Hey! I'm looking for an advice how to impart strong dark bread/pumpernickel flavours into a beer. Which malts, and how much? Any particular style comes to your minds? (I heard about strong bready maltiness in dunkles bock, but unfortunately my experience doesn't really match that so far - I got...

So, I have this book, The Encyclopedia of Psychoactive Plants: Ethnopharmacology and Its Applications by Christian Rätsch, and it mentions that before the Bavarian Purity Law of 1516 (aka the Reinheitsgebot) which mandated that beer use hops as a bittering agent, people would just use any old...

I’m new to homebrewing and made a beer with ingredients I had left over from my previous brews. Any ideas as to what beer style this fits into? (4 lbs 12 oz Rahr 6 row), (2 lbs 13 oz pale malt, marris otter), (1 lbs Cara-pils/dextrine), (12.8 oz victory malt), (10.4 oz Munich malt), (9.6 oz...

I'm starting a mixed berry/fruit melomel and I wanted to documents its process, since I'm a little unsure how it's going to go. I'm trying out more technical processes for this batch (I've been very loose and guess-y for all my previous ones), though I'm still not following an existing recipe...

Hi. I want to make a porter or stout (or similar dark beer) with a heavy taste of smoke. A couple of years ago i tried a beer called Dunkle Macht by Landgang Brauerei in Hamburg, and I really enjoyed the combination of a dark porter and lots of smoke.

I was planning on doing a dragons milk reserve replica, and was wondering what you guys thought about putting stoopwaffels in the secondary. If so any ideas on cooking them?

I am getting married in three weeks, and I just now decided I want to serve a homebrewed beer at the reception. We already will have a keg of my sparkling hydromel (session mead), bottles of my blueberry wine at the tables, and a cooler of miscellaneous commercial beers. However, I have two more...

Hi, I made my first 100% beer, a Farmhouse ale inspired in this recipe. I'm planning to bottle next week, so I'll have a nice yeast cake fresh to use (I know there are discussions about this, but I've done it many times always succesfully). I guess the brett strain is B. claussenii, due to the...

So i just keged and carbonated my first own written recipe. I was looking for a fruity hop forward but still bitter Westcoast IPA. And now I have actually tasted the beer, it's just as bitter as I wanted it to be. But i get a grassy type of bitter taste to the beer and a really small almost not...

Hey all, a couple of things as I am new to brewing. I just finished a successful clone of Treehouse’s Julius and am working on my next batch. I want to clone #iSO from Pure which is probably my favorite brew and it’s few and far between as well since I live on the east coast. I have reached...

I posted this on Reddit a couple days ago but wanted to share here as well. Last year was my first year home brewing and I calculated that I spent far too much money than I should have. Most of my spending was on equipment but I wasn’t exactly efficiently purchasing ingredients either. This...

Anyone attempted a clone of SN’s Bavarian Lager “Skiesta”? It’s one of my favorite beers by them but it’s all but vanished this year. Wondering if anyone produced a recipe close to it? Sierra’s site claims they used: - Pilsner, Acid, Munich, Biscuit malts - Magnum, Spalt, Tradition hops -...
