I would first like to say, that in all the beers I've made, this one has been the easiest to research because of this thread. Bravo. I want to run something by y'all that I was thinking about... I understand that Kolsch yeast is the consenus, but I have always had issues when using it for my...

I have done 1 beer with MJ M84, and it was one of our best lagers yet. Just grabbed some form the LHBS to throw in a classic Czech Pils.

Hey all. We have a pretty good supply of Missouri peaches during certain times of the year that we would like to utilize in a beer. No offense to any Georgians out there, but they just seem to taste better than the other peaches that are available year round. I am, however, not wanting to do...

Step one towards recovery is admitting you have a problem... step to is caring that you do. I'm yet to reach step two :)

Not far from my folks it looks like, if you're in Dodge. Their farm is just south of Williams, IA, where 20 and 35 meet. We stop in at the Depot when we get over your way haha! I'm in KC now, but I go home to brew. More space!

As mentioned in the post above, I grew up on a farm in Iowa. This is an amber lager, modeled loosely after Yuengling. For the corn portion of the grain bill, we crushed corn directly out of our grain bin and did a cereal mash with it. The dark kilned malt that gives the beer its color also lends...

My Great Granddad used to mow all of the different acreages that were spread over our farm when he was alive. Today with 2 72" deck mowers it takes a day and a half to mow everything. Mowing was his retirement job, and it was essentially full time, but he loved it almost as much as he loved...

We let the beer ferment in the primary for 12 days at 78 degrees. We pitched 8oz (one quarter of a quart mason jar) of preserved yeast cake.

Results are in on the Blue moon recipe with Voss Kveik Yeast. We called our version, "Harvest Moon". Our beer is the one on the left depicted below, the commercial version (Blue Moon from 12oz bottle) is on the right. The taste profiles are virtually identical, aside from the fact that Voss...

We had a small taste pre-bottling a few weeks back. Will let you know on the final when we pop them, but we got a super clean taste pre-carb. Excited.

It's my next brew day! will make sure to report back.

Anyone have thoughts on fermenting Wayne's Recipe with Voss Kviek? Should be clean enough to come out similar, maybe accentuate the orange peel?

You guessed it. We're from Iowa. That said, I go to a friend's boil every year and his wife is a coonass, always has hurricanes made up for the occasion.

Hey all! I'm brewing a batch for a Crawfish boil were going to do in a few months. Everyone likes to drink hurricanes with their mud bugs, I'm thinking of doing a fruit beer that is inspired by the passionfruit and orange rum cocktail. Not sure what to do for a base beer here. Wheat is...

Beer's named after a buddy of mine... He's both Irish and redheaded, so it makes sense. Plan on brewing it on the 15th. 5.25 Gallon Batch Fermentables 10 lb American - Pale 2-Row 37 1.8 75.1% 1 lb American - Caramel / Crystal 10L 35 10 7.5% 5 oz American - Roasted Barley 33 300 2.3% 2 lb German...

Hey all! I am looking to build a recipe around some VK that i will have saved after I rack my current raspberry wheat and save it. I have done some reading, and I'm not sure I want to do the full blown juniper berry norweigian farmhouse ale, and I've got some WLP007 that I can do any PA or...

I am doing BIAB, so I am getting about a 60% mash efficiency. Prior to pitching, this came out right on the button for OG of 1.057

I did consider doing a RedX/Corn malt bill. Don't hate the idea at all. Added Victory strictly for the added SRM, not used it before, but without the 2 row it likely isn't necessary.

I've always brewed for me and my very few hop head and/or good beer appreciating buddies. This beer is an attempt to bridge the gap between them, and the Busch Light guys. Yuengling Lager is a beer that they all seem to appreciate. Also, my ol' man is a corn farmer in Iowa, so this provides an...

Not the best picture, but it's a drone photo of my old man's combine and "Billtown Brewing Company" in a red box above
