Interesting....it actually sounds like it maybe an interesting beer. Hahahaha Oh well...so essentially you're saying it'll still be a great beer, just not what was intended.

You think there's no chance this could still turn out to be a great beer?

Thoughts?

Haha I know I sound crazy. Heres my rational: The Dead Ringer is a clone of the Bell's Two Hearted IPA. I love that IPA, however I did wish it would be closer to an Imperial level of alcohol, a bit lighter in body, and have a more pronounced hop character. From everything Ive read, what I did...

Hi everyone, Relatively new to the craft. Just brewed Northern Brewers Dead Ringer IPA kit. Its been fermenting for about 3.5 days now, and decided Id be curious to see if I can lighten it up a bit and bump up the alcohol. Spoke to a brew master that I know and he said to boil some cane...

Hey everyone, Just got my second brew into the primary fermenter. It's Northern Brewers Dead Ringer IPA which is a clone of Bell's Two Hearted Ale. I made some mistakes and want to know if Im still going to be okay... 1. I accidentally scorched a very small amount of the LME when...

Are these going to carb? Some of the caps just don't look flush and evenly spaced while others are perfectly level. Slightly worried they didn't completely seal... These bottles are all from Sierra Nevada, Lagunitas, Firestone, etc. All the stubby ones. I used the capper and caps that came...

Do you think these will carb?

Hahahaha no these pictures got flipped upside down for some reason. These bottles are all from Sierra Nevada, Lagunitas, Firestone, etc. All the stubby ones. I used the capper and caps that came with my Northern Brewer kit. Some seem perfectly flush while others are slightly SLIGHTLY at an...

anyone??

First time brew.... Just capped. Slightly crooked...worried they didn't seal and wont carb. A shake upside down shows that its not leaking but Im still worried... Thoughts? Eddie

Calder, Which recipes do you recommend for a beer like this in that time frame? My ideal taste is Delerium Tremens.

What specifically does the Candi Sugar do?

Belgian Blond Ales a good reference? Pilsner Malt, Candi Sugar, etc https://byo.com/component/k2/item/2827-belgian-blond-style-profile

Hi Everyone, I'm a first time brewer and just received my essentials starter kit from Northern. I have a major love for Belgian Strongs in the vein of Delerium Tremens. HIGH carbonation, light body, floral and citrus notes and on the higher side of the alcohol spectrum. I understand these...

For sure! My question is more along the lines of, is it possible to make a beer in this style without waiting for months? Say I decide the alcohol content isn't important to me, can I brew a similar beer faster without the strength?

What do you recommend as a good place to start for this?

Hello! First time brewer and just purchased the Northern Brewer Essentials kit. Is there a way to do a Belgian Golden Ale similar to Delirium Tremens for a beginner that doesn't take quite so long? Im not so concerned about the higher alcohol content as I am about the flavor and high...

Which Brewer's Best kit are you referring to? Their websites says there India Pale Ale is only about 6%...? Curious

I have and I still feel confused. Haha. What are a few kits you would recommend to a first time brewer that will achieve a higher ABV IPA that has citrus notes and high level of carbonation? Oh, and realistically, how long will the entire process take?
