What else do you have a question about? P.S. I guess this is a partial mash because you are rinsing the grains after you steep them (ie the steep is actually a mash).

I'm confused. Is this a Partial Mash or a Extract+Steeping? Recipe looks like a E+S, but what will happen to the malted wheat and pils malt if you just steep instead of mash?

Why not just friendly barter using beers? Trade beer for books, food, homework answers, favors (of all types), etc?

While we are on the subject... What the f*ck does WTF stand for?

I wanted to jump into making my own recipes, so I came up with this. Plan to brew it next weekend. I used Jamil, Beer Smith Sample, and other internet readings as guidelines to work within. INGREDIENTS 5.00 lb Pale Liquid Extract (8.0 SRM) Extract 47.62 % 1.50 lb Oats, Flaked (1.0 SRM) Grain...

American IPA Oatmeal Stout Oktoberfest

Don't taze it bro! lol. But anyways... congrats. My first batch is a few days away from 3 weeks in bottles and I can't wait either.

(512) Brewery, a relatively new Austin micro, has a great pecan porter which utilizes locally grown pecans. Unfortunately AFAIK they are still only selling kegs to local pubs.

That thing looks like something Jack Bauer would liberate from a terrorist. But seriously, I think its for growing very large yeast cultures. Quick google search turns up: http://www.niroinc.com/gea_liquid_processing/fermentors_bioreactors.asp

From White Labs website: Maybe try keeping the starter in a cooler place?

I'm a little confused about using Fuggles as a aroma hop. On one hand I've read that Fuggles adds grassy accents, but on the other grassy flavors are a sign of something gone wrong. How is a balance struck here? Side note: Still being green at this, I'm currently reading "How to Brew" with...

From what I've read every percentage point abv in a 12oz beer is equal to 3.75g of alcohol/beer. Each gram of alcohol is 7 calories. So a typical 12oz 5% beer has about 130 calories just from alcohol (never mind remaining sugars, etc.) The main way to get calories down is to reduce alcohol...

Can't you just take a 5 gal recipe and top off to 7-10gals? I'm only half joking.

Really? Is this just for easy of homebrewing?

Oktoberfests tend to be lagers. At the very least you are going to want to switch to ale yeast, but I don't know what else you would need to do.

Whoops... my bad.

Yeah, I guess I didn't word my question quite right. The recipes I've brewed so far recommend 5-7 days in the primary and then 5-7 days in the secondary. But if the FG is hit on day 4 in the primary, is there an advantage to waiting another few days before going to the secondary? (Assuming I...

Also, I don't think you can use your bottling bucket as a secondary. Your going to have more yeast fall out of your brew and this is going to sit right by your spigot.

I just brewed my 3rd batch yesterday and started thinking about primary and secondary times. Once the specific gravity stabilizes in the primary, is there any advantage to leaving the brew in the primary vs moving it to a secondary? Will the suspended yeast not clean up after itself as well as...
