Recently, my lady and I had Sea Dog Old East India IPA. She LOVED it and wants me to brew up something similar. I did some recipe searching around HBT but couldn't find anything that fit the bill. Does anyone have access to a solid recipe or the knowledge to create one? It was amber colored...

The 5.5gal version of your Vader IPA (stellar name, dude) calls for 5oz of hops. The one I listed above calls for 9.5oz. Should this alarm me? I certainly don't want to end up with something that tastes like I could remove stains with it! Also, the homebrew shop down the street mixed all the...

That was my original issue. I was pitching at 80-85 degrees ( my lady and I HATE being cold). My brews were coming out with the most horrendous cough-medicine taste. For the peach I just made, I dropped down to 68 for pitching and 70 for secondary which seems to have solved the problem. I'm...

Thanks for the motivation and encouragement! Unfortunately, after brewing 5 different beers I've only made one that I consider potable (my most recent...a peach wheat). I'd like to get at least a few more yummy brews in before I go back to screwing things up. ( : Please excuse my doubt but...

I've decided upon a black IPA for my next brew. Not being seasoned enough to play with all grain stuff, I found this recipe on HBT crafted by damdaman in this thread (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/extract-recipe-black-ipa-161100/). 7.5 lbs light DME (3 lbs. at start of boil, 4.5 at end)...

Hey Folks, This is my fifth brew and my lady wanted a peach beer (let's be honest, I love fruit beer, too). I'm following a hybrid recipe between <https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f75/coastarines-peach-wheat-106322/> and <https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f75/peach-wheat-82544/>. The ingredients I've...

Yeah, I've had more brands of hefeweizen than I care to recall. I love the stuff and am familiar with the flavor. My batch is definately NOT it! lol Thanks again everyone for the info. I'll look into all the resources listed here!

RE: 1) Thanks for the input. I'll likely dump them as they are nasty and I could use the bottles for other, more promising brews. I'm not too scared of bombs as I brewed a stout before this hef which suffered from the same mistakes and none of those have blown...yet! 2a) Full recipe: 1 can...

1) My second batch of beer ever was a True Brew hefeweizen kit. As the directions suggested, I fermented the wort for a week before bottling. I've since come to realize that this is far too early and that fermentation is not yet complete after only one week. However, that still leaves me...

I'm absolutely NOT an expert on beer brewing yet. However, I just brewed a blueberry wheat yesterday that came in an ingredient kit put together by my local brew shop. Other than the standard ingredients, the recipe called for and came with 1 can of blueberry pie filling which was warmed and...

Interesting RM-MN. You must be spot on. As the directions indicated, I only left the stout in the fermenter for one week. I used a True Brew Ingredient Kit. Allow me to quote their instructions... "Over the next 24 hours fermentation should begin, and you'll see bubbling through the...

My first batch was a stout. It has been 5 weeks since I bottled it so I've got a stock in my fridge and was REALLY looking forward to enjoying it! However, in my humble opinion, it is way too carbonated! I expect a stout to have a deep flavor with just a hint of carbonation. This stuff has...
