    My 2nd All-Grain / Massive Efficiency Increase!

    Last Sunday I finally had a chance to do a 2nd all-grain recipe and I was majorly surprised by the leap in efficiency I had! I did Jamil's Beamish-Style Dry Stout recipe from the September issue of Brew magazine and instead of 75% efficiency, which is what I got on my first attempt, I got...

    1st AG - Belgian Blond!

    I am so exhausted. All went pretty well. Did a batch sparge and got just shy of 75%. I am so psyched about the color-- I have never been able to get anything this color (pale straw-- about 4.5 SRM) with extract. The only issues I had were pretty much expected. Since I have an electric...

    Question about decoction mashing

    All the literature I have read about handling grain, both for steeping and for mashing, advise that you not bring the grain to a boil or else tannins will be extracted which will cause astringency in the beer. Why don't the boil cycles of a decoction mash extract tannins?

    Anyone ever brew with bergamot?

    I have the urge for several years now to try to make sort of an Earl Grey IPA by putting bergamot in the brew. Since it is an oil I figured it would be okay in the boil (ooo, I really wasn't trying to rhyme :o ) and might cause problems if added into the secondary. If someone has tried...

    Back in the saddle-- wit homebrew!

    Today I brewed my first batch of beer in 15 years. I was a n00b then (having only made 5 batches of extract brew and one mead) and I am still a n00b, albeit a very well-read one. I decided to try to recreate a Belgian white that was my 4th batch back in the day. Because of ingredient...

    Hello from Tulsa, OK

    Hi everyone! I used to brew 15 years ago but with one thing or another (moves, wedding, kids, new jobs, etc...) I have not made time to get back into it. So far I have only delved into extract recipe beers (and one of the meads from the Papazian book- the last bottle, 13 years old, was imbibed...
