Haha sorry in should have been more specific. I'm aiming to create a beer that the main taste and aroma will be a honey green tea. So I would want it to have a very low hop profile with an earthy undertone. The blonde ale recipe I use has always turned out great so I want to use this as a...

So I plan on creating an extract beer that involves green tea. I got a couple of questions and a couple of ideas. Could I use tea that is already packaged and bagged like biggelow tea or something like that or should I be using whole leave? My plan would be to steep a fair amount of tea in...

What about the trub though?

This is the yeast I washed. I plan on using it in the next week or so. How do I go about separating the yeast from the trub and using it for a brew.

I don't know if anyone here has seen the show Brew Dogs but it one of the episodes they use water collected from the fog over the San Francisco Bay. I got the idea of snow from this.

I was thinking next time we get a snow storm here in Boston to collect the snow as it falls and use it as our water for a batch. Any thoughts?

Is there anything to be done to the pineapples before they are added to the boil or do I just toss them in?

"Budweiser makes craft beers now"

Let's hope they make it. Besides creating missiles out of the bottles will the honey have any affect on the taste of the beer?

I put them in this container with the lid on.
