I'm looking for unusual beer recipes. preferably recipes that you have actually made yourself or at least drank and liked. :tank::mug:

I read this study a while back and thought it might be interesting to share it here with HBT. This is not my work at all and I take no credit for anthing other than posting it here for you fine brewers to read.It is just something I found interesting when doing some research. Check it out and...

Brewers are constantly pushing the envelope with crazy new techniques but just when you think brewing technique can't get any more eccentric, someone proposes an idea so radical it practically blows your mind. I just finished reading the most recent issue of Zymurgy, and Charlie Papazian just...

Ok I did my first partial mash today and everything seemed to go fine until the end; I missed my target gravity by a pretty fair amount. I mashed 4.75 lbs of grain (3lbsMO, 1lbs Crystal 20, and .75 biscuit) with 5.94 qts of water at 154 for 60 mins, batch sparged and came out with 2.35...

I brewed a Witbier. I used dry orange peels and fresh peels too. It went through primary and secondary fermentation for about a week. It is has been in the bottles for about 4 days. I opened one just to see how it was. It has a nice beer taste but it taste more like a sweet orange champagne...

Man, it's been a while since I've posted anything about beer. It's good to be back. Anyway, I was unemployed for five months (not long by some measures, but long enough) and just started work at a new company. SWMBO and I want to brew something in celebration of my employment, but I'm having...

Hi, I accidentally siphoned in about a cup or less of starsan into my Better Bottle. I also accidentally put my (clean) hands in the wort. I pitched the yeast and everything, as I remember hearing that starsan breaks down into nutrient when mixed with considerable water/wort (in Basic Brewing...

This year's ACCF, besides being in a much more hospitable part of the year, is going to have all of the fun of last year's competition, plus this year's main speaker will be John Palmer! :mug: This year's schedule is: Entry period: March 6-21 Deadline for Dropoffs at Austin Hombrew: March 21...

Ok for the past few days I've been obsessed with coming up with my own extract Double IPA recipe. Since this would be my first non kit beer, I was wondering if I could get some feedback. Boil 5.5gal 1lb Crystal Grain Malt 20L 3lbs Light-DME (MoreBeer.com) 6lbs Light-LME (MoreBeer.com) 1oz...

I just got a homebrew setup and I'm brewing my first five gallons of apfelwein. I'm 21 so I just recently became legal to drink beer. Prior to that, I was at college, so my exposure was mainly Natural Ice, or, when I was at a classy dorm room, Bud Lite. I've tasted very few "real" beers so...

Greetings fellow beerlovers! I am new to the board and not much of a homebrewer myself but I recently shot Half Acre Beer Company in Chicago. I posted a couple photos here and the rest are on my blog at camerainmyhand.com Hopefully everybody enjoys. Slainte. ps - I perused the board and...

I went to bottle my beer today and noticed that there is mold in the airlock... I used vodka in my airlock and there isn't any mold that I can see growing in my beer. It's currently in a Better Bottle Carboy and I'm not sure if I should go ahead a bottle it... I don't want to bottle it and wait...

I brewed a Dunkelweizen a at the tail end of October. I'm sure I did everything right until bottling... It was moved into a secondary fermenter after a week or so in the primary fermentor, only I STILL HAVEN"T Bottled it!!!... Is it bad... It looks fine... hasn't been exposed to light. I don't...

Greetings to everyone here! I'm sure you must be wondering.. 'Mexico??' Yes, that's right! Well, let me introduce myself. I do live in Mexico, and I am Mexican, I've always enjoyed beer -even when I didn't even know a single thing about it- I used to drink beer, the 'different kinds'...

I am interested in getting into kegging. I am just wondering what i will need to get started
