I used to have a good hefeweizen recipe on hand but seem to have lost it. So, I decided to design my own. Let me know what you all think. I used Saaz hops because I had a spare ounce lying around that I wanted to use up. Also, I typically like using the Weihenstephen yeast so next time around...

Haven't posted here in a while but that's because I've been hard at work with my mancave so I thought I would share because it's almost complete! Just finished my keezer and happy to announce that I have operational taps! Really been wanting to do this home bar for a while and now it's finally...

So I've now finally gotten most things together to build my keezer. A while back I found a junky HUGE chest freezer that I could use for my keezer and I got it for free so I figured I would just use all the 22 cu. ft. space it had and have a LOT of taps (10 to be exact) on my home bar. Today I...

Found some Peanut Butter flavoring at my LHBS and figured I would use it as I LOVE peanut butter (who doesn't?). I've had chocolate peanut butter stouts before and have not been too impressed yet so thought I would try a PB&J Stout. I just put together this recipe today. My intent was to have...

Brewing my usualy Chocolate Raspberry Stout today and the typical yeast I use (Wyeast London Ale) isn't available at my LHBS anymore. In fact all my local LHBS's only carry dry yeast now. I have both Nottingham and Windsor in my stock and was wondering which would be better for this type of...

Had some Huckleberry ice cream last week and thought that it would really taste good in a stout. Thinking about brewing this but just worried about finishing it in time before I deploy. Anyone have any experience using these in a brew? How much should I use? There's a place up here in Alaska...

So I decided yesterday to brew two batches (a Wit and a hefeweizen). My girlfriend just recently moved in with me and has helped to brew one batch previously (not including the two we did yesterday). So yesterday we were starting to brew and she said that anything I needed cleaned to just give...

Well i've been on this forum for a while but just recently moved (got stationed) up here in Fairbanks/ North Pole area. Anyone else up here in the area and are there any good HB shops around?

I have a bunch of leftovers to get rid of before i leave here in Sep to get stationed in Germany. I was thinking about brewing something up but figure i would check on here for suggestions. I was thinking about maybe an IPA or IIPA, Belgian, or saison although i have a few grains that i would...

Well, i've found myself in a brewing frenzy lately trying to get all my grain used up before I get stationed elsewhere (hopefully Germany) in about 4 months so i'm coming up with all kinds of things to brew. I also have a crap load of hops in the freezer so i'm also thinking a IIPA is in order...

Well on saturday i made EdWort's Bavarian Hefeweizen and used some Weihenstephen yeast i had in the fridge that had been there for a while. Well, two days later i have NO signs of fermentation whatsoever (been brewing for a little while and never seen it take this long) and think the yeast was...

I got an AG kit from Midwest a while back that included the 7.5 gal MLT and HLT with a sparge arm. Well after only a few AG batches i have seen differing opinions on the ratio of water to grain to use for the initial mash. How to brew states 2 quarts per lb whereas a lot of other places state...

Well, i found this Imperial porter clone recipe (flying dog gonzo porter) that i want to do and started weighing out my grain the other night just to have it ready for hopefully tomorrow to brew. I've already mixed the grain but found out i used 15 lbs of 2 row instead of the 15 lbs of Pils it...

Well, i wanted to brew a second batch this weekend to get caught up on all the ones planned (planned too much for the winter and trying to get all my winter time brews finished) so i decided to brew a chocolate raspberry stout again. This time i decided to assemble the ingredients from scratch...

Well i have a lot of plans coming up for some batches to brew and one i wanted to do was this excellent porter i had when i went to the Flying dog brewery a few months ago. I found a clone recipe that i wanted to do however i also got a wild idea for a little twist. Something i have never tried...

I got some specialty grains this past weekend. Mainly i want to try to brew another Chocolate Raspberry Stout again this winter. I was using my recipe sheet from the same recipe i made from AHS several times before and it calls for Premiant hops. When i went to my LHBS to get those hops they had...

For my second attempt at recipe design i thought i would try a simple beer like a hefeweizen (my brother was begging me for another after i brewed the AHS hefeweizen for his bday and he loved it). I tweaked around with a recipe and finally brewed it this past weekend. While the fermentation...

I just put my EdWort Haus Pale Ale on tap last week and i have NOT been able to stop drinking it! My liver is screaming at me to stop! lol

Well after starting AG and quickly getting into getting a grain mill and all i'm starting to look into stockpiling ingredients for making my own recipes and brewing whenever i want. I saw on midwest's site they have bulk orders of hops (24 oz. of 4 different varieties!) and have 3 different...

Well, i have a few batches yet to brew this winter that i would like to try (my own hefeweizen recipe, AHS old ale, and AHS special holiday ale) but i have also gotten a craving for the flying dog Imperial Porter. I had a chance to try this gem a few months ago when i went on a tour of the...
