Thanks. 1.5 oz. fresh per gallon. Will give it a whirl!

Anyone have tips on this? I made a batch with Orange Blossom honey and was delicious. I want to make this same with ginger. Never used it in brewing... Any suggestions? fresh, candied, granulated, etc. Thanks for any replies! Candied would seem the most favorable, but please enlighten me...

I'm having an Alaskan Winter Ale right about mmmm now. Like their product. Maybe a little biased being a resident.

Tpr!

I am in the secondary of my first Espresso Porter. I took the advice of an accomplished brewer and added 4 cups of whole bean coffee to the carboy after the initial clearing of the primary. He recommended that I crack, not grind, the beans. I did so and got a great acidic reaction for a few...

Yes, doing a middle east tour. Thinking of calling it Post Tour Porter.

One more question, if I may.... A year shelf life is okay for porter, correct? I'm leaving country for a year and am brewing this to come home to. They will be residing in a dark, 68 degree closet.

The recipe I am following now calls for adding whole coffee beans in the secondary. If I were to follow the experienced brewers methodology, I would assume popping off my stopper/airlock, taking a hydrometer reading, adding coffee beans, and re-attach stopper/airlock. Am I trackin'? ...

Allrighty! Thanks...

I brewed my first porter, which consisted of brown sugar (1# for 5 gal.) After the cold break I took my first hydrometer reading which hit 1.056... which is great. I sampled the hydrometer jar brew and it was quite sweet. Is this normal? Sugar = sweet, I know. But it seemed a little over the...

Sweet... thank you, Justibone! $7.99 flat rate shipping is good deal, too. Especially being 4000 miles from my hometown... Austin.

Thanks, Justibone! Ironically, I am from Austin and lived less than ten minutes away. Didn't brew at the time. Now I live 4000 miles away

I'm looking for a Porter, Stout, Barley Wine that can take a year of shelving. I need to brew soon and I don't have all grain capabilities, yet. I have until late January to get something bottled. I leave country for a year and want a good homebrew to come home to. Anybody got a good, beginner...
