thats really interesting about hop utilization, I actually heard the same thing said on another forum. They basically said that adding the hops into straight water actually allows more polyphenols and other things to be extracted from the hops, so essentially you can get more bang for your buck...

Buy milled grains! ?!?! But i have perfectly good preservative free granola bars lol. i have 700 grams of granola bars and they expire this month, now how could i knowingly throw out food AND beer ingridients! One of the main ingrdients is actually barley extract so i will see what comes of...

No. No grains. This is an experiment. My other batch will have granola bar grains. But im just worried about the order im putting my ingridients in. like should the malt go before the hops and can the hops be boiled first in just water.

Iv noticed there are alot of variations and different ways to go about boiling wort and i thought you could share your advice and techniques here. i have a simple recipe and i would like to do it right my first time. So far this is how i plan on doing it. It is for a 4.5 liter batch...

Okay so iv been talking to some ppl about my recipe im doing and some are saying to add more grains and more malt because they think i need more to achieve a 5% alcohol beer. i feel like im doing the calculation right so maybe we can discuss if i fudged up and what is the proper way to figure...

I'd also like to stretch my hops out as much as possible because I only got 1 oz of cascade sterling hops to work with , thats it. I went to the lhbs twice now in the past 24 hrs and im not goin back again anytime soon. lol Its not really that local of a store to where i live. Is there a good...

Interesting, your the first person to say good things about water and hop method. I looked else where and found people not having any luck with it, one guy had this to say "Grassy /hay flavors come from myrcene and other hop oils will boil off after a while. Boiling hops in wort will...

okay your saying steep the grains 40-45 min , then add malt and hops and then I was going to boil them for another 60min, that way I get the bitterness out of the hops, does that sound about right? When people talk about boiling the hops should I really give a good 212F boil? I just ask because...

Okay. iv been doin more reading and heard that you cant just boil the hops in water like i intended to do. apparently you have to have sugars present for the isomerization of the hops to occur. is this true? if so ill have to add some malt or mollases to the boil. and yea i decided you ppl...

Hello I am a fellow fermentationist and I am having a brewing dilemma. The other day I was in my cupboards and noticed that I had a box of granola bars and they expire this month, I looked at the ingredients and noticed Barley malt extract, also it contains whole grain rolled oats and other...

thanks for all the feedback we actually took half our empties to the beer store and got 73$ lol not too bad i think, it helps that we had a big new years party with friends, lots of empties to add to the collection. Anyways rite after that we went to the lcbo, since some of your mentioned LCBO...

thanks guys these sites look great, I have been talking to other people on another forum and they have good advice too. The one person mentions how the LCBO is better for craft beer and that the beer store is actually owned by the big breweries and that they dont offer much good craft beers...

Hello everybody, I am a fellow home brewer and have been enjoying my time fermenting many things, Iv made wine and beers and even meads. I enjoy it so much I try to absorb relevant information everywhere I can and I get alot of beer info from James spencers podcast Basic Brewing radio/video...

I just came across this information well i was reading searching for info about oxidized wine, and I thought it may be relevant here to beer as well. What do yall think ? Acetaldehyde Acetaldehyde is an intermediate product of yeast fermentation; however, it is more commonly associated with...

white chocolate... weird never heard of such a brew! I can still remember being a kid on easter morning and chowing down on a white chocolate easter bunny :cross: Probably not something I would put in my brew lol I was reading a health website about chocolate and they mentioned about...

When I began home brewing I realized sanitization is the biggest thing in this hobby so it made sense to me to see both sides of the story. So I began researching about sanitary brewing on the internet and the majority if not all of websites are about buying and using such and such chemical and...

Oh okay that makes sense. well i guess this is a steam beer now! Im excited to try it too. but isnt a FG of 1.009 fairly high for a lager? What is a typical FG of a lager supposed to be at? i know they ferment dry, but how dry? Im just wondering how close this coopers was to being done...
