Alright folks. Here's my question.... I plan on doing the Flander's Red from Brewing Classic Styles. It says a few ways to do it, from adding the Roselare strain in at the beginning with an American Ale Yeast, or at the end. The varying difference being the sourness. My idea is this, but I...

So I am having an issue of all of my pale ales tasting strikingly similar. For example...I just brewed these two recipes and they are almost exactly the same! I wanted to learn more about hop character so I did some single hops, but they taste so much the same the difference is minimal. Check...

Is there a website that has some sort of a database of all the Extract's Breakdowns? When I go to Northern Brewer they give a pretty good description there of their stuff and what their extract is made of, what it should be used for, etc. I didn't know if there is a database that has all...

Okay, so on a lot of the kits I brew they have specific general time frames for brewing...1 week primary, 1 week secondary, 2 weeks bottled...or 2 weeks primary, 2 weeks secondary, and 2 weeks bottled, going up from there for bigger beers. My question is this. Say I rush it on long stuff, and...

So I am one for one in successful batches of hard cider. I'm just using store bought, preservative free cider in my mix. In the end it had a GREAT flavor, and after about a month it's real flavor started to come back around. What I'd like to do though is retain more of the APPLE flavor to the...

Folks, I'm looking to see if anyone has any clone recipes of the New Zealand beer Tui? I don't know much more about it, other than I had some while I was there and was in love. Anything would help!

So I currently have this going in my primary... 5 Gallons Mussellman's Apple Cider (Only thing is is is pasteurized and has ascorbic acid in it already, shouldn't be a problem at all) 3/4 Lb of Honey 2 lbs of Brown sugar 1/8 tsp cinnamon White Labs English Cider Yeast OG Measured...

So from lots of thread reading and all of the resources that I was able to gather I came up and have begun this recipe... 5 Gallons Mussellman's Apple Cider (Only thing is is is pasteurized and has ascorbic acid in it already, shouldn't be a problem at all) 3/4 Lb of Honey 2 lbs of Brown...
