I made an English IPA recently that I wasn't very happy with, so I was hoping I could get some input to avoid learning another lesson the hard way. I'm using a blend of Galaxy and Cascade with an average (blended) a.a. of 11%. My current recipe (1gallon): Canadian 2 row: 1.5 pounds...

I just finished brewing a blonde I plan to rack over 1# of strawberries per gallon. I know a lot of the sugars in the fruit will be fermented out, so I plan to use some extract at bottling time to get a fuller strawberry flavour. Will the yeast eat any sugars in the extract? Do artificial...

So I'm planning to make an American blonde ale as a base for a strawberry fruit beer. I've calculated the sugar in the fruit and punched it into my brewing software as a late sugar addition, to keep the gravity in the appropriate range. I know that virtually all sugar in fruit additions will be...

So I'm on the 9th day fermentating of a weizenbock. All-grain, 1 gallon, OG 1.088. It really kicked off on day one and now it seems I've lost some volume to krausen and flocculated yeast. It was right up to the full gallon mark when I pitched and now it's a few inches below. Doing 1 gallon...

I just finished brewing a weizenbock. I took a gravity reading before I had it topped up to a full 1 gallon so I was wondering if anyone could help me calculate my actual OG. I got a hydrometer reading of 1.100 @ 65F in 0.875 gallons of wort. I added 2 cups of water at 65F to being it up to a...

I'm about ready to brew a weizenbock inspired by Weihenstephaner Vitus. This will be my 3rd all-grain batch. I'm working off stovetop doing one gallon batches at the moment. I'm wondering if a decoction will be more trouble than it's worth for this. I handled a step mash on my lager pretty well...

Like the title says, I'm wondering if there's any homebrewers from Toronto or the GTA on here? We seem to be lacking clubs. It would be great to find more people who brew and enjoy good beer.

So I'm about to order my next batch of grains. I'm planning to do a weizenbock and hefeweizen after that. There's a lot of similar ingredients, so I figured I'd order them together and brew them consecutively. I'm wondering if I should save half the smack pack (Weihenstephan) for the second...

I'm planning to make an Irish red ale for my next (3rd) all-grain batch. I'm doing 1 gallon batches and my grain bill is 1.75 lbs of Maris otter, .25 lbs of cara-Amber 25L and 1 oz of roasted barley. I picked Wyeast British ale 1098 to keep it U.K. and for it's low ester prouduction. I'm...

Hello all! This is my first post but I've been stalking the forums for awhile. All the info has helped expand my understanding and tackle a few issues I had. So I have two all grain batches under my belt (no extract for me). I just tried the first bottle if my first batch and I'm pleasantly...
