Cool. Thanks. I don't have Victory, but I do have some caraaroma. Would that work (maybe 4oz)? I would have to make some slight adjustments to the other specialty grains.

This is the new recipe. Here's the old 4.25 lbs Provenance Pale (2row) 4.25lbs Pilsner .5lb toasted 2row .5lb caramunich II .25lb Cararoma .25lb Carared .125 Chocolate .33 oz Warrior at 60 .5oz Liberty at 15,10 and 5 Wyeast Scottish Ale Yeast I guess with toasted, I was going for a...

Hi All - I am trying to improve an amber ale recipe I did last year that people liked, but it was a little light on body and hops. Here's what I am thinking: 9.33lbs of Briess Organic 2 Row 8oz Toasted 2 Row (350 degrees for 15 minutes) 9oz CaraMunich II 5oz Honey Malt 6oz Caramel 10L...

Thanks all - I just did not want it to add too much color, I was just hoping for some slight breadiness and a little body.

Hey all - I am looking at doing an APA (New England IPA) and was not sure if I should use a little munich malt or not. Here's what I am thinking: 5gal batch - 11.33 lbs or Briess Organic 2-Row 1.5 lbs of Flaked Oats 4oz of Light Munich (8 Lovibond) 8oz Raw Cane Sugar Hop...

Thanks - That's where I am getting them from. "Northern latitudes" is just a bit vague. I figure, latitude-wise, I am 2 hours north of their lat, so I'll give it a shot.

I don't mind spending money....I said I did not want to waste money if they will have trouble growing this far north. I will be eventually taking off the rhizomes (none have shown yet) - I am just very cautious as it took three tries to get plants to take.

Has anyone tried to grow these? I am getting ready to place my crown order and am looking for something a little different. I currently have the following plants going: (1) Tettnanger, (1) Chinook, and (2) NB. I am getting one more each of the Tettnanger and Chinook, along with a cascade. I...

I am looking at buying some 1lb packages of hops (on sale) - Also have four plants that I started from crowns last year (1 chinook, 2 NB,and 1 Tett) and planting 4 more this year. Yeast is a little tough as I got hooked on the liquid

I am kind of all over the board. We like APA's the most, followed by Belgian, and I brew one to two lagers a year. I was figuring I would keep 10-20# of MO Crisp in the pantry just in case.

Hey all - looking to start up a pantry and want to have 3 types of base grain that I buy in bulk. I brew a lot of pale ales, ambers, and saisons; so I was thinking 2 row, pilsner, and Vienna. Then keeping 10 lbs of wheat and MO Crisp on hand. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the feedback guys. I spread the grains out and there were no un-crushed grains, so I think I'll mark the spacing and see what a little tighter may do. Definitely will be doing the mods and getting something figured out to control the dust and hulls from flying everywhere. I am...

Just wondering if I could get some opinions on the first run crushing of the new mill (Corona style for $25!) I haven't done any mods to it yet, but have never crushed my own, so I was hoping for some feedback or pointers. Thanks!

Thanks for the input. The hops are fairly mellow(5% AA), just a nice little "spice" to it. The caramel and toasty notes really dominate (not sure if the double decoction lent that to it or not). All-in-all, I am really pleased no matter what it is.

So I brewed my first lager, and we poured one after a week in the bottle, and it's tasty; however, I am not sure what it could be classified as. Receipe as follows: 6.5 gallon 8 lbs Pilsner 2 lbs Munich Light 1/2 lb Caramunich 50L 1/2 lb Aromatic 3oz of Tettnanger (1oz @ 60...

Thanks to all for the replies, it's why I love this site. I realize the whole B-Brite is not a sanitizer argument, but I have never had a problem with any infections or anything after letting everything soak for a minimum of 30 minutes. I figured we always used it on glasses at the bar I...

So I made a couple of mistakes when brewing my first lager (AG) last night. I went a little too late into the night and when I was moving my chilled wort from the kettle to my primary, I forgot to completely rinse the B-Brite from my primary. Will this affect the finished product? (Instead...

Hi all - This site has been a life-saver for me so far. I just started about 6 months ago and am hooked. I am going onto my 6th batch, which will be my 3rd attempt at an IPA (the first, I toasted 1lb of crystal too long and ended up with a good Brown Ale, the second ended up not being super...
