I'm looking for a clone for Saugatuck Brewery's ESB Amber. Does anyone know of anything. I'm looking for all grain.

I have a 6 gallon batch if blueberry wine going right now. The OG was 1.090 and I've been stuck around 1.040 for a few weeks now. After about 3 weeks in the primary I took a hydro reading and decided to re-pitch. About 3 weeks later I had to re-pitch again. It's been about two week and I haven't...

Hello All, I have two 5 gallon batches I Blueberry wine. For the first batch, I pitched 71B. For the second, I am torn. I have two packets of D47 on hand, but I prefer dry wines. Do you think the D47 will dry it out, or should I try an ex-1118? Thanks!

This was my first caramel cider. Which is why the batch size is so small. It's a simple recipe to scale up. .25 lb Dark Crystal 2.0 oz Special B 1 gal of Orchard fresh pasteurized cider 1 Whirlfloc tablet @15 Ok, so I mashed the cider at 154F for 45 minutes. With this small amount...

Hey guys, hopefully this isn't a double post but my computer messed up. I just racked my IPA into the secondary and lost about 1 gallons to the trub (7oz hops) plus 1 oz dry hop. I wanted to avoid this event, so when I brewed my Vanilla Cream Ale yesterday, I siphoned the wort into the...

So here's my situation. I had an IPA with 7oz of hops. When I racked into the secondary, I lost about a gallon to the trub. So I just brewed a Vanilla Cream Ale yesterday, and my idea was to siphon the wort into the primary and leave the (2 oz) of hops and the remaining (undissolved) lactose...

Hey guys. My problem is pretty much in the title. My brew is cooling as we speak, and I thought I would sit down and type my recipe into my folder. I typed in Irish moss, and realized I never put it in the brew. I know that isn't the biggest problem in the world, but this is a light cream ale. I...

One of the HARDEST decisions of home brewing is of course, "What beer should I brew next." If thread should be used as list for reference. Just list: What type of beer. How many gallons. Have you brewed this in the past. Taste notes. Thank you all! I'll start. I currently have 3 gallons of...

Ok, so I'm sitting back reading the, "Broken Carboy" thread and it really gives me a headache! Here's some simple advice. The most common thing I read was "I use a carboy handle and I can see the stress fractures." Ok, fact #1: Carboy handles ARE NOT meant to move FULL carboys. They are for...

Howdy Beer nuts! It is about time to rack my very first all grain from the primary into the secondary. It is a chocolate milk stout. I know not everyone does a secondary with stouts, but I would like to. I'm not certain of the best way to siphon from a carboy to a fermenting bucket. My fear...

Hello all, My brewmie and I have a nice little system we just started going on in our basement. He does mead and wine, while I do beer. I used to do Mr. Beer kits and was incredibly disappointed every time. About two weeks ago I decided that enough was enough, I wanted to switch to all grain...
