I've been wanting to do this for a while but instead of trying to formulate a recipe I thought I'd just do this: Purchase a simple porter kit from where ever, and then add my spices and pumpkin to the brew as instructed from a pumpkin ale recipe. Will this be ok? And what type of yeast...

What are your thoughts on this grain bill? Does it sound appealing or disgusting? 8lbs Moravian Pilsner malt 4oz Brown malt 1lb Crystal 10L 2lbs Vienna WLP 051

I went to the store to purchase a vial of Irish Ale yeast for a stout recipe but it was out of stock. I instead picked up a vial of English Ale yeast. Will this work or was it a bad choice? Also, is there really a right or wrong choice? Will any style of yeast work when brewing beer?

Thank you to all who have helped me get into this hobby. I stalked this forum and youtube channels for a long time so that I could learn an all grain process. Even though I have only had one batch out of four turn out positive, I still am very much interested in this hobby; my wife included...

I brewed an Irish Red yesterday (Saturday). I'm pretty sure I know what I did wrong. I mashed in 3.3 gallons and then rinsed with 1.7 gallons. I was supposed to rinse with an extra 1.25 gallons, but I did not. I instead added the difference with clean water before I boiled to reach 6.25...

I met my temps close to where I needed them, my mash tun did not get stuck, drained into my kettle. All ready for the boil, had hops ready, and my fryer would not light. And here's the kicker, I tested it before I started my brew and it worked fine. I have a Saf-T turkey fryer with an...

I purchased a recipe kit (Cluster Fuggle IPA) from AHS. It states that there is a total grain bill of 11.25lbs and that it will make 5 gallons. When I use the formula of 1.25 quarts per pound of grain, my converter is telling me I will only receive about 3.5 gallons. Am I doing something...

I recently visited a local nutrition store and found Nutritional Yeast. Can this be used in brewing to create alcohol?

Hello! I'm new to the forum and new to brewing. By the beginning of the year (around tax time) I plan on having all of the equipment for all grain brewing. I'll be buying the starter kit from Austins Homebrewing with a second fermentor. This is a new hobbie for my wife and I. I personally...
