I asked Wayne Wambles of Cigar city about Marshal Zhukov along time ago. It's hunaphus base beer it has It has roasted barley, black patent, chocolate malt, C60L, C120L and two row. He didn't specify what hops are used or anything like that. Not even ratios of grain :-(. I know that cigar city...

Your help was greatly appreciated too dave, I am grateful for all the help!

I appreciate all the advice, bobbrews, I am probably going to do what you say and use that. I hope I win the competition. I like the piney/resiny ipa's but I really like the tropical fruit kinds. I also am obsessed with uncommon hop varieties. Only problem is I have to order most of them offline...

I am entering an IPA into a local competition, I ordered all my ingredients I want to use but I haven't figured out the timing im going to add the hops during the boil.. 15 # 2 Row 1 # Crystal 40 1/2 # Carafoam 1/2 # Melanoidin Hops I have on hand that I just ordered 2 oz Citra...

Thanks Yooper, I may just get some biscuit malt milled and add that along with another oz of hallertau for the aroma addition.

Have an extra malt bill that was sent from northern brewer (the first one was crushed poorly) 7.5 lbs 6 row 0.5 lb Carapils 1 lb Flaked maize The ingredients above cant be changed, dont really want to make this a lager again. I have 1 oz of German hallertau in my fridge and some...

Fermenting at 54 this morning its back to a steady bubble

I did my first lager this past sunday. Didnt really aerate the wort, rehydrated a packet of s23 and sat it in the fridge until it cooled and pitched that into my 50 degree wort. I read this forum quite a bit and got worried that I underpitched. 24 hours later I came home from my LHBS with...

:( I dry hopped an IPA I made without a bag (pellet hops) in the secondary and transferred that to my corny keg and I have a lot of sediment coming of the tap. It isnt cold yet, will it settle out a couple days in the cold fridge (30 F) or should I just get used to drinking this hop...

Here is the finished product, the beer is way to hoppy and way darker than a blonde so I call it a lemon pale ale now, changed the recipe and instead of sorachi for aroma i moved them to 30 mins. I put lemon zest in the boil at 30 mins and lemon zest and peel with some pulp attached at 10 mins...

My real question is do you think the beer will become cold enough in the 30 degree fridge?

I plan on doing my first lager (Northern Brewer Pre prohibition lager) I have a chest freezer with a temp controller that I use for my fermentations, but I am wondering if I can use my refrigerator for the secondary lagering phase. I put a thermometer in my kegerator fridge and the ambient temp...

My wife wanted to enter a beer competition and wanted a beer that had limoncello like characteristics. Went to my local hb store and bought the grist and combined it all in a bag. Recipe is as follows 10 pounds 2 row 1 # crystal 10 1/2 # gambrinus honey malt 6 oz carapils Hops 1 oz...

All Grain brewing is confusing. It says use 1.25 quarts of water per pound of grain you're using for strike water. I am using 10.5 pounds of grain for my recipe (using a kit for my first AG batch) which is roughly 3.28 gallons of water. Then for sparge you use 1/2 gallon of water per pound of...

My wife wants me to make a beer that light in color and tastes like limoncello. I am sure I will get a mash tun and stuff for all grain brewing for christmas and I am planning on trying this for my first AG batch. I have done some reading and it seems like I am going to take the lemon zest at...

This is possible. But I did shake the hell out of the fermentor when I added my top off water. But it may just be difficult to mix.

Brewed the northern brewer bc extract kit today and my of was only 1.036. I am pretty sure I did everything right this kit uses less LME than others and I'm very dissatisfied. I checked this 1 hour after I pitched the yeast because I forgot to do it initially. The o.g. was checked with a...

My friend made a raspberry stout with that extract and its not very good that medicinal taste is overbearing and it really sticks around in the glass you were drinking it out of

I am new to homebrewing. I want to make my priming sugar solution tonight so I dont have to do it tomorrow because I want to be able to get a head start on bottling my midwest pumpkin ale. Is it okay to make it in advance? And should I just sanitize a tupperware container and pour the cooled...
