    Cluster Hops

    I made a hop tea to get a sense of aroma, taste and bitterness. The aroma was kind of floral but not pronounced and it was exceedingly bitter. I will plan on a one gallon recipe and will just do a 15 minute brew and if not happy with the taste will just use them for bittering. FYI there are...

    Cluster Hops

    I am getting ready to harvest my hops and am looking for a good ale or ESB recipe. I got the plant from my Dad who said it was from the old commercial hop fields when he was a kid and thought it was named Cluster. I know Cluster is mainly know as a bittering hop but I may try it as a small one...

    Hello from California!

    Welcome from another Golden state small brewer. I mainly make small 1 gallon to 2.5 gallon batches. I use Brewers Friend program to easily scale down recipes as math is not my forte. HAPPY brewing!

    Has anyone used Aronia (Black Chokeberry)?

    I haven't used it for a beer but a friend from my brew group turned 20 pounds I grew into wine for me but I'm just not a wine person. I used the other 20 pounds to make jam for Christmas presents. I am planning to add some of my honey berries in secondary on a wit or a sour.

    Ingredient Question: Dark Crystal 350

    Most of the recipes on Brew Dog DIY list Dark Crystal or Extra Dark Crystal but several of them list Dark Crystal 350 wasn't sure if that meant regular dark crystal or not. Reading through other recipes for their stouts they list chocolate malt in ingredients so it is probably just regular dark...
