    Lemongrass Wheat Beer?

    OK, so I'm going to take a crack at a Lemongrass Wheat Beer. Basically just going to use a NB wheat kit (this one, in particular) and fancy it up a bit. Question is this: at what point should I add the lemongrass, and how should I use it? I was thinking of cutting the stalks into 1-2" pieces...

    Bad Frog Beer Recipe?

    I remember trying a beer in Michigan many years ago called "Bad Frog Beer." I ran a search on here for the term, and the posts that reference it do not offer particularly glowing reviews. Indeed, I enjoyed it at the time, but I was also in college, so I probably would have enjoyed anything...

I'm frankly hearing a lot of conflicting info on how something should be sanitized, how long...

    Bottling Equipment

    Bought a kit a bit ago, and have our first brew hanging out in the fermenter as we speak. We'll be bottling about a week from now, but having played around with the bottling equipment that came with the kit (which is basically a siphon), I'm pretty sure we're going to want to go in a different...

    Hey from St. Louis

    Hi all, just joined up today. Some neighbors and I took a late-night idea to start brewing our own beer from the drunken musings of morons to reality when we went in on some homebrew equipment recently. Got our first batch, an IPA, hanging out in the fermenter right now, pretty psyched to see...
