I have an idea to make a chocolate orange porter/stout. I was thinking of starting with a good solid chocolate porter recipe and infusing some orange flavour in there. Any ideas on this? Anybody brew a chocolate orange beer yet?

Hi everyone. I'm looking for a pretty straight forward amber ale recipe kinda like Rogues American amber. Any ideas? Thanks!

I just racked my pilsner to a secondary last night and it just seems a little darker than what I was thinking it would look like. (almost a light amber colour) I'm curious to see if you guys have made pilsners that look as dark as mine while in a carboy. So....let's see 'em!

The SWMBO and I are likely taking a trip to Vermont (probably Burlington area) in February and I'm wondering if there are any good supply shops in the area....

I've decided that my next beer will be a chocolate stout in the style of Young's Double Chocolate Stout. Anybody have any great recipes or kit recommendations? It must be extract since that's all I'm setup for at the moment. Thanks.

I've had a hefeweizen fermenting for about a week now and I took a sample of it last night to check the gravity. So far so good. The flavour was really good too but....it smells like sulpher. I know certain yeasts emit sulpher while fermenting but my question is this... When does this smell...

Let me clarify... I like hops. I like to taste hops in beers where it's appropriate, however I'm just not a huge fan of highly hopped beer styles. I've tried as many of the critically acclaimed highly hopped beers but none of them really did it for me. (Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Sierra Nevada...

Any tips on coverting a 5 gallon extract recipe to a 2 gallon version? I have a few small carboy I bought used locally and would like to use them to make a few 2 gallon batches. I have a bunch of 5 gallon recipes I'm willing to try, I just need to converted to 2 gallon versions.

What are the best brewing/beer magazines out there? I'm new to brewing but I'm obsessed with learning more and just simply reading about brewing and beer.

Anybody from the Ottawa area on here? Montreal? Even Toronto? I'd like to either swap some homebrews or just meet up for some beer tastings and stuff.

it's the first time I've ever paid to be a member of any website or anything like that. I've learned tons from you guys already and I'm having a bunch of fun brewing. Basically....great site and I'm glad I'm now a paying member. :rockin:

Anybody want to send me some of your beer? I'll pay for the shipping to have it sent to me and I'll even ship the bottles back if you want. Make sure you include as much info about the beer as possible. I'll make sure to write up a full review of the beer so you can get an outsider's opinion...

Long story short.... I'm brewing my first pilsner (2nd batch ever) My yeast didn't take off (my fault) I gave it about 2 weeks to see if it would eventually start up. No luck. This is what I did... I added a Saflager S-23 yeast to it last night after rehydrating it and it seemed to be...

Hello, I finally got a little activity in my fermenter after about 5-6 since I pitched the yeast. I have some krauzen and some foam. I used a Wyeast (pilsner) smack pack but didn't let it expand (stupidly) before pitching the yeast. Anyhow, I just checked my gravity and I got a 1.048. My...

I started a Brew House Pilsner kit last night and used a Wyeast 2007 Pilsner yeast instead of the Cooper's dry yeast supplied. Here's my question... After 14-15 hours in my basement at about 55 fahrenheit I have no activity at all. Now this is only my second batch of beer but my first batch...
