Hey all, it's been awhile since I've been active on here (still looking for a job) so I thought I would kick things back off with my latest recipe. When my wife and I were out a few weeks ago I had my first Aventinus wheat dopplebock and I loved it (so did the SWMBO). Of course, I immediately...

I plan to brew a new style for me, robust porter, this coming week and I am looking for some comments/suggestions on the recipe I have constructed. It is based on a one that I found on the BeerTools website with a couple of minor modifications. Vanilla Mocha Cream Porter Partial mash...

Well, I am not really sure what style it is or what it should be called, but I brewed my latest batch yesterday. At this point, all I am really concerned about is whether or not it will taste good. I have never really been too concerned with staying within specific style guidelines, so we...

I just had a Sam Adams Double Bock (from their Imperial Collection) and I absolutely loved it. I had better like it for almost $10/4-pack! It is about as malty as I think I would like without being over the top syrupy sweet and now I want to make a similar style. Does anyone have any...

I just racked a wheat brew over into the secondary on top of a can of apricot puree (Oregon Fruit Products, 3lbs @ 12 Brix) and it has been about 12 hours with very little evidence of additional fermentation activity. There is also no visible airlock activity. I held it in primary for 6 days...

Has anyone else seen the latest Sam Adams television campaign? They are actually promoting homebrewing on the mass media. I love it! :rockin: I guess they have some contest (the Longshot Homebrew contest) they are actually marketing the winners this year. I can't wait to get ahold of them to...

I have been doing some thinking lately about alternative equipment set-up (mostly due to space constraints) and one that I have on my mind currently is the use of an extraction column for mashing. I have some basic design ideas and plan to build a pilot system this year to test the program, but...

I decided to get a bit creative this weekend and go for a nice hefe before the weather starts to warm up. I wanted a nice crisp wheat beer with a subtle apricot nose/flavor. I also want to have some of the honey flavor still left behind so I don't plan to boil the honey prior to adding it to...

Hey everyone. I am pretty new to the whole brewing thing (December 26th, 2008 was my first brew day, oh the memories...) with only a few batches of mostly kit beers under my belt, but I think I have been bitten and bitten hard. Does anyone else go to sleep dreaming of their next batch? I am a...
