I don't have a temp control system so I change my brewing depending on the season. Summer I use yeasts that benefit from the warmer weather and turn to other strains in the fall and winter months. I'm lucky and live in an area with a mild climate so I can get away with ambient temperature...

Been playing beat the dealer since it came out. Finally won! Time for a happy dance!

If you go through Coos Bay, check out 7 Devils Brewing Co. They are the best (read only) brewery in the county.

Same here. Love the stubbies!

Appears Luther's favorite beer, Einbeck, was made from two thirds barley and one third wheat. "Yellow in color and clear." so I would use a non roasted malt, probably a pilsner or 2 row with white wheat. Add a German ale yeast and some hops that would have been available at the time and you...

Here is a good write up on the beers of the time. https://faithfulreaders.com/2012/05/01/the-beers-of-martin-luther/

Brew like it is 1803!! https://youtu.be/NLxNWWeEAlw

I'm in the same boat as you. Anything with more than 30 IBU's is not for me.

Had to go to the local library and have them get the single book on the subject (thanks Charlie!) transferred from a couple towns over. Then I had to listen to all my friends tell me I would go blind or worse if I attempted to make my own beer. Ahh, those were the days....

Count me in! Just scored a fridge off Craigslist and this would complete my fermentation chamber. :)

I love historical brews and cooking. Here is one that uses wheat bran and star anise. https://youtu.be/zKAk2c8KfNE

It would be about 30 percent of the grain bill. Working on a Yuengling clone.

I have used crushed malt a couple months later with no noticeable difference. Just store in a cool dark place and you should be fine.

Working out a recipe and I have no Vienna malt. What I do have on hand is: 2 row 6 row Marris Otter Carapils Biscuit Crystal 30L Crystal 60L Red Wheat Wondering if a bit of Biscuit and either 2 row or Otter would work in a pinch. Any input? Or shall I use this as an excuse...

Corona mill knock off- $15 bucks on Ebay 5 Gallon Buckets- free from local bakery Lids for said buckets- free from local bakery The ability to buy in bulk and mill my own grain without dropping $200 on a fancy crusher- priceless.

I cannot stand hoppy beer. With all the hop madness these days it can be difficult to find a good beer that does not have 15 pounds of hops dumped in it.

First thing I did was to put the other bottles in the fridge. Going to test one after they have chilled out. Have made cider many times bottling in plastic and this was my first bomb.

Well this is a first for me. Made a batch of blackberry cider, been in the bottle for a couple weeks. I use plastic soda bottles since they are cheap easy and the cider does not last long around here. Woke up today and thought I smelled something yeasty, but did not give it much thought. Got...

Dechutes Brewery American Wheat. Pretty good on a hot smoky afternoon.
