Thanks Iron City. Anyone else? Im mainly wondering about the amount of Victory malt and whether or not the Caramunich is necessary. Any help is appreciated!

Thanks, that helps a lot. 1.073 is way high. Lets change it to 8 pounds like you suggested. Critique away!

Hey Folks, first shot at a recipe created from scratch. I was wondering if those more experienced would critique it. Again, it is my first attempt for an Amber Ale. Grain Bill 11 # American 2-Row 1.5 # Victory Malt .5 # CaraMunich .5 # Crystal 20-40 L Hop Schedule 1 oz...

thanks all...brew day went well!

Just about to start up my brew day brewing AHS all grain Belgian Half Wit. I just read over the directions and it looks like it calls for just a 30 minute boil. I never done anything short of 60 minutes. Has anyone brewed this beer before? Did you boil for 30 minutes only? I'm assuming...

I stir it very gently. No aeration

i havent used a wort chiller in any of my 5 or 6 all grain batches. I use the ice bath technique and it is usually cooled within 30 minutes stirred occasionally

man I even double checked to make sure I wasn't being an idiot. Oh well :)

So I've decided to finally buy some bulk hops. I was on the hops direct site and noticed that I couldn't buy a one pound package of certain types (Centennial and Columbus for example), but could for other types (cascade). I assume this mean they are out of 1 pounders for the these types, but...

I'm also on a Belgian kick and just picked up a 4 pack of Kongingshoeven Quad. It is delicious! I've never brewed a Belgian, but this beer has me considering it

Thanks guys...I am going to brew it as is...We'll see how it turns out!

Hey Everyone, looking for a little input here. For my third all grain batch I was going to give EdWorts Robust Porter a shot. Here is the recipe: 11# 2 Row 1# Chocolate Malt 1# Crystal 40 4 oz. Black Patent 1 oz. Roasted Barley 8 oz. Flaked Barley Mash at 150 degrees for 60 minutes...

Poobah, how did this recipe turn out? How was the color? I have a Strawberry Cyser that has been in primary for 1 week. Two gallon batch, approx 4 pounds honey, two pounds of frozen strawberries. OG=1.110. Gravity after 7 days is 1.012. I was expecting a nice red color but it is just the...

Thanks Ken. I have about 3.5 pounds of honey leftover from that batch so I think I will go ahead and take the longer more involved route. "...rack the stalled mead onto that new must base at a time, at two day intervals, until it's all cranking away. Add another 3 lbs of honey on the...

So I've been putting off posting about this mead for a long time, but I think the time has come. This is my second batch of mead ever and I was hoping for a sweet show mead. I made a few mistakes with this batch and need a bit of advice on how to proceed. This is approximately a 5.5...

Thanks everyone. I'm running out of time and it looks like this one is going to have to wait until after the new year. I am excited to get it going!

Thanks lightning. I don't think I want this to be super fruity so I think I'll split it up like you said with some fruit in the primary. Good to know about frozen fruit being treated the same as fresh though. Thank you!

Hi Everyone: I am going to put together my third batch of mead here shortly and want to do a blueberry or rasberry melo. I will probably be using frozen, store bought fruit and was wondering if frozen fruit needs to be treated with pectic enzyme and camden tablets in the same way that fresh...

JamesNW: I forgot to ask...Where are you getting your honey?
