Just a quick question for anyone that has ever used Simpsons peated malt. I used 4 oz. of peated malt (2%) in a porter and I can not get the smoke out of it. Everyone’s opinions lead me to only use 4 oz. in any given recipe but I feel like I should have gone with atleast 8 oz. Or does the smoke...

Hey guys, Just wanted to ask how low was the lowest degrees linter have you gone? And did it convert how you wanted it? Im planning on using 60% golden promise (70 Diastatic power) and 40% malted oats (0 diastatic power). So over all I would have 43 degrees linter in the mash. I could just use...

So I've been brewing light colored beers for the past few months and am tired of seeing it in my fridge lol. Been looking into brewing a nice red saison (if there is such a thing). 2.5 gallon batch. Here is a recipe I made just from researching different malts. Let me know what you think. I've...

I have a question about flaked grains because recently have been experimenting with New England Style IPA's and been using these flaked grains for smoothness. First of all, I see online that they have no extract yield??? But then i put it in my brewing software and they apparently do? Then...

Does anybody have any experience with Imperial A20 Citrus and/or WLP644? I'm curious to know what temps works best in YOUR experiences and what types of beers work well with these "Sacc Trois" type yeasts. Also, Id be happy to learn more about this strain if you have any other inputs. Thanks :]

Hey Guys! So Im finding it more fun to create my own recipe's than just buying a kit and wanted to try a single hop brew. Wanted to know how you guys think this is going to turn out. Just learned about whirlpooling the other day and wanted to give it a try. Should I go lighter on the whirlpool...

Im about to dry hop my 2.5 gallon IPA in a few days. When i was picking up some hops, I saw grapefruit zest hanging out in the fridge at the local shop. I love grapefruit IPA's so i thought i would give it a shot and dry hop with it. How much zest should i use for it to kick through my IPA? The...

Hey fellow home brewers! This is my first post here at Home Brew Talk. I recently brewed my first partial mash American IPA last week. It has only been 5 days in primary. I decided to take a gravity reading to see where it was at. it went from OG 1.060 to 1.016. I took a sip just to see how it...
