We got a brewery in Columbus called Hoof Hearted that brews a lot of hazy IPAs. They all just taste like orange or grapefruit juice to me. I don't get the hype.

5 Schwarzbier + 5 Kolsch + 5.5 Dry Irish Stout = 22167.5 gallons

Nice. Thanks a lot. There isn't really a hybrid option on Brewer's Friend.

So I plan on making a schartzbier with Wyeast 2124 with warmer than lager temperatures. My basement's ambient temp is 60 degrees, so if i cool it to around 58 and that will hopefully keep the peak temperature down to 62-63 degrees. My question is do I use a lager pitch rate or an ale pitch rate...

Hmmm maybe this explains their head brewer Todd Haug leaving for 3 Floyds.

Just brewed this yesterday. I read on a couple sites on how I should add the coffee and I decided to cool the wort to 200 and steep the coffee for 5 minutes and remove it. I melted the baking chocolate and added it right before the wort came to a boil. The wort smelled delicious with a faint...

brewersfriend.com I've used it since I've started all grain brewing and it's helped a lot. The mash calculator and the recipe builder are very useful.
