ingredients

Hello Everyone, I don't post much so thought I would get your thoughts on an Experiment I am doing on a Hop House 13 inspired IPL (If thats even a thing). Please forgive the Celsius and Fahrenheit deviations, my system runs on Celsius and my cooler runs on Fahrenheit. Grain Bill: 3 KG...

Hello, I’ve been looking at Firestone Walker Jack Wookey Black IPA clones lately. Some of the clones recipes list “wookey dust” under malts. Is this a made up ingredient like a joke? I can’t find much information on what it is.

Hey all, a couple of things as I am new to brewing. I just finished a successful clone of Treehouse’s Julius and am working on my next batch. I want to clone #iSO from Pure which is probably my favorite brew and it’s few and far between as well since I live on the east coast. I have reached...

Hi guys, I used to make mostly wine and cider quite a few years back (about 8 to 10) and I got really busy and stopped. Now I'm looking to start back up and still have quite a bit of ingredients/additives. I was wondering if I should toss everything and start over or are some things still okay...

Im most likely going to try a half gallon experimental batch with butter rum flavored Lifesavers melted down, honey, water, and yeast. Has anyone ever attempted using hard candies? I'm afraid it'll be rocket fuel when it's done but I really want to make a Butterbeer (like from Harry Potter). Any...

We picked up a Dragonfruit today to just try it and the thing has a very mild, floral flavor. Anyone have any experience with this fruit in primary or secondary, particularly in cyser or mead?

For most homebrewers, the process begins and ends in their brewing area, and whatever goes into their beer comes from their friendly neighborhood homebrew supply shop or their favorite online retailer. While there is nothing wrong with that-- it’s a system that serves countless happy homebrewers...

I would love to hear everyone's story on how they switched from brewing kits to creating their own recipes. I eventually want to brew my own recipes but don't know where to start. Thanks!

I had the inspiration to concoct a tea beer recipe from scratch after watching a youtube video that suggested to avoid green tea due to it giving off too much bitterness (). My previous batch made from scratch with Vanilla beans, Honey, and butternut Squash had great results except for too high...

Ok, I'm getting ready to ease back into fermenting. I've got some equipment from seven years ago when I made some mead but just dumped the additives and chemicals. I also dumped a bunch of very nasty smelling rubber bungs. I've got hydrometers a some racking canes and a few other items so I...

PBW (and Starsan) are no longer available in the EU. This situation may be resolved by the importer but existing stocks are running very low at the usual online stockists. I am personally getting close to the bottom of my tub of PBW and may have to mix my own from ingredients I can get on ebay...

I wanted to brew my first beer soon. I was thinking of the following ingredients. I was wondering if I could seek some help selecting the right ingredients. Where I'm at, I am somewhat limited in the choice of ingredients. 1) Dry malt extract 2) Red Wine yeast or Dry wine yeast: I plan to brew...

Hello everyone. My very first brew is a maple porter. It's a kit I got for Christmas. Anyway, the directions say to add the syrup 5 days into fermentation and swirl the carboy. I'm brand new, but what I've read suggests that may be late to disturb the yeast causing off flavors. It calls for only...

I'm currently brewing a smores stout which I came up with by tweaking a chocolate stout extract recipe. Added Graham crackers to mash which is the only change from original recipe so far. Just transferred to secondary last week and have noticed a white film settling on top of the beer. I'm...

Hey, I‘ve decided to make Root Beer from scratch but my recipe doesn’t tell me whether to use dried or fresh wintergreen leaves. I bought a wintergreen plant and I’m growing it in my garden. Would you recommend drying the leaves before putting it into the RB mixture or just using the fresh...

Hello fellow brewers! I am going to get serious and brew some GF beer real soon. I've got my own equipment but it's been awhile. Last season I tried somewhat of a Sorghum Ale with coco nibs and it tasted like a grapefruit. Big fail. I'll be poking through the forums looking for suggestions on...

Hey everyone! I am new to the group and scene of Homebrewing but wanting to get some advice firstly. I am looking to start brewing in connection with a group of volunteers who collect unwanted/surplus food from companies who would have thrown it out. They are doing a great job but have to...

So, I am new-ish to brewing. I have only been at it in earnest for about a year, and have about 11 brews under my belt. I brew extract kits at present, but am looking to venture out. I have heard brewing can be cheaper by buying ingredients separately rather than kits; however, in pricing a...

We just received a limited number of Amarillo whole leaf hops that we are selling by the pound. Come get some : http://www.farmhousebrewingsupply.com/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=268 Cheers, John
