I have already read quite a few HBT posts on this subject. I'm brewing a porter next weekend, and would like to add subtle honey flavor. I've read that using honey malt a hieves this, so I've added 4 oz to the recipe. I've also read that adding pasteurized or unpasteurized honey at the end of...

No replies necessary. Just venting.

Interested in trading 2 oz Amarillo for equivalent amount of Hallertau Mittelfruh, Liberty or Crystal. Thanks for reading.

I'm going to start buying all my grain from Brewhardware; contents of my first shopping cart : When I selected the crisp Maris, the page said it would be milled; when added to the cart this is no longer the case. Milled or unmilled? Not a dealbreaker; just curious. Ty.

This latest BPA brewed on 4/12 is the first time I've dry hopped a beer. I have the option of bottling it Saturday, 4/19, after a week, or Sunday 5/4, after 3 weeks. Will leaving the wort sit w the dry hop charge prove detrimental? Or not? Thanks to anyone willing to offer input

Have two packets of T-58 (6/24 expiration), one packet of Belle Saison (9/24 expiration) that I'd like to swap for Diamond Lager, 34/70, S04, S05, Lutra. Just about anything. Packets have been kept frozen. I fully accept and would be fine with similarly expired product, since I just used an S-04...

At Toms River Brewin g, Toms River NJ. Tried 5 oz samples of a pale lager 30 IBU (which did taste like a lager, not a pale ale), and a Kolsch 18 IBU,- lager did not taste appreciably more bitter than Kolsch (pictured). Color looked very similar, but they were clearly different beers. I'm a...

I recently acquired a Brewcraft USA Rogue Shakespeare Oatmeal Stout extract kit on Marketplace - 3 lbs Briess Brewers Gold DME, 2 lbs dark DME, 1 lb Belgian Candi sugar, 3.5 lbs steeping grains, 4 oz Cascade, Mangrove Jack WC M44 ale yeast. I am unfamiliar with the stout this recipe was cloned...

This is the recipe for what was supposed to be an Irish red - the LHBS store owner steered me away from roasted barley, toward chocolate malt for some reason. The resultant beer was nothing like an Irish red, more like a brown ale; maybe even a dark mild. Grain bill was : 5.5 lbs Crisp Maris 1...

This 8 oz jar is almost 100% full of Michter's bourbon and five vanilla beans that I split about a week ago. I am going to use some / all of it in the pumpkin ale that's currently been fermenting the same amount of time when I bottle it next Sunday - I was planning on straining it into my bucket...

Inspired by the DudeLebowski and a lot of other general discussion, I'm going to visit Treehouse Deerfield after taking my son to the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. Since it'll be a weekend with a 3-pour limit, it's likely that my family won't be there long. Any other recommendations in that...

Picked up a RAPT Pill hydrometer recently, starting setup today. Instructions say that approved santiizers are StellarSan and phosphoric acid. Just checking to see if anyone has used StarSan with their RAPT. I saw this post on Reddit, but would prefer HBT confirmation :

So my neighbor, who over the past couple years has shown the poor judgment of not just drinking but (supposedly) enjoying the beers I brew, presented me with a challenge : sweet potato pineapple holiday ale. With marshmallow, if possible. I explained my limited equipment and skillset, but he...

I've been having problems with head retention in my last couple batches, and I have leftover malted buckwheat from a porter that I (successfully) brewed earlier in the year. So I thought that I'd add it to this Oktoberfest recipe : 1 lb Deer Creek malted buckwheat 4.25 lb Maris Otter 4 lb...

The last two Faketoberfests I attempted fermented with Lutra yeast. Encouraged by the wort in my last ale, that I was able to get chilled to ~60, this year I'm going to use a real lager yeast. Since I am unlikely to reach true lager temps w my swamp cooler, what anyone recommend?

This may not be possible, and if not, understood, but....I (mistakenly) bought some Belle Saison yeast, that I don't want to waste. I am not a particular fan of Saisons, which makes this mistake perplexing, I understand, but I bought the yeast for its good response to ambient temperatures that...

I had some leftover Motueka and Rakau; hoping for some constructive critiques on the hop schedule for this recipe. Nectaron Motueka Helles / cold IPA Grain bill is : 5.75 lbs Pilsner 1.25 lbs flaked rice Hop schedule is : .6 oz Magnum preboil .6 oz Motueka @ 10 min .6 oz Rakau @ 30 .75 oz...

Overcoming massive lack of motivation (like pretty much any brewday) and mashing in on Irish Red. Have prepped pretty well, my only question is : my impression has been that my beers with roasted barley tend to be murkier than others without, using Irish Moss as a clarifying agent. So is it a...

Original grain bill : 5.75 lbs Crisp Maris .75 lbs Crystal 60 .25 lbs roasted barley LHBS had no Crystal 60, so : 5.75 lbs Crisp Maris .75 lbs Crystal 45 .25 lbs roasted barley .75 oz Fuggles @ 60 .75 oz EKG @ 30 Normally, I wouldn't be concerned, except for the fact that this Irish Red...

I have been researching this topic outside HBT for awhile, without any conclusive, definitive answer; maybe because there isn't one, but I thought that I would try here. I brewed a better-than-expected buckwheat porter that I mixed with some Mike Hot Honey, on the fly; it was quite enjoyable...
