Hi all! Sure, this topic has been up before. Even dug deep into with scientific articles etc. Still some things aren't quite clear to me. So, a couple of hours of googling, reading articles, listen to podcasts etc. I have a good understanding of what "Hop Creep" acutally is, and why it...

I've got some american hops laying around which I have used for previously beers. It is enough to make a hoppy beer if I blend them all together, which makes approximately 1/6 centennial, 1/6 columbus and 4/6 cascade. Now, this is pretty much ideal for a classic american pale ale. But the thing...

Hi all, I'm thinking of brewing an american stout next weekend and I need some advices. I want to have a brew with taste of orangepeels/citrus and coffee. I have the following recepie: What do you think? Shall I substitute the dark chocolate malt with more roasted barley, anthing else...

I'm planning to brew a higher gravity ale (1.075 OG approx.) on sunday. I've previously been fermenting in 30L (8 gal) buckets, but I have recently bought a much smaller 15L (4 gal) bucket. I usually brew ~11,5L (3 gal) at a time. I wonder if the new fermentor bucket is big enough to handle a...

This has happened to a lot of my home brews, and I don't feel like dry hopping the crap out of everything just to cover it... It is the yeasty smell and taste that I am talking about that keeps ruin my home brews. This has happened with several yeast strains; us-05, nottingham, mauribrew...

I'm thinking of making a beer just like the finnish Mämmi-dessert. The dessert is originally made of Water, rye flour, powdered malted rye, treacle, Seville orange zest. I want to make this to beer. I'm thinking an OG of 1.070, ~30 EBC (15 SRM). IBU/GU 0.6 75% Pale Malt 15% Rye Malt 5%...

It tastes like a dark european macro lager (in a good, clean way). Some nice maltiness from the pils and munich malts, slight caramel taste from the caramunich and a liqorice-plum-chocolate taste from the chocolate malt. I wouldn't change a thing in this recepie! I thought I'd share it with...

So, I did a little research on my brewing water. The water in my town (Norrköping, SE) is very close to the water profile of Vienna. Having a residual alkanity of 40+ according to John Palmers graph, this water is suitable for amber and slightly red colored beers. Using the water profile tool...

Hi all, I've had atleast 3 brews that has a very odd off-flavour. It is quite hard to describe it, and doesn't seem to fade off with time. It gives the beer a very flower-like aroma, it has a sweet alcoholic scent that itches a little bit in the nose. The taste somehow reminds of honey. It is...

I'm thinking about brewing a Pale Ale with Dr. Rudi and US Cascade hops. Do you think these will pair well? The ratio will be roughly 4:3 (Cascade:Rudi). Recipe Specifications :tank:

So, my water calls for amber colored beers. I am a pretty new brewer and I've heard that Altbiers are pretty easy to brew. I'm looking towards a more balanced altbier, not a bitter one. I will use Southern Cross Hops because I have them in my freezer (also have some Dr. Rudi if they are...

I will make this pale ale but I need some advices if I shall change anything to the recepie. My water is generally good for amber ales, so thats why I use a bit of dark crystal malt... No light colored ales turned out good in the past! I did this recepie with crystal 60 and american hops and it...

The thought behind this beer is that it is going to be an ale-type czech pilsner inspired beer. Call it an Ale-Pilsner, Altbier Helles or an European Pale Ale. I will brew this next week. OG: 1.060 FG: 1.015 ABV: 5.8% IBU: 40 Color: 14.5 EBC IBU/GU: 0.67 - 90 min mash (biab), 67...

Hello guys, I find most of my home brewed beers OK tasting, but extremely easy to drink and light bodied. Almost like a non-alcoholic beer. I used BIAB. This is how I usually do; 1. Heat up water in the kettle, ~7-10 degrees celcius above mashing temperature. 2. Add all the grains...

Hello, I'm in subject to brew a nice English style porter. I am pretty new at brewing so I'd be very thankful for some feedback on this (aiming for something close to Fuller's London Porter). 11L batch. - - Brewtarget data OG: 1.054 FG: 1.013 ABV: 5.2% IBU: 27.1 Color: 62.8 EBC...

Like many home brewers, I don't have the option to ferment by beer at colder temperature than my basement. This will make it hard (read: impossible) to brew a pale lager for example. I'm concidering to blend 3 different yeasts. The goal is to make sure that the beer always will have a healthy...

Hello everyone, I'm planning to do my first brew next Sunday. I have brewed with a friend before, but never alone. I'm planning on making a Pale Ale. I've had a little help with the recepie from the net, but I have 3 questions that I hope someone can answer. 1. In the recepie, I am...

Hello everybody! I'm Jesse. Logistics student, 22 from Sweden. I've been brewing together with other people before but just decided to get my own equipment. Planning to brew a Pale Ale next Sunday! Cheers brew buddies :mug:
