amber ale

Hey guys, I'm new to homebrewing. I have only brewed two extract beers and a couple of experimental wild sodas, ginger beers, and ciders. I'm interested in brewing some more proper beers (I only have the equipment to brew extract recipes for the time being), and I'd love some suggestions for...

Bit of a backstory first. In my very early brewing days about 15 years ago I worked at a hospital that had tons of Brown Turkey fig trees planted around it, with so many fresh figs available I knew I had to brew with them. One day I picked a boatload and made a 5 gallon Fat Tire clone...

So, as you can see by the title, this is going to be my first brew. I posted a long while ago here in the forums asking about the difference between batch sparging and decoction mashing (lol). I've since learned that one of these isn't a mashing process, but I digress. ANYWAY, my first post...

Hi guys. I was very successful with my first brew and want to make a nice amber ale recipe. But I need some help deciphering what the terms such as grain, sparge and whatever else is used in the recipe mean. I wanna nail this so please help!! Amber Ale Recipe

I kegged up my first batch of homebrew which was an amber ale. I have a 1.75-gallon keg and a 2.5-gallon keg. My first keg tasted great, however, my second key has an off flavor that I just can't quite place. It's not terrible but not pleasant either. There was probably a month or a little more...

Hey All Recently been on another Carnival cruise down here in Aus. Carnival recently launched their own beer called Parched Pig, which are brewed by brew hub. I fell in love with the Toasted Amber Ale, unfortunately they ran out of that one on day 2 of the cruise. You can't get that beer...

Hello everyone, I didn't see a thread about recipes on the Brewie B20 or the Brewie+ so i have created one. If there is already one let me know and i'll delete this. If not then, let's see what everyone's got! I'm mostly into Amber Ales and IPAs. I will brew this weekend the Mango Habanero...

I am shooting for an non sweet, non hoppy, very full bodied, darkish, flavorful Ale. I like these stats the calculator produced from my ingredients: OG: 1.080 FG: 1.029 ABV 6.78% IBU: 21.54 SRM: 13.88 My Grain Bill: 5 lbs. Wheat 4 lbs. Pilsner Malt 3 lbs. German Dark Munich 2 lbs...

I've tried extracts as well as partial mash and even tried a whole grain one for kicks. They all seem to have way too much caramel going on, to the point where my wife calls it 'desert beer'. I like some toasted caramel notes in an ale but so far my attempts have wound up all tasting the same...

Hello! I want to thank this entire forum first and foremost, as I have referenced many threads for information during my first brew. Brew day and bottle day were both a breeze thanks to all the info available here whenever I ran to Google for help. I'm an engineering student in Uni, bit on the...

Hello: I am a new homebrewer and have my 2nd batch fermenting right now. It's an Amber Ale from the brewers best recipe kit. I've only been doing this for 2 weeks and am kind of concerned about this recipe. I think I may have made a mistake in frementing. I used a blowoff tube into a...
