    1can LME

    If 3.3lbs Briess Golden Light LME with Nottingham, you are looking at about 2.25 ABV. That's beer. 3.3 lbs Briess Golden Light DME gets you up to about 5 ABV. YMMV

    heartbroken

    Pitch it. "Beer enhancer" is some combination of dextrose, Maltodextrin, or DME. It presumes a recipe that doesn't have enough "mouth feel." I would trust most recipes to have already compensated for "mouth feel." RDWAHAHB.

    All grain recipe kit for Abbey Ale

    I am a fan of Maltose Express, which are the Clone Brews and Beer Captured folks. Leffe Blond Abbey Ale clone Ommegang clone I haven't had either, but I loved their Val Dieu Tripel [sic] kit, and have brewed several recipes from their books.

    DME vs LME

    1) DME should be slightly cheaper. 2) I can't taste the difference. 3) I use mostly LME because I cannot seem to use DME without making an unpleasant to clean mess. That's the only reason I have to use LME, but it's a big enough reason for me. 4) When using LME, I use the entire container...

    Whiskey infused Oak Cubes in Secondary

    1) I drink good whiskey straight. Beam or Jack needs Coke, though I'd rather have the Coke straight. 2) "Reeks of oak" is why you are doing this. The reeking will mellow. Toss it in. 3) Go to 1) for what to do with fresh whisky. 4) OTOH, 16 oz is a lot of whiskey, at least for a 5 gallon...

    Random observation.

    I have never brewed a Brewers Best, though I've tasted a couple brewed by another home brewer. Good enough. I have brewed kits from Austin Homebrew, Maltose Express, Northern Brewer and Xtreme Brewing. They have all been very good with Maltose Express the best of the bunch.

    Orange peel

    Did someone above make a pithy statement that pith had a pithy taste? No pith with the zest of two navel oranges in my Cuvée Des Trolls.

    Learning to brew: extract SMASH or kits

    SMaSH takes the variables out so that you can see what this malt or that hop does. SMaSH has value, particularly for the frequent brewers trying to learn the ingredients. OTOH, SMaSH brewing is indifferent to learning techniques. Me, I would try different styles to learn techniques. The...

    Cacao nibs

    Most online homebrew stores carry cocoa nibs. In my neck of the woods, the high end grocery stores and the health food stores carry cocoa nibs. I think I have seen them around baking supplies.

    I'm a Noob + Zulu Beer project

    eBay seems to be the best source for malted corn. For wheat, I'd use either Briess White Wheat, Colorado White Wheat or Rahr White Wheat.
