    making a mango ipa when should i add the mango??

    I do a sour mango beer https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f72/drunk-owl-mango-55227/ and the mango is just there as a hint of flavor. It will get lost in an IPA, IMHO

    Scotch/scottish brewing advice.

    I agree with GuldTuborg, I would start with enough Marris Otter or Golden Promise with 1-2% RB for the first beer (boil the first gallon down to about a pint) then you could add some crystal for the second beer and some chocolate for the third beer. That way you could get three completely...

    Corona Type Mills

    Maybe someday I will get a roller mill but for now the $10 I spent at Northern Tool (they don't carry it anymore) for my Corona type gets me 82+/-%

    Advice to new brewers

    You understand what I meant. I didn't mean one recipe, I meant one style(I could have stated it better). Looking back I enjoyed all (OK most) of my crazy brews, but I also know that if I brewed them now they would be far superior to what they were then due to the fact that I now understand the...

    Advice to new brewers

    Don't let the EACs get you down. Did you really need to toss my advice under the bus. My first brew(275 batches ago) was good enough to keep me trying also. They finally got good when I started concentrating on consistency. You may discover you could be a far better brewer if you only...

    Advice to new brewers

    I really wish that someone would have told me this 7 years ago when I started instead of having to find it out on my own The best advice I can give to any new brewer is to brew 1 good beer well repeatedly before you try to brew 100 "fancy" beers. If you can't do one well why should you make...

    Fgcu

    It was sad that 2 days after the tourament ended for FGCU that thrir coach took a job at USC...until the other day when they hired the former #1 assistant from Kansas as the new head coach. Dunk city now has a national recruiter. It should also be known that the premier High School tourament in...

    I always forget to check these pages so I'm sorry I haven't replied sooner. I use about 1% roasted barley and it does not give a roasted flavor, and I always boil down some of the first runnings for any Scottish ale no matter the strength. To me it helps give it that characteristic malty flavor...

    Thinking of brewing this.

    A stout without roasted barley is like an IPA without hops. I would do 73.7 % 7.00 British Two-row Pale 39.9 3.5 10.5 % 1.00 Roasted Barley 4.4 90.0 10.5 % 1.00 Flaked oats 4.8 0.4 5.3 % 0.50 British Crystal 135-165L 2.5 15.0 If you try and mash 4lbs of oats you better have lots of...

    Dark Owl Sweet Stout

    Somehow I haven't checked this thread in over a year, sorry. Kolsch yeast would be a good fit as it is fairly neutral. I'm glad everyone likes it and reminds me it's time to brew it again

    Wee Heavy Traq Air Owl Wee Heavy

    It is not actually caramelizing as the temperature isn't high enough but the result is the same. The first gallon of run off is boiled (concentrated) down to one pint which dramatically darkens the color and gives a , for lack of a better term, caramelized flavor that is expected in a Scottish...
