I am currently fermenting a brew with these yeast, and unlike what I've read here, I don't get any sulphur at all. In fact, I get an awesome smell which is sweet slightly peppery with definitely pear and even some cinnamon (although this could partly come from the fact that I have thrown in...

Mine turned out fine in the end. In the beginning the balance was a bit off, with a lot of chocolate/coffee flavor, but for the rest a very dry, low body stout, but now a few months later it is much more balanced. I am going to try this recipe again with a more base malts.

I made my first attempt at a Belgian-style Dubbel the other day, creating the following recipe from the stuff I had at hand (didn't have any candi sugar, so I know it's not perfect) for 4.5 gallons: 51% 4 10 Belgian Two-row Pale 33% 3 0 Briess DME Golden Light 5% 0 8 Weyermann...

My first brew is conditioning now, but since it is my first, I open and drink a bottle once every few days just to see how it develops. Two weeks now, already opened 6 bottles and it is starting to taste like something. This way I'll probably finished most of it before it reaches its peak, but...

Grains: 9 lbs 2-row pale malt 3 oz 100L Crystal Malt Hops: First wort - 0.5oz - Saaz - pellet 60 min - 0.5oz - Saaz - pellet 30 min - 0.75oz - Saaz - pellet 10 min - 0.5oz - Saaz - pellet dry hop - 0.5oz - Saaz - pellet (10 days) My very first beer, kept it very simple. The Nottingham...

Thanks, I brewed yesterday, got an o.g. of 1.049 out of it. I wondered about the cascades as well, but my last beer was all saaz, and I never used cascades so I'd thought to give it a try. Since I am in China I also threw in some sichuan pepper corns, which has a nice citrus-like spiciness...

I am sure I am not the first one to get this idea, because it's damn tasty, but a search on this forum gave me no results so I hope I am not the only one who is doing this: What is better after a brewing day than a cup of hot wort with whisky? (great use for the wort you used for the...

I have very limited access to brewing ingredients where I am, and I made up the following recipe from the stuff that I have at hand. It will be the second beer that I make, the first was an all pale hopped with saaz that turned out pretty delicious, but now I would like to make an ale with a...

Ah, that's a good suggestio,thanks I only have a small toaster oven though, don't if that would that work,but will look into it and try! Yeast I have, Safale 04, Safale 05, Nottingham and Cooper's.

Since I am in a country with no real homebrewing culture yet, I am struggling to find ingredients. Through a local brewer I can get 2-row pale malt and 100L crystal malt (so I am brewing all grain) , and now I am wondering what styles of beer I could make with only these two ingredients...
