Hey everybody, I've been brewing all grain for 3 years now with success using the simplicity of water adjustments Yooper laid out here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=198460 That said, I've been unable to discern a simplistic water adjustment method for Hefeweizen as of...

I am glad to see Munich here as it was my first thought as well. Are there any tried and true recipes you have that include Munich? The 2 I have found are a Dunkel and Oktoberfest. Though I can't seem to locate any other standard beer types that use Munich as a large portion. Sent from my...

I'm running out of grain, looking to stock up. Plan to buy 4 big ass sacks. I have determined 3 but can't decide on a fourth. Any advice on what you think would fit best with these would be much appreciated. What would you choose? 1. 2-Row 2. Pilsner 3. Wheat 4. ? Sent from my iPhone...

I replicated this beer exactely-or so I thought. As I poured my grain in I realized I used flaked oats rather than flaked wheat. Doet! What do you guys think, will this beer be greatly different?

Hi everyone, I am looking at a beer description on New Glarus' website and do not know what O.P. is......anyone know what this is? 'At almost 20 O.P. this is the super mac daddy of Weiss beers.' http://www.newglarusbrewing.com/index.cfm/beers/ourbeers/beer/imperial-weizen Thanks!

Many times I have mashed on the night before boiling and finishing the process with full success. This time it got a bit weird. Wheat recipe- 6 lbs white wheat, 4 lb pilsner, 5 oz Acidulated. Mashed 149 for an hour, drained, sparged to 6 gallons. Finished at about 6 pm Sunday. Came back...

Which one do you guys like best and why?

Though the ad campaign is stupid, it's just marketing so I get it. --- What is really offensive to me is the taste of this beer. I am a life long Miller High Life drinker along with my home-brews, and I am always happy to keep an open mind when trying any new beer. This beer was horrid -...

Thanks everyone! I am brewing the Centennial Blonde tonight - I have S-04 or S-05 for yeast options. Which one would you go with?

What do you think? Looking for a crowd pleaser in the keg in less than 3 weeks. Anyone have a go to? Thanks!

I realize this is very simplified but of the 4 options included in the original post (below) where would a Belgian Tripel fall (pale)? How about a dubbel (darker)? For soft water beers (i.e Pils, Helles). Use half the baseline amount of calcium chloride and increase the sauermalz to 3% For...

I pitched rehydrated Windsor Ale yeast last night at about 11 PM. Wort was at approximately 72 degrees when I pitched. My garage is at about 63 degrees. When I went to check today at 11 AM there was already a large krausen and the fermometor read 74!! Normally I do not see so much activity...

Thanks very much. I'll be brewing it tonight. What method do you use for dry hopping? Straight in the carboy- or any sort of bag? I've found those first couple beers out of the tend to be rather sedimenty for the 12 I bottle before kegging.

I am thinking a pale ale - any suggestions on a hop schedule?

I went through my grain and hops today and I have a wide variety that I should get to using soon. In writing up my current inventory I thought this would be a good spot to post what I have in hopes the community can create a awesome recipe from what I have on hand. I can pick up any...

I brewed a oatmeal stout last week ( 9 lb 2 row, 1 lb Oatmeal, 12 oz chocolate, 5 oz black barley, 1 oz Fuggles FWH). I took a reading when transferring to secondary - and a taste - pretty darn good. I am now considering adding 2 oz Oak cubes to secondary - medium toast. They have also been...

I am brewing an oatmeal stout tomorrow, the two options for hops I have areUS Fuggles or US Tettnang. Anyone have an opinion on better option? Or experience with either?

Hi there all, It is getting close to lagering season in Wisconsin. I have been brewing since January and have yet to brew a lager. I have an all grain setup, and fermentation chamber with a minimum temperature of approx. 45 F. (This could likely be a bit cooler during the deep winter...

Yeah, the leaves are slightly stressed at this point. I haven't been doing the best job of ensuring I water on a consistent basis the last 2 weeks are so. It still continues to grow higher though. Thanks for all your responses!

I have a vine.....but still no cones! This is the first year, I planted 2 rizhomes and the other died. Do I need 2 to be able to cross-polinate?? Thanks for your input.
