Kind of a newb here (brewed two successful extract + steeping grains recipes so far). A little late to the game perhaps but I was hoping to throw together a simple ale for Thanksgiving. Looking for something with a subtle spice flavor and not too elaborate to make. After doing some research...

I am extract brewing using partial boils (2.5 gallons). When I add it to my chilled H20 in the carboy is that sufficient to aerate it?

I am really enjoying this Snow Cap ale I am getting at the local 7-11. I found a "clone" 6-gallon all-grain recipe for it and tried to convert it to an extract + steeping grains. Hit most of the numbers on tastybrew.com but I am sure I didn't do it quite right? I divided the specialty...

Does anyone know if these are still being sold at all, and if so, in Southern California? We are going to have a huge tailgate for the last game of my pathetic Chargers and I was thinking I could pick some up for the boys and then re-use them for brewing. Thank you!

So, my first brew isn't carbed all the way yet but seems like it will be good judging by an early taste. Yesterday I brewed a robust porter. The brewing went quite smoothly and I am excited about it. I am going to continue on with the extract + steeping grains technique for a while. It's easy...

Brewing up a batch of Robust Porter tomorrow. Trying to use some stuff I have on hand, which was 6 pounds amber DME and Galena, Centenniel, and Cascade hops but got a couple things to supplement the recipe (1/2 # Chocolate Malt, 1/2# Black Malt). Checked my recipe on tastybrew.com, as it...

Hi. I'm new. :) Does this look like a good pot for doing full boils? I just did my first brew (an extract + specialty grains amber ale). I'd like to add some equipment piece-by-piece but I want things that are versatile that I can use as I grow as a home brewer. It's a 36-quart, 20 gauge...

For my second batch I am going to brew up a Red Ale. I have some hops left over and I was going to see if I could make them work with the recipe. If anything, I might want it to be a little less hoppy than the beers typically brewed by the company that gave me the recipe. Here is the...

I am thinking of doing a dunkelweizen for my second batch of beer. I am hoping to find an extract recipe that is fairly authentic to a German dunkelweizen. I have 2 oz. of tettnanger hops on hand that I would like to use. I also have 6 pounds of amber DME on hand but from what I have...

This is my first batch in ten years (an amber ale). It has been in primary since the 17th and fermentation seems complete. I will not be doing a secondary fermentation. My goal is to have the ale ready for Christmas when family comes in. If the specific gravity is on target and is stable...
