Hey guys and gals. I know there is a thread on most under appreciated individual beers, but the search function didn't show one for most under appreciated styles. So, what have you? I say schwarzbier! :mug:

Hi guys. My uncle in law makes maple syrup and dabbles in wine/mead. I am more of a beer guy myself, but have made a few wines. He found this recipe for maple wine and he and I are both making some. My question is about the orange addition. I assume this is for acid balance. We are using...

My wife is deviating from the standard 9 month primary. She was supposed to pop on the 1st. She's gone a little long, but will be any day now. Hopefully you guys are right about the long primaries!

Hi guys and gals, I am putting together a bock here and want some input. I have been playing around with it this morning and want your input. It was inspired by Bernie Brewer's Red Baron Bock, but modified it quite a bit to what I have available. I plan on using a very healthy dose of Wyeast...

So it's 8:30 and I am just bringing the schwarzbier up to boil and I've got a big starter ready to pitch. When I get done with all that I need to start processing my 8 point I shot yesterday. There is another ~5 hrs. Somewhere in there I'd like to hear or see part of the bills/jets game...

So yesterday I got done making an oatmeal stout. My wife, who really doesn't drink beer (except the massive quantites of fermented goat urine in college) asked what it was, and what was the one I did last week. Me: last weeks was a "mocktoberfest" Her: a what? why is it a mock? insert...

Im working on an oatmeal stout recipe. I want it a little on the bigger side, so it is out of style a bit, but what do you guys think of the balance and ingredient list? 11 lb Marris otter (81%) 1.5 lb Flaked oats (11%) 0.5 lb chocolate malt (4%) 0.25 lb black patent (2%) 0.25 lb roasted...

Hi guys and gals. I am working up an oktoberfest recipe. I don't have the setup for lagering, so I'd rather cheat with a clean ale yeast than make a D-bomb with lager yeast. Here is what I have (calcs done in Beer Calculus) Method: 5.5 gal batch, mash around 155 for some body, 60 min boil...

This one is for my fellow botanists out there... I have been working on my plant ID skills in anticipation for the upcoming field season. So, I took a plant I already knew, bouncingbet (Saponaria officinalis), and ran through the key with it. For fun, I did a google search of it, and here is...

Well I finally did it. The last few times I cooled worked out well but thats because I had an endless supply of snow for the water bath. Its spring now, so cooling is going to get tougher (like last summer). Total build time: maybe 30 min. Man, it was easy. It is 3/8 ID X 50 ft. Will try...

Hey guys. I brewed a dunkleweizen back in June that I have not been a fan of. My mother in law LOVED IT. I really did not like it. The best description I could give it was sour. I looked through How to Brew and do not find a flavor that matches what I tasted. I gave the last of the brew to...

Alrighty, I have been managing full boils (5 gal batch) on my stove thus far, and it has worked. However, I would like to move to the basement eventually. I have been researching and found that GFCIs for 240 are hard to find and expensive. What methods have you guys used? I have seen two...

First, I have searched to see if this has been discussed. I hope I am not duplicating... I would like to make/get a stir plate, but I am cheap and don't want to shell out 50 bucks. I consider myself moderately handy and could probably follow one of the DIY builds, but am still a little...

Hey Guys. Do believe this post is a requirement after you perform the first AG, so here it goes. I did BIAB. Sounded easy, cheap, simple way to get in to AG (I dont want to stir up any debates that its perfect/it sucks, I just want to make some decent beer). I made myself a bag from a...
