Any recommendations on a pineapple jalapeno beer recipe? my searches only come back with pineapple beers and jalapeno beers but none that have both.

So first all grain attempt and I messed up. When I used an online water calculator I put in 5 gallon boil instead of 6.5 gallon. Needless to say after boil I only had about 3.5 to 4 gallons and some really green looking beer. My question is can I just add water to the fermentation bucket to get...

So I bottled my Belgain Dubbel and after about a month, it is still flat. I was thinking of just emptying the bottles in a keg. Will this work or is this just a newbie dumb idea?

I am looking for an extract recipe for a chocolate peanut butter stout. A few months ago I got to try one called the Big Grusome by Spring House. It was basicly a reese peanut butter cup in a glass. Anybody else ever have it or have an idea of how to make it?

Let me start off by saying this is only my second homebrew. I bought a brewers best wheat beer kit and had a big bag of frozen blueberrys in the freezer so I figured why not add them. I had the wheat beer in the primary for 5 days. I dumped the frozen blueberry in the bottom of my carboy and...
