    Dark Arrogant? Switch Special B to Darker Malt?

    For my house CDA, I used carafa III. I just wanted to have the color and not impact the flavor much or at all. The rest of the recipe isn't that different than an IPA I make - just the addition of the carafa. My hop profile is different as well - columbus, magnum, simcoe, amarillo, and...

    Gonna brew a honey basil ale and have a question...

    the way i used to do the partial was to put the grains in a plastic mesh bag and put that in my boil kettle with water at 155 and hold it there for at least 40 min and then raise the temp to 168 for 'mash out'. i then washed the grains with about a half gallon of boiling water (a tea...

    Bembury... no worries! I haven't posted here but for today but have taken and contributed much from other sites. Yes - this is a partial mash. Last summer I converted over to all grain. I use Denny Conn's cheap and easy mash tun, found a couple kegs, and never looked back. Aside from...

    Gonna brew a honey basil ale and have a question...

    This is my recipe from tastybrew. This is my wife's only beer request that I keep on tap - as long as she has the HBA, it's all good! :) Though she has requested a belgian witbier... which is ready to keg. As to the basil - I just toss it in with 5 min left, stems and all. Most times I...
