Ok so I split a pound of Palisades with one of the brew club guys. The problem is I don't know what to make with them. Hops directs says good in all English ales, US Pale Ales and Brown ales. Has anyone brewed with this hop and have an opinion? I was almost thinking about making a American IPA...

Ok I have read the threads but what is your experience using these malts in an English bitter/Special/ESB? I know the purists out there are going to say you have to use MO but Red Hook continually wins awards for its ESB and it uses US 2 row. So thoughts/??? I'm not saying I'm too cheap to...

So I am building up some yeast from a slant from my local club's yeast bank. It's an abby strain from yeast labs (now defunct), but like I said I'm building up from a slant so my patience for growing yeast will be shot by the time I get enough for a 1.050ish beer. That being said any ideas for a...

Has anyone successfully cultured summit brewery's hefe yeast? The web site says that it's been filtered with some german yeast left in to keep it fresh. I have 3 bottles from a sampler pack and was thinking about saving the dregs from all three and trying to culture from that. ANYONE?

Ok I've read a little about this yeast and know some one the board absolutely LOVE this strain. Now I just bought a bomber of Mocha Porter and am currently attemepting my first Yeast Wrangling! My plan, assuming all goes wel, is to brew a Dead Guy Clone, followed by havesting and splitting the...

I just racked a cream ale over to secondary and the FG was 1.006 down from 1.045. I mashed at 152 for 2 hours so I thought I'd be lucky to get below 1.010 but WOW. I did rack this beer on top of a yeast cake from the previous beer. I have little experience with 1056 so I don't know how this...

So I was thinking about making an AAA and but I'm not sure if I'm going overboard on the crystal. What do you guys think? Here's the recipe: 5 lb 2 Row 5 lb Munich 1 lb Crystal 60 .5 lb British Extra Dark Crystal 1 oz Target 8.6%AA 60min<< I know this isn't a c hop or magnum but I...

This is version2.0 of my ESB. I really liked the grain bill but the original was underhopped so I came up with this: 7 Gallons boiled 5.5 gallon batch 80% eff. 10 lb Canadian Pale Ale Malt .75 lb Victory .5 Crystal 60L .5 Crystal 80L I have a nice 1968 cake from a english PA I'm...

I'm planning a Wit w/ 3955 but I hate to throw away yeast after only one beer. Does anyone have any suggestions for a follow up recipe for a 3955 cake?

So I'm brewing my first EPA tomorrow. I know it's the same catagory as an ESB but I'm trying to keep it a pale ale. It's also not a very traditional grain bill but I have 100lbs of candian pale malt so I'm definately not going out to buy MO. I would also prefer UK Crystal but my LHBS didn't...
