Looking at brewing the recipe from http://www.greatfermentations.com/apple-ale-recipe/ and was wondering if anybody has tried it and has any input. I have already picked up the grains and will be getting the cider today and brewing tomorrow. Only changes I'm making are using just El Dorado...

I've been brewing for about 3.5-4 yrs and brew many different styles. Before getting into homebrewing I enjoyed commercials saisons and figured it would be a style i brewed more of than anything else. Fast forward to now and I believe I have made 4 saisons, I was happy with all of them but...

I've been looking for a Pale Ale, or NZ IPA, that's predominately Lemon/Lime flavor. Doesn't have to be overpowering on the lemon and lime, but I'd like those to stick out the most. Also, not looking for any bracing bitterness from what I've read most NZ hops don't give that anyway. I've also...

Hopefully this is the right section for this... We moved into a new house back in August, since then I have made 4 beers, a Pumpkin Stout, Black IPA, a Christmas Ale (Belgian), and a Vanilla Porter. Up till moving I had around 35 batches under my belt and had always used tap water and never...

Looking for a recipe or two to celebrate selling our house and moving into a new one. The brews need to be able to turn around in a couple months as we'll consume them the week of Aug 20 -27th while on vacation in the Outer Banks. I was thinking of a cherry tripel or saison, maybe use sour...

I'm looking at moving into a new house this year and will have a lot more space for brewing and space for a kegging so I'm looking for ideas on being practical in moving to traditional all grain and kegging I did 3 batches of extract brewing when I started in a 5 gal kettle, then moved to...

I currently have 4 bottles, one from each of the last fours years, and will be getting one from this year next month. I have been saving them for when my brother and his wife are home for Christmas and this year they're coming out for Thanksgiving, close enough :) So, I'm planning to do a...

I bought all the ingredients to make Stone's Vertical Epic 06.06.06 today, planning to brew tomorrow or Sunday. When getting the grains I had Dark Wheat written down, but LHBS didn't have that, at least not that I could find. I googled quickly from my phone and couldn't find any info so I...

Sorry if this has been asked/answered I couldn't find anything quite like this. My last couple batches, a Belgian Pale and Yooper's Oatmeal Stout. When I open the bottles, some have been in the fridge for 2 weeks+ I'm getting a lot of foam. If I start to pour quickly the amount of foam is...

I just "made" my first cider about 3 weeks ago and bottled this past weekend, I started out with 3 gallons of juice. I added some Black Cherry juice to half and the other half I kept straight cider. I used plain store brand (Wegmans) 100% Apple Juice and R.W Knudson Black Cherry juice. I also...

I found the following recipe and am really thinking of brewing it, but would like some feedback as to how the blackberry/blueberry would be showing up. My only thought is that it would be an intriguing interaction between the yeast, midnight wheat and saaz. Also, to me this would be better to...

Has anybody tried harvesting yeast from the traveler beer co. I was going to email them and ask if it was viable but wanted to throw it out here quickly. I know they're a spin off from Sam Adams and Sam's has typically filtered or used different bottling yeast, so I wonder if they'll be...

Ok, I've searched and this question has more or less been asked and answered in a few round about ways, so just looking for very direct answer. I'm planning to make an Imperial Stout this weekend, OG 1.110, and have about 200ml from a previous porter that I washed Jan 26th. The yeast is...
