I never thought of that. After reading the description for Biere de Garde, that may be close. I never tried one before, so you have piqued my interest to go find a commercial example. Thanks

So, I made up a recipe, trying to use up a bunch of old ingredients I had on hand. Here’s the recipe: Grain bill 9lbs - Maris Otter 1lb - Weyermann Munich 2 13oz - Red X 8oz - Weyermann Vienna 8oz - Caramunich 2 2oz - Carafa Special 3 Hops 60 min - .13oz Magnum (6.53 IBU) 30 min - 1oz...

Thanks for the leads. I’ll check them all out.

From the home brewers in the Detroit area, I’m looking for a place to fill/buy CO2 tanks…preferably, in the Downriver area. I used to refill my tank at Adventures in Homebrewing out in Ann Arbor, but obviously, that’s not an option anymore. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I appreciate the info. I will stick with with my normal mash schedule. As far the acid malt goes, AIH threw it all in one bag. So I’ll just have to roll with it. Thanks again.

Thanks for the reply. Just to clarify (no pun intended), are you saying 6-row having higher protein levels is untrue, or that it can cause more haze is untrue, or both? Just trying to understand. Thanks again.

I just ordered a recipe kit from AIH, with the base malt being 6-row. Here’s the grain bill: 9lbs 6-row 2lbs flaked maize .4374lbs acid malt I have never used 6-row before, but read it can produce haze due high protein levels. For those of you who are familiar with using 6-row, would you...

We’ll, this was my first year of home brewing. I started with my first batch last March. In total, I brewed 47 gallons in 2021.

Thanks for all the opinions and suggestions. I think I‘ll go with the MO to keep it interesting. My LHBS only sells Muntons MO, so I’ll look into ordering Thomas Fawcett or Crisp from somewhere.

Looking for opinions… Question: When brewing smash beers to help identify hop flavors and aromas, what base malt would you choose…Maris Otter or 2-Row? (Or something else?) I plan on doing a bunch of smash beer experiments in the near future and thought it would be best (and cheaper) to just...

Anything different with the grain crush this time? Could be a possibility.

Yes, I am already experiencing this. The hard part is convincing my wife I need new things. But, I have a few time tested tricks up my sleeve. Lol

Thanks, I’m definitely hooked and looking forward to many more brews to come.

First brew ever is now in the history books! I must say, this turned out better than I thought it would. There is room for improvement, for sure. But overall, I was very impressed on how good it turned out. I figure I would share this on my original thread. Here’s a picture of it. It is an...

Great to see some other Michiganders on here. Thanks for the warm welcome. I’m from SE Michigan, also...the Down River area.

Hello all. I am completely new to home brewing. In fact, I haven’t even brewed my first batch, yet. I have decided to jump head first into the deep end by going the all-grain route. I obviously have a lot to learn an am looking forward to the challenge. I am still in the process of getting...
