    You threw a whole orange in post boil?

    Did I just ruin my beer (orange peel edition)

    So, I decided to add orange peel to a brew this past weekend, and rather than reading up on it like an intelligent person, I simply took one whole orange peel, diced it, threw it in at 5 minutes, and then tossed it into the fermenter along with the wort. My thinking was that the rind would...

    First Attempt at Reverse Engineering

    I am trying to come up with an extract recipe that will produce something similar to one of my favorite beers, Thomas Hooker Blonde Ale (http://hookerbeer.com/beers/#blonde-ale). As you can see, their website gives you the ingredients but not the recipe. Now that you've all had a moment to...
