that there was a chance that I may have screwed something up or...

Check out Deathbrewer's easy partial mash thread. I used this for my last brew- Turkish Coffee Stout- a partial mash kit from Austin Home Brew Supply. Its got pics and a very simple how to https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/easy-partial-mash-brewing-pics-75231/ You said you were wanting to not...

Here's the recipe: 4 oz Crystal 60 6.5 lb light DME 1/4 lb Malto-dextrin 1 oz Nugget 8.5% bittering 1/2 oz Perle Flavor @ 15min 1 oz Cascade @ 1min 1/2 oz Cascade Dry hop ( I used 1 oz whole leaf)

My first batch of beer is now 5 weeks conditioned in the bottle. I made a Sierra Nev. Pale clone using the recip. in Clone Brews. The beer is not bad tasting per say and just to be clear, I'm not worried, but it has an unbelievably strong citrus/grapefruit taste to it. I'm curious if it's...

Killer. I'll stay tuned!

Cool experiment. Thanks for adding the photo. Wish I would have got in on the testing panel.

Tried my first one today. 10 days in the bottle, under-carbonated and excellent. I will make this one again.

Order up some starsan from one of the many online suppliers. Mix up a small batch in a bucket. Get yourself a regular old spray bottle and fill it with starsan solution. Give each bottle 5 or 6 squirts and then dunk the neck of the bottle in the starsan bucket. Put the bottle on your bottle...

As a former tobacco lover I sympathize with those who can still enjoy their delicious lung snacks. I was a fiend, so it didn't work for me... had to quit. Since then they have banned smoking in clubs in Utah. I don't miss it a bit. Smoking does help with loitering but I think you guys have...

I bought my RO system at Costco. It's been a couple of years since it was purchased so I don't remember the cost. I do remember it was a bit cheaper than some other systems that we looked into. It has 2.5gal storage tank under the sink that you pressurize with a couple of strokes from a bike...

Check out Austin Home Brew Supply. They have tons of recipe kits. They offer most of them in All Grain, Partial Mash, and Extract. Shipping is cheap. I just ordered a Turkish Coffee Stout partial mash kit from them. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

Just wanted to bump this one back on the radar. I just made my first batch of Dark Amber and probably wouldn't have done it without the help of this thread. Thanks to all for the info on this one. Can't wait to make my Belgian on Monday!!!

Just racked this one to the secondary at 2 weeks. Tastes awesome.

Awesome! Thank you.

I'm more concerned with fermentor time than bottle time. With limited fermenting space just a little hesitant to tie up one of them for two months or more this time of year. I would be stoked if you were willing to pass along the recipes in extract form. Thanks a ton for your help.

The Belgians sound excellent. What are the fermenting time frames on those?

I have been given 9Lbs of german pils LME that has been sitting around for a while. I don't have the capability to ferment much lower than 70º. Looking for recipe ideas that I can use this LME in. Thanks all

I understand that the LME is going to be less than it could be at best but since I didn't pay for it, I should use it if possible. I was hoping to make a batch of beer for half price and get lucky enough for it to actually taste good. Any ale recipe suggestions that use german pils LME?

I'm not sure exactly how old the kit is. I do know that it's over 1 year. The kit has been sealed in a plastic bag until now. I wanted to keep it sealed up until I figured out what to do with it but I decided to see if I could find a date on any of the ingredients. In doing this I realized...
