+1 for the KISS method... I provided a few suggestions if you had the urge to tweak the flavor slightly or maybe do a few bottles different at time of bottling but overall I completely agree about staying simple, the process is not hard but its good to go through brewing a few times before...

No it does not, assuming 70% efficiency you would substiture approximately 0.56 lb's of DME or 0.68 lb's LME for 1 lb grain....extracts will create a darker color for your finished product than grain so when substiting you may want to go with some if not all light/golden LME or DME even if doing...

Yes you can make it a vanilla stout, chocolate stout, or a choc cherry stout....I am sure others will voice their opinions as well and I am fairly new to this so I do not have a ton of info, but I will say since you have gone past the boil stage your abillity to add flavor from grains is over...

Ever used brand new and sanitized panty hose as a strainer over an auto-siphon??? I have heard that alleviates a large portion of that issue but I have never tried it... I tweaked the recipe once again b/c after reading a little more I agree with you about the Carapils, I initially added it...

Thank you for your reply! One question so I am clear, I dont want the huge blowoff and dont feel like a mini mash for such minimal grains...How much Carawheat would you add? I like the suggestion, and after inputing a 6 oz addition instead of flaked wheat and barley i only had a change of 1 SRM...

Hey everyone. I would love some feedback on an Imperial IPA recipe I am trying to come up with. Up to this point all the batches I have done have been Extract Kit based, some with no changes, some I have made minimal additions to boil (agave nectar, DME, additional hops, turbinado sugar) and in...

I have my first IPA in the primary now and am definitely dry hopping it, only using 2 oz glacier pellets but want to see how it turns out. Anyone have an idea if its better to dry hop with leaf or pellet hops??? I also am thinking of doing a 2-3 hop blend for my next ipa with each hope used in...

I actually have done this exact kit, turned out fairly good. Basically a Guiness clone, but it was only my second batch so I stuck to the recipe, now of course because I always wonder what could have changed or I could have done better. After brewing 5 batches 2 of which I have greatly changed...

Hey everyone, I am new to the brewing scene (2 batches so far, both extract kits from Midwest), but am looking to do a little something extra on the 3rd kit. I want to move into partial mash and then all grain but want to get the kinks out before shelling out a ton of money on mills and kegging...
