So Im brewing a black IPA or Hoppy porter, or RIS, whatever you want to call it. But heres what I've come up with. Where I'm looking for the most input is on my hop schedule. I feel I may have gone overboard with 10 oz. of hops, but I want it to be roasty and very hoppy, so please give me some...

So Im brewing a breakfast stout that calls for 2oz of coffee grounds at flameout. I dont wanna add grounds, but I'd rather add cold brewed coffee. So my question is how much coffee should i add? ps - I'm using keurig cups, and i think each cup has about .5 oz of coffee in them. Should I brew...

I've seen a couple answers about this, but my question is, I'm brewing an Imperial Stout. Most recipes call for Light Extract, but I have some extra Dark extract. Why not use it? Especially in an Imperial Stout. Does it have to do with fermentables?

I brewed my True Brew Porter extract kit on 1-1-13. I posted in another thread about my 85 degree yeast pitch (too high I know). Anyways, my OG was 1.044, and I had excellent activity within 24 hours. But since then, no visible signs of fermentation, and I've been at 1.020 for over a week now...

I just brewed a Porter on Jan 1, and this being my 4th batch took waaaaaaay longer to cool. Almost 2 hours of waiting for wort to drop, using ice baths. Anyways, I had to leave for the evening, so instead of leaving the wort to sit, I figured I was better off pitching the yeast which at this...

I'm going to be brewing a porter from a True Brew extract kit. I'd like to substitute the can of dark LME with more DME, suggestions on what and how much I should get at my LHBS. I like a nice roasty robust porter, so any other helpful tips are appreciated.

I brewed an Irish Stout from an extract kit on 12-7-12. It began fementing the next morning, and was a very short "bubbling" time. Haven't seen any action for 16 days. I was gonna go with a 3 week primary fermentation time, then straight to bottle, but I'm kinda anxious to bottle tomorrow...

I can't believe I did it, but I added the DME into the muslin bag with the grains and steeped for 20 minutes. It's been a while since I brewed, I can't believe I did this. Is this gonna be a big deal in the end?
