Hey guys. Today I got the idea that I wanted to brew a big beer and age it to be ready around the holidays. Here's what I've come up with so far. I don't know if it really fits into a base style, I started with the Wit that I brewed last month and added some Munich and Crystal malt to darken it...

Hey everyone. I brewed a Wit the other night that I'm pretty excited about, I think it's going to turn out pretty well. Simple recipe: 0.50 lb Rice Hulls (0.0 SRM) Adjunct 6.45 % 3.25 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 41.94 % 3.25 lb Wheat, Flaked (1.6 SRM) Grain 41.94 % 0.75...

Hey guys, feel free to refer me to a thread that discusses this if it's already been addressed somewhere. I just ordered an immersion chiller and I've seen a video where someone went ahead and put their brew pot into an ice bath while they ran the water through the chiller. So, my question is...

So I bottled my dunkelweizen today, and here's how it went: After soaking "everything" (I'll explain the quotes momentarily) in sanitizer, I poured my priming solution into my bottling bucket and racked the beer into it. I set the bottling bucket up on the counter and was about to start to...

So I popped open the fermenter and used a baster to draw out a sample of this beer yesterday, and it was absolutely delicious. This was a recipe that I pretty much came up with myself, I looked at a couple of internet recipes and then used Beersmith to sort of adapt them into my recipe. I'm...

So, for my first batch, the Belgian amber ale kit that I got at my local shop, it fermented pretty hot the first 3 or 4 days or so before somebody mentioned the words "swamp cooler" and "fermentation chamber" to me. I was thinking I would bottle it next weekend, so I thought I'd try a sample of...

So, I had a brew day today, got my dunkelweizen started. The store sells hop pellets in 1 oz increments, and they come in a vacuum packed pouch. I bought 2 packages of hops and used 1 and a quarter, so I have 3 quarters of a package left. The package wasn't cold when I got it so I don't think I...

So, I'm new to this homebrewing thing (I actually have my first batch fermenting right now), and I think one of the things that attracted me to the idea is the ability to experiment and brew some things that you can't just buy at the store. My first batch came from a kit, and from what I can...
