    Recipe Scaling - Increased efficiency?

    In an extract brewing world the speciality grains are steeped and provide colors/flavours without adding fermentable sugars. I can't see how 10-12oz of chocolate malt or roasted barley can provide the same color as a lb of it.

    Recipe Scaling - Increased efficiency?

    So I have been brewing on a brewzilla the past 5-6 years and have been getting 68% brewhouse efficiency. I recently bought a grainfather G40 and am getting 80+% efficiency, which is obviously a good thing. My problem now is converting my 5 gallon recipes like I enjoy in brewfather. In a 5 gal...

    Can someone buy/ship some Omega Bananza?

    I live in Canada and I contacted everyone and no one carries or is going to carry Omegas new Bananza yeast. Companies in the US will not ship it to me either.

    Gravity should be a bit higher due to the lactose, but that still seems a bit high. Maybe pitch the other half packet

    Mixed-Fermentation Sour Beer Really Easy Fruit Sour

    I have never brewed a sour beer, looking to try this with a bag of mixed berries (blackberry, blueberry, raspberry). My lhbs sell the wildbrew sour pitch for $24.99, but also sell the lallemand wildbrew philly sour for $7.99. Would the philly sour work in this method as well?

    Escarpment Labs "Krispy"

    Anyone use this yeast? Experiences/opinions? I have used omega hothead yeast and really enjoyed it. This yeast sounds right up my ally as I don't have great fermentation control

    Cream Ale..brownish?..Specialty grains?

    I am completely aware of what a classic cream ale is. That doesn't change thr fact that I keep seeing beers like this pop up and I really enjoy them as I drink a lot of reds/browns. As stated above 5 malts isn't just adding a small bit of chocolate.
