Can you do an extract oatmeal stout? and if so does any one know a good recipe?

Does any one know a tried and true oatmeal stout recipe? This will be my first attempt at a stout. The plan is to have if for when the weather starts turning.

So, I opened some hop pellets and now they have been sitting in a ziplock bag in the fridge for a month or two, are they still good?

I'm looking for a simple, but delicious wheat recipe, any good ones you can suggest are appreciated. Thank you

So I have 5 gallons of apple juice and an empty carboy. I want to make a cider, but last time I tried to make a cider (5 gallons of apple juice and 3 lbs DME and a dry ale yeast. I heated 1/2 gallon of the juice to like 180* and dissolved the DME in that) it turned out really sour when I bottled...

So I made a modified version of some apfelwein: 5 gallons apple juice 3 lbs DME 1 packet of safale US-05 I heated half a gallon of the apple juice to about 180* to dissolve the DME I just bottled it today, and when I tasted the left overs it tasted sour. Is that an infection, or just...

Should I use the oven or dishwasher to sanitize my bottles? If the oven, how long and how hot? Or should I just use star san? -Thanks

The new Pale Ale I brewed tastes almost like soap, granted, the best soap I've ever tasted but still... I had an amber ale that tasted a bit like soap too, not as much, but they both had cascade hops, so its either the hops, or my technique. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Heres a...

Has anyone used DME instead of corn sugar for apfelwein? I went to the LHBS today and decided to get DME and safale US-05 to go with the apple juice, what do you think? and how much DME do you think? would heating up some of the apple juice and dissolving the DME in that work? Thank you

So I brewed up a 3/4 gallon batch of a wheat beer that used chocolate malt :ban:. I used WLP 380 (I'm not entirely sure what temperature it was at because I didn't have a thermometer on the jug I was using) and I got a ridiculous amount of banana and clove :ban:. So I was wondering if there was...

I've had some hops in a zip lock in my fridge for several weeks, are they still good? and along the same lines, I've had some milled grains in a zip lock too for the same time. What do you think are they still good?

Right now I have a 6 pack of Boulder Brewing Co.'s Hazed and Infused (super hoppy) and a box of thin mints. Life is good. :mug: :tank:

so I was trying to rack to secondary today with some cheese cloth over the racking cane to filter out the dry hops. The damn thing wouldn't hold a siphon. I ended up having to use my mouth for some of it, not to mention that by the end the entire siphon hose was filled with bubbles probably...

So I have an IPA in primary right now and its been dry hopped (with pellets) for like 10 days at this point. The plan was to bottle today, but due to some unfortunate circumstances, that can happen for about a week. I didn't use a hop bag or anything, so I can't pull the hops out. I have an...

So I have an IPA in primary right now about to be bottled. I took a hydro sample and it was nice and clear, and at my target gravity (maybe a tad high). So I dry hopped it with an ounce of cascade pellets. I just took some out to give it a smell and a taste and it was really cloudy. What might...

The tube I used as a blow off is now discolored even after a good overnight soak in PBW, is it still good to use for racking?
