I guess since the special b and caramunich can be steeped that there is no need to mash then or do you get something by mashing them? I assume all grain brewers mash specialty grains because it is easier to just add them to your mash

Hi everybody I want to make an special beer for a friends 10th wedding anniversary, an abbey clone, put i would like to make it a partial mash. I have found lots of info on converting some of the grains but cant find out how much base grain I need to mash in order to properly convert all...

I think I will try a little bit of both methods, zest near the end of boil (how much?) and puree in 2nd( how much). I can't find puree of any kind up here so I gues I ll just wing it

Thanks for the suggestions. Your recipe seems fine. I figure a couple bags of each tea tossed in at flameout and taste at bottling and add some more if wanted. The lemon is the trickiest for sure. I have went through many lemon zest posts on this site but not sure which way to go. It is a...

Hey everybody Up here in Ontario, one of our great local breweries, Mill Street, has released a lemon tea beer. Unlike some of the other big boy lemon beers, this one is just right, not to much but enough and damn refreshing in this super hot weather. It gives the ingredients on the can...

I plan on brewing a 6 gallon batch which will lower the alcohol a bit. This brew is really just a warm up to trying a dogfish headish 15% 120

I think its wild just becase its an 18% beer. I would not be worried about it being cloudy, it is an imperial wheat after all. I am just a newb but I think I would let the hefe yeast go til it slows and then add the high gravity yeast finish up. Here is the link...

HI I found a really interesting high gravity beer, Wild Ass Beer in the tasty brew recipe site. For this recipe (which contains 17lbs of wheat extract) they say to add your super gravity yeast after 3 days of your hefe yeast and continue to transfer to another carboy every 10 days til...

I was thinking along the same lines, maybe some crystal 15. I will actually use mostly pilsen with 3lbs extra light spraymalt. Should I up the spraymalt? It worked really well for my double ipa Would keeping fermentation higher be better for a brew like this, just to make sure it finishes or...

After a lot of research I think I ve got it worked out. 5.5 gallon batch 6.25 boil 15 lbs Light DME 1 lb Amber DME 3 lbs Corn Sugar (to be added over the course of fermentation) 2.25oz Amarillo 60min 2oz Simcoe 60min 2.25oz Warrior 60min 2oz Amarillo Dry Hop 1oz Simcoe Dry Hop 2oz Warrior...

HI I know this is an old post, but i was wondering how this beer turned out. I am a huge DFH fan and am trying to do the same, but finding the balance of malt and hops is a bit hard to figure out.

I will read that link for sure. I just slapped this recipe together on a free calculator. 10 lbs Amber DME 1 lb Light Dme 1 lb Crystal 40 1 lb Crystal 20 That gives me a high SG and a lighter more red color. .75 oz Amarillo 90min .75 oz Simcoe 90 min .75 oz Warrior 90 min .5 oz Amarillo...

So would you just take the dfh 90 recipe, up it to get the gravity, add a week of sugar additions and high tolerance yeast, and add some dry hop additions? I pretty new at this and wouldnt want all that work and time to go to waste. I guess I could run some ideas through some brew software and...

Hi all. I am an extract brewer and love dogfish head 120. I know this brew is tough even doing all grain. So.... I would like to formulate a extract recipe with a similar taste. I have made a DFH 90 which turned out really well, (actually better) so i thought I could take those basic...

I would like to try this recipe but using orange peel from my LHS. How much should I use? I ve looked around and there are lots of different ideas. thanks!

Where can i get the lactose and in what form?

What about adding some dark oak chips to this brew?

I found the syrup at Brewmasters warehouse. I got 4 so I can do another batch right away. Did my beans today. Probably wont brew it for 3-6 weeks though. Seems like a lot of Vodka

Hey everybody, I'm a new brewer from the north (Canada) and would really like to try this recipe. Getting supplies here is really a pain. I need Belgian D2 syrup but can't get it here. Any suggestions? Maybe just increasing my dme? Thanks!!

There is no retail store. Randy does it on the side from his house. Nice guy picked up ingredients for my dbl ipa from him and he shared his dark ale. He has good stuff or if he doesnt he will look. I just needed some quick replies but he is to busy. I do plan on getting most of my stuff...
