I hear so many stories and brewing Tips about Homebrew in other parts of the world. Last year Jamil was invited to visit Brewers in S. Korea and Japan and i was fascinated to hear about his trip the the people/breweries he met. Would be cool if the Brewing Network did a show to talk about how...

Hey all, If you find yourself settling in Taiwan, traveling through Taiwan or have friends in Taiwan, tell them there is a thriving community of HomeBrewers. Check out the bi-lingual page on Facebook called Home Brew Maniacs. There is a big supplier there who also supplies into China and...

Hi all, I am helping my buddy put together a new dark beer recipe and was wondering if this grain bill would be considered a Stout, Porter or just a generic dark ale? If you can help and lend your thoughts we would appreciate it. Also, we were going to use EK Goldings but don't have enough...

Hi Everybody I occasionally see recipes from companies like Castle Malting and Fermentis Yeast. In these recipes they give instructions to perform multistep mashing on modified grains(2-Row only). Anyone know why they would give these instructions? Are they trying to get you to produce a more...

A buddy of mine called me to say his new batch of beer, only 3 gal is stopped at 1.023 after 4 days in the carboy. He used S-04 I first told him he should not test FG for at least 7-10 days after pitching the S-04. His grain bill was weird, he used only 2 kg of Munich in his mash and I don't...

Hi all Did my first Wit inspired by Jamil's Blanche Oreiller minus the Munich and Chamomile. So I suppose this doesn't count as a clone. I decided not to use the Munich, just didn't seem a fit for a traditional Wit. Maybe I will give the Munich a shot another time. After 9 days in the...

Hi fellow brewers, So I have read and re-read the many blogs and posts about making Belgian Candi Sugar at home and I still can't seem to get the sugar/cream of tartar solution to not crystallize. I dilute the table sugar in a small amount of water, add a pinch of Cream of Tartar and raise...

Just finished my first Saison batch and hope to use this as a baseline to make improvements. It was just a small batch as a test. The attached BeerSmith photo is nearly exactly how I put it together. The taste of the wort seems a little on the light side and is dry, but won't know until the...
