I was looking for a roasted, nutty flavor. However, you aren't the only one who suggested this. If I remove the RB, should I increase the biscuit and chocolate malts?

OK, I know I've gone back and forth with this recipe (see previous posts!). However, I think I've got it. Please tell me what you think. HONEY NUT BROWN ALE Target OG: 1.049-57 (a little high for an English Brown but not by much) Target FG: 1.014-16 Estimated IBUs: 26.5 SRM: 25...

Thanks fellas. I've tweaked the recipe with your advice to look like this instead. What do you think? Honey Nut Brown Ale Target OG: 1.040-52 Target FG: 1.008-13 IBUs: 20-35 Grains: Crystal Malt 80L 1/2 lb Chocolate malt 1/2 lb Honey malt 1/2 lb Fermentables: Munton's...

Here's a partial mash recipe (5 gallon batch) I concocted. I appreciate any feedback - positive or negative. I am contemplating adding honey malt (1 lb) and also either maple syrup or maple extract. Do you think this would be overkill? Grains to be steeped at 155 degrees F for 30 min then...

I had some feedback on another home brew website and I've decided to use honey malt instead of regular honey. Any suggestions about adding maple syrup and if so, how much for a 5 gallon batch? I was thinking about adding it to the secondary after boiling in water for 10 to 15 minutes.

I'm thinking about brewing a honey maple English brown ale. Do you think this is overkill? Should I stick with either honey or maple and not both?

Can anyone suggest where to purchase a refrigerator temperature controller for less than $50? I want to brew my first Marzen/Oktoberfest in the next week or two. If I can't find one for the right price, does anyone know how 'warm' I can make a standard home refrigerator?

Not much was lost. Boilover happened before hops were put in. OG was 1.050 - in range for an English bitter. Active fermentation looks good. Thanks for the help.

I had my first boilover while brewing an English bitter. What are the consequences?

So if 2 tsp of Irish Moss is being added to the last 20 min of the boil, it should be added when the 2nd round of Goldings and the 1st round of Fuggles are added, correct?

Thank you for the quick response.

I will be brewing an ESB this weekend. My hop sequence is as follows: 1.50 oz Goldings, East Kent [5.50 %] (60 min) (First Wort Hop) Hops 30.4 IBU 0.25 oz Fuggles [4.00 %] (20 min) Hops 2.0 IBU 0.25 oz Goldings, East Kent [5.50 %] (20 min) Hops 2.8 IBU 0.25 oz Fuggles [4.00 %] (0 min)...

Isn't it for syrup extracts, you add 0.75 pound for every pound of grain removed? And for dry extracts, you need 0.6 pound for every pound of grain?

Looks good Lars! I hope mine comes out looking like that!!!

Donner, to be honest with you, I was thinking about going that route with the Crystal malt. It should be easy enough even for a novice like myself!

I won't affect carbonation though?

Does anyone have a good all-extract ESB recipe that they could share? I couldn't find one in the recipe section.

Thanks fellas. I wasn't sure if it was the priming sugar at the bottom or not.

I brewed a coffee milk/sweet stout and used corn sugar for priming. It has been one week since bottling and there is some sediment at the bottom of all the Grolsch swing top bottles I used. Would it be bad to 'stir' them up a bit by gently shaking them? How would this effect the carbonation?

I did brew with lactose. I've decided to wait a full three weeks, so I'll be bottling on Thursday instead of Tuesday this week.
