Thanks...some how searching the full extent of the internet did not cross my mind this early.

I love this recipe from Brewing Classic Styles by Zainasheff and Palmer, but lost the book... Is anybody willing to post the recipe for me? The more information you provide, the better. THANK YOU! I've been brewing this recipe a lot since I started brewing a year or so ago. I use it as...

I love IPAs, so that's what I usually brew. Anyways, after taking readings I taste the wort (OH WORT!, you are so close to being beer). It's not bad...but, it always tastes much better when it's carbonated, cold, and done fermenting. So, here's the question: What should wort taste like...

HAHAHA! That was quite tactful.

I brewed the West Coast Blaster recipe from the book "Brewing Classic Styles" by Zainsaheff and Palmer and hit my target OG. :rockin: This is my 5th extract brew and second full boil, and the first time I actually hit my target OG. I had to modify the recipe a bit because my LHBS didn't have...

Hydrobrew in O-Side also has them. They seemed to have a good supply. Home Brew Mart is still out.

The sweeter ones were also more carbonated. When I opened them spewed for 15min or so. A week to 10 days in the primary, and a week in the secondary. Bottled both at the same time, same way. I also didn't know bottle fillers existed until after I bottled. Leaving different amounts of...

I just finished up my first batch, and will be brewing a second today. This is for down the road, so I can drink enough beer to have bottles in a few weeks. On my last batch I bottled in 22oz bottles first, and then to 12oz bottles when I ran out. Some, but not all, of the 22oz bottles were...

For Christmas, I was given the equipment necessary to brew my own beer. Unfortunately I was not given the knowledge to know how to do it. So this will make this my first batch of beer. My attempt was guided by three sources: Charlie Papazian's book, "The Joy of Home Brewing," the instructions on...
