For my 5 gallom batch i do every year i use one 30oz can of pumpkin pure and 1 30oz can of the prespice pie filling mix. This gives a great body and pumpkin flavor with out the spices being over powered. Just a word of advice, this type of brew is amazing after about 4 months. I brew this every...

I just got a bottle jet to clean more properly. Ill probably pick up some bleach to realy clean them out. If oxy clean doesnt work. To me this is more of principle since i have about 4 cases of 12 oz bottles and about 6 cases of 22s. The 12oz are my fault for not cleaning but the 22s were given...

Your right. The acids did nothing. Im going to give oxy clean a shot

This is just an idea but as a chemist I have access to many acids such as Nitric and Phosphoric. I too was lazy with bottles and found I have about 4 cases of 12 oz bottles with a stuck on sediment in the bottle. I tried hot water soak with Star San but the acid is too dilute to really do much...

So i juest brewed this about a week and a half ago and notice i did not cut my hops in half. So for 5.5 gallons i used 1oz instead of .5 has anyone else done this. Is it going to be overly bitter?

If i had the time i would probably give this 3 tries. Unfortunatly i only have until December 18th to get this right lol. I have been agonizing over this recipe as I want it to be as close as possible to the real thing. I would hate to have a dud for her birthday. The one thing i was...

Sounds good to me. I just want to make sure i get as close to the current available product as possible. I think im going with nilo's number 7.

Well it comes from my extract brewing that the less time you boil the malt extract, late addition, the lighter the beer is. As for body and dryness i got that from the cream of three crops recipe by biermuncher.

My favorite is when people say, "Its like a *insert beer description*-er New Castle." Also I love when peoole say they can really taste something that just isn't there. Finally I just love telling people the wrong ABV% and watch them "frunk" the whole night. Frunk was our high school term for...

I saw in another thread based off the austin homebrew recipe that they are using a 30 minute boil. Could this possibly help address the body and color issues. I have been under the impression that the longer the boil, the thinner the body, lighter color, and dryer your beer will be.

So it seems the major difference is less boil time and half the hops. Does this new recipe put the brew more in line with Blue Moon? I noticed earlier in this thread that Forrest from AHS said he could dumb it down to make it closer to the real deal. Is this what he was talking about? Forrest if...

This is for a 5gallon batch. For thoses saying the peanut flavor is hidden, this brew needs a good 4 months before drinking. You really need to let the flavors meld together. The soonest i will drink this brew is christmas time. I brewed mine octiber 5th.

Can mashing with too much water lower efficiency? Im knew to all grain and it been frustrating because i havent found any consitency.

Sorry. Phone caused double post

Hey guys as a chemist by professiin i feel like an idiot. I can not figure out the amount of water i should use for my mash and my sparge. I batch sparge. Last time i brewed with 16lb of grain. Going with a 1.33qt/lb i figured 5.2 gallons for my mash. Once i collected the first runnings i had...

Im trying to find basicly a bud type ale. What i meen is something that is higly drinkable to your everyday person, aka women, but doesnt require lagering as i dont have the equipment ti control fermentation temp.

The recipe is called chocolate covered beavr nuts. The recipe is from a homebrew association in california but i thought this would be a great halloween/ holiday brew. Its a chocolate stout with powdered peanut butter added in the secondary along with optoinal cocoa powder and cocoa nibs. Ill...

Hey guys, I just brewed a stout that i plan on adding powdered peanut butter to. I was just wondering what experience peolle have had with this as i am unsure if salted or unsalted will make a difference.
