roasting is not for color it is for flavor I was tired when I typed the first post the idea was on the roasting is to bring out the nutty flavor that roasting creates, the candy sugar is for the color

I don't know what those taste like but here is one that we served for the first time tonight, it is a recipe that I created after reading a lot of other recipes and brewing several other GF batches after tasting this batch on the next batch I will add some more aromatic hops and will double the...

maybe I will be lucky

Can you describe the process you used? This sounds like something I would like to try.

I'm late to this discussion but I learned something from my neighbor that works for the local water department our city water is usually a very low or no chlorine system but if they have a break they sometimes do a big dosing of chlorine carbon filters I don't think will remove dissolved...

My 17 son could brew and doesn't dislike the taste of beer so he takes interest in what went in to a batch and the taste it produces, he has said that a possible employment interest is brew master. Since he was about 13 we have taken an approach much like my parents we don't let him "drink" but...

I will check this out and do some research (taste tests) great excuse to drink more beer.

So let me ask this does the yeast make a big difference in the taste of the beer if every thing else is the same? I was sitting here thinking if the US05 is a good yeast for this beer then maybe I should go in a different direction and do a series of batches with different hops. Scientific...

The original recipe turns out a nice pale ale similar to a Geary's Pale Ale, I did a variation of this beer recently where instead of 5 gal of water I had 5 gal of Maple Sap straight from the trees in Maine frozen then transported back from my snowboarding vacation sap itself is not sweet and it...

I have a extract recipe that is pretty simple Northwestern Gold LME 6# DME 1# Nugget hops 1 oz at 50min Warrior hops .5 at 10 min So my question is what other yeast might produce good results? I'm about to do this recipe with dark LME and dark DME wondering if I should try a different yeast...

I'm in, maybe I'll get lucky this time

I talked to someone recently that is using two immersion chillers one connected to the other but the first one is in a bucket filled with ice water then it goes into the one in the kettle then out. He explained that the cooling of the wort happens quickly when you first start because there is a...

I used dark candi syrup and the results were great

I haven't been doin this for long either, but I have learned some things that might be of help to you. First as you read here sorghum crates a "twang" flavor so be prepared but with my first batch of GF beer which was for my daughter (she is the gluten sensative person in the family) when I...

When I searched maple sap there were quite a few posts found so I wanted to post my recipe and results for anyone else looking at maple sap as an ingredient. BTW Mr Bragg is the man that gave me the sap and the syrup used for priming, so hence the name. It took 9 days for firmentation to...

Play with the settings, my mom in law uses a meat grinder like your discribeing to turn dried corn into corn meal when I asked her about it she sayed she had to play with the adjustments to achieve the desired results.

I learned this the hard way......minimum 3 weeks for bottle conditioning and carbonation. I was told "patience grasshopper" by my buddy who has been brewing for a long time and it has proven true on every batch so I don't touch them for 3 weeks. Dark place and don't disturb the bottles.

I'm jealous, you defiantly scored!

Let's make this a sing the praises of the good ones..... After getting interested in brewing I never would spend the money on myself kept saying that there was things needed before brewing so she bought me a brew kit. She is not a beer drinker so she asked me if I would make her a hard cider...
