I've got some pretty decent plans to brew this weekend. I have 3 batches all prepped to go atm: 1) AG BIAB - White IPA with Cascade, Summer, and Amarillo hops. 2) AG BIAB - APA with Summer and Denali hops 3) The rest of my extract and some hops I have left from other batches (Experimental...

I've cut up magnet sheets so my stickers are able to be moved around or replaced easily!

If I had a few extra hours in the day, I'd brew everyday lol. I had actually switched my schedule around at the liquor store I manage at so I could have Sunday off for my birthday! I probably won't get another chance to brew until next Monday now. I do have 4 fermenters rocking in my room...

I ended up making this beer yesterday. I went and bought 2lbs of 2row Brewers Malt from Briess and my first ever mash ended up with 82% efficiency! I had a few snafus and had to change my equipment expectations (water levels etc) and my PH got a little low (down to 5.0) but all in all it seemed...

With this equation in mind, would using 2 pounds of 2 row be to much linter for my mash? I'm sorry if this is a noob question, but the mash and all its allure is something I've stepped lightly around with my studies until I felt ready.

43% is a bit ubsurd isn't it? I think I remember reading somewhere, for an all grain batch, the base malt should be about 80%. I dont have the space for all grain in my little apartment, but I think I can swing a partial mash with my stove for sparge water and my electric burner for the mash to...

That's an excellent thing to keep in mind! I'll definitely take note of that ratio in the future.

Thanks for the feedback. I've mostly made IPAs and lighter pales, but I have a few extra grains from doing clones of Celebration Ale and an Irish Red. I figured I'd give a creamy/toffee porter a try. I can't wait to see what turns out!

I suppose if I'm going to go to my LHBS anyway, I should just get some 2-row and try my first partial mash instead of more extract. What's a good guide for how many pounds of grain my mini mash should be compared to total batch size? I'm thinking somewhere between 2-2.5lbs and 2lbs (or 1lb14.4oz...

The only ingredient that got cut was the yeast. I typically use closer to 8oz, up to a pound of specialty grain in my extract batches. When I switched from Extract to partial mash option in Beersmith its said I was still getting more sugars than just an extract batch, but I was hesitant since I...

Sorry, I should have specified that it's going to be a 2.5gal batch. I was concerned that this might be to many specialty grains, even with the longer steep time and using more water to spare with. Perhaps I'll save my first partial mash for another weekend.

So I've decided to use up some of my extra grains I have laying around. This is gonna be my first ever Partial Grain (even tho I'm not using any basemalts) and my first ever Porter. According to beersmith, my recipe seems sound enough, I was just curious if anyone had any pointers on replacing...

I don't know the exact details of how they pulled it off, but a local brewery near me (Triptych Brewing) did a Trix cereal beer recently with lactose sugars etc.. It was a ridiculous hit in my town!

Does this kit come with LME's inside? And if so, how many and are they the same kind? I'd like to split this into 2.5gal batches

When one has had bad experiences with extract twang, do you recall the liquid itself being off colored aka dark even tho it was briess golden etc?
