    Can someone buy/ship some Omega Bananza?

    So I am looking to recreate a local beer. They produce this beer once in awhile but not continuously which doesn't make sense to me because it's delicious and they only sell one beer. Their flagship beer is a belgian pale ale and the golden ale has some similar flavours, but it doesn't seem to...

    Weyermann crystal malts srm (caraaroma)

    So I am working on getting the perfect red for my irish red, but I think what's killing me is that the large range of colors with crystal malts such as caraaroma (130-170srm). I realized beersmith had the malt in at 178srm which throw off my color when designing the recipe. Does anyone know if...

    Jarrylo Hopped Hefeweizen Recipe

    What do you guys think of using jarrylo (banana, pear, spice) all late hop additions with a banana/clove yeast?

    I am looking to do a saison and would like to use some fruity hops to mix with the yeast rather than the typical saaz or golding. Not really looking for bitterness as much as flavor.
