I'm brewing a honey red wheat beer tomorrow and had a question about when to add the 1.5 lbs of wildflower honey. Should I add it after I mash and pull the bag (BIAB) out, right before I start my boil? I emailed the company and they haven't responded back. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I recently purchased an all grain saison kit (link is posted below) from Jasper's. The directions call to add 1/2 lb. of light candi sugar to the kettle, but doesn't tell you when to add it. Does anyone know when I should add the candi sugar to the boil? At the beginning of the boil (60 mins)...

I was wondering if you guys thought it would be a good/bad idea to add 4oz of coffee (at flameout) and 4 oz cacao nibs (add a week before bottling to primary after fermentation is finished) to the below oatmeal stout recipe from Jasper's. I'm kind of new to all grain brewing and didn't know if...

I just finished brewing Northern Brewer's Chocolate Milk Stout (all grain) and finished with an O.G of 1.060. The directions have an O.G of 1.049. I was wondering what this means in regards to efficiency and my finished beer. This is my 3rd all grain experience and still new to the numbers of...

I tried my pumpkin ale today (10 days after brew day) and it is a little weak in the spice department. I was told that you'll lose a lot of spice flavor during fermentation. How should I add more pumpkin pie spice? Should I add it to my primary for a couple of days or add before bottling? I...

I tried posting this in the recipe/ingredients section but no one responded. So, I figured I would try this section. I'm making Northern Brewers all grain Smashing Pumpkin Ale and wanted to add some cinnamon sticks to the boil. My questions are: 1) How many cinnamon sticks (about 4 inches...

Has anyone used or heard about the Avantco IC3500 Countertop Induction Range / Cooker? Unfortunately, I have to do all my brewing indoors and I have a flat top stove. I can get about 3 gallons of wort to a slow boil, but takes 30 minutes. I was hoping that this range/cooker would bring 5...

My recipe calls for 3/4 ounce Mt. Hood bittering pellet hops. I picked up 1 ounce and was wondering if I should use the full ounce or scale back to the recommended 3/4 ounce. How will it change the flavor? It's an extract kit if that matters. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew
