Summary: I can make any beer from extract, AG, etc and they taste awesome everytime except when an English yeast is used. First let me give you a quick brewing background to help rule out most of the usual suspects: I have brewed about 30 batches of beer. I have done mostly all-grain, though...

During my mash for my dubbel today I used this link to make dark candi syrup https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/20-lb-sugar-jar-yeast-nutrient-114837/ It turned out pretty good. But after I stopped the cooking process I wound up with a solid brick of sugar and a little liquid. I heated this...

Drank a couple of amazing Belgian style ales but they are so damn expensive and hard to find! Anyway I've always wanted to brew my own beer and I guess this nudged me into finding out how to do it myself. I already roast my own coffee, good stuff and cheap too. Can I make less than 5...
