    Left Hand Milk Stout?

    I see there are some older threads referencing this beer, but does anyone has a clone or recipe that is close to the Left Hand version?

    Hop Pricing

    Anyone have an idea what an average or reasonable number, regarding price, would be for hops by the pound for a smaller brewpub or brewery? I realize this varies, especially on hop types, just looking for something close.

    Sour Mash BW Question

    Great, another Berliner Weisse thread, lol... I did a BW not to long ago with really really nice results, the final beer tasted Bells Oarsman, so much so that my brewing friends could only tell the difference by the amount of sour, mine was more sour, and color, mine was a little darker. I did...

    Hefe help

    I have brewed 2 versions of a hefe so far and have not been able to get that nice banana nose and taste I am looking for. Grist was near 50/50 white wheat and Pilsen, with a pound of Golden Naked oats in one batch and 2 lbs Munich in the second to get more color. Both were mashed at 152F...

    Session IpA recipe critque

    My first shot at this, and at using Mosiac, what do you think, the Moteka in the recipe are actually Mosiac and I will be doing a 30 min hop stand with the 0 minute additions. Thinking I will chill to 150 and then add the 0 min hops... Mosiac Ipa (Session) American IPA Type: All Grain...

    Bacteria Cleanup

    I have a few questions regarding the cleanup/sanitation when dealing with bugs/brett and standard yeast in the same area. I have about 5-7 gallons of sour/wild/bacteria beers fermenting in my basement for about a year. In that time period I have had a batch of Dunkelweisse that had zero...

    Split batch questions

    I want to brew tomorrow, well everyday, but I am planning on brewing tomorrow. My pipeline is getting dangerously low due to kid and work functions so I want to do a double batch instead of a back to back brew day. My goal is to brew a 10 gallon batch and split it into 2 beers, one Hefeweizen...

    "Black IPA" critque

    What do you think guys/gals? Looking for some roast but not over the top. I am worried a bit about the BU-Gu ratio, 1.36 too high? I was thinking of throwing some more hops in at whirlpool too. What about water profile from Bru'n water for this, regular pale ale profile of something else...

    Smokey Saison Question

    I am working on brewing a dark Saison and I want to add some smoke character to the beer. I am not looking for a smoke dominated beer, just a bit of depth for character. My plan is to use Belgian Pils, Briess Pale Ale malt, and torrified wheat for the base and I have not decided what to use...
