I’m brewing an extract Summer Ale this afternoon. During the boil the recipe calls for Paradise seeds and lemon peel to be add in Muslin bags at varying times of the boil. When cooling it says to remove hop bags. Do I remove the paradise seeds and lemon peel bags too at that time?

Priming sugar and steeped between 145 and 155.

How did this turn out? I'm trying to find a good, proven Winter Wheat recipe...

I made the Winter Warmer from Keystone Homebrew in PA, it's been bottled just under 2 weeks. I may have opened one and it's pretty righteous!

I tried the Samuel Adam's White Christmas and I thought it was a different but pleasant tasting brew. I was looking for something similar to brew. The White Christmas has the crispness of a wheat, with some subtle winter spices. OR.... does anyone have an idea for a winter brew that is...

To further clarify.... An underlying wheat beer with some of the traditional winter ale accompaniments and/or other associated flavors....

Looking for an established Winter Wheat Ale recipe. Still a newb to brewing so I'm not up to making my own recipe yet. Anyone have any to share or know of any? Help please... Oh and I have done anything with a secondary yet.... Anybody????

Absolutely fantastic...

I find that talking to people about beer and brewing, there are many people who have limited their exposure to quality beer by "not liking beer" or "only liking Miller Lite." If someone told you that they would like to have their horizons expanded in the world of beer, but "only liked Miller...

Brewed a White House Honey Ale extract kit from my LHBS. Targeted OG was 1.064 and I had an OG of 1.070 at a temp of approximately 58 F. Followed the directions, 5 gallon batch like the directions said... So WTF... I'm still new yet, so I'm always concerned when things don't come out how...

Ok, sorry for the delay... here's the recipe.... 4lb Alexander's Pale Malt Extract 3.3lb Briess Munich Extract 3/4lb Weyermann Caramunich I 48L 1/2lb Munton & Fison Carapils Malt 20L 1 1/2oz Tettnang Hop Pellets (Bittering) - 60 mins 1/2oz Tettnang Hop Pellets (Flavoring) - 10 mins...

I'll post the recipe tomorrow. I used a California Lager yeast, so it has lager qualities. Stylistically, it is not perfect, but better than that, it's perfect for my liking!

Cracked open my first bottle of Oktoberfest and it's wonderful! My third brew overall and the first one that I really hit all my marks on. Very happy brewer here.... So what to brew next...???

I'm sure there are a ton, but can anyone recommend a cool beer bar with some quality selections in NYC (Manhattan)? My girlfriend is whisking me to the city currently and I had no time to preplan!

My girls and I....

It is an extract. Will trying it hurt? This is my second brew and second one to stall 1.020... what the heck am I doing or is this truly something out of my control???

Ever use this rejuvenate the yeast to bring down the Final Gravity? I'm stalled at 1.020 for a week.

My last two brews (and first two ironically) have stalled at 1.020. This swirling you speak of, is it as simple at literally swirling the fermenter??? I'm assuming the goal is to wake up those damn yeast that fell asleep???

Very glad it worked out for you! I'm new too and learn a lot by reading the posts from other new folks...

So, I made a Munton's Nut Brown Ale extract kit. Based on the instructions on the kit, it's for a 6 gallon batch. It indicates a starting gravity of 1.040 to 1.044 and a final of less than 1.012. I brewed a 5 gallon batch based on my homebrew store's instructions and had a starting gravity of...
