I want to make a Chai Tea beer and I was thinking maybe as a base a wheat since its summer. I was wondering what the best way to incorporate it would be. I have from teavana a loose leaf chai tea that I love. Would it be best to incorporate the loose leaf tea during boil, steep it to a...

I bet it would work well if you infused vodka with them then added the vodka either insecondary or before bottling/kegging

Does honey suckle grow as a vine? I have these vines that grow on my house and the flowers smell amazing and I think it's honey suckle. I bet it would be awesome with a wheat beer but if you put it in secondary how would you sanitize the flowers? Could you extract it with vodka?

yes but if you read my reply after the initial post I said I decided against doing the smash and using those hops instead :)

thanks for the help, I was planning on doing a smash and have 13 lbs of maris otter but got 2 ounces each of columbus, chinook, and palisade hops instead. What would be a good hop schedule for those? I was thinking columbus for bittering, chinook for flavoring and palisade for aroma, but how...

I have a black lab named chloe! I feared growing hops with her as well, but from researching it ive learned that they MAY be toxic in large amounts, and there have been so few incidents reported.

I would like to buy some hop rhizomes and start growing hops at my house. Is it too late to plant them this year? I live in New England. Any info on how to get started, when, and where to purchase them would be great

thanks! that makes me feel a whole lot better.

Last week I brewed up an IPA. The recipe is as follows: 10 lbs maris otter 1 lb crystal 20L 1 lb munich .5 oz simcoe (60 min) 1 oz ahtanum (30 min) .5 oz amarillo (30 min) .5 oz ahtanum (15 min) .5 oz amarillo (15 min) 1.5 oz simcoe (1 min) 1 oz amarillo (1 min) .5 oz ahtanum (1...

Both to try ingredients out and have a good drinkable beer. I chose summit because I've never used it before and I read that they are good for both bittering and aroma. Any suggestions on what to use instead?

oh good to know. Ive never used summit hops or the yorkshire yeast which is why I wanted to experiment. I was going off of descriptions and reviews given online

tell me what you think. Will it be good? Drinkable? 5 Gallon: 10 lbs. Belgian Pale 1 oz Summit (60 min) 1 oz Summit (30 min) 1 oz Summit (1 min) Wyeast West Yorkshire 1469

It's done and carbed, although more of a tease watching my husband drink it since I still can't! Baby is almost here! Got to have a sip though and it's good!

I'm looking for a tried and true hoppy beer recipe. I'm not necessarily looking for a clone recipe, but to get an idea I really like Lagunitas IPA and little sumpin' sumpin'.

I didn't add banana extract because when I bottled I didn't have any on hand and it's not an easy thing to find around here. Originally I wanted to used real bananas but was talked out of it at LHBS

I just bottled it last night. I tried a sip of it, and although it tastes delicious the yeast didn't give off any banana flavor. At least none that I could detect. I'm not sure what happened, because I fermented it at the higher end of the temp spectrum. My LHBS suggested I didn't use real...

I bottled my dunkelweizen! So excited to try it!!

Aryoung1980 I set the temp on the calculator in the low 60's and that's what it gave me. I know in the past, for other style beers, conditioned at the same temp, I used only 4 or 5 oz of sugar so 8 just seems ridiculously high for a dunkel

And that created the proper level of carbonation for that style beer?
