Howdy everyone! Some again, same guy who posted about the chocolate stout. Thanks by the way, I drew up an awesome recipe. Any who, I’ve received horrible news that Honker’s Ale by Goose Island has been discontinued as of last year. It’s one of my all time favorite beers. That being said, I now...

Hey everyone! It’s been a little while since I’ve been on and a little while since I’ve brewed. Recently I’ve had my first son and I’m pretty thrilled about it. That being said, I want to brew a chocolate imperial stout (or even just a regular stout) and age it for about a year and drink it on...

Hi everyone, I’m looking for about 5 great stouts to try for inspiration to start brewing my own recipe. My go-to and favorite beer is Guinness Draught, but I also do love Guinness Extra Stout. I live in Missouri, and any recommendations would be great. Thanks!

Howdy! Im wanting to make a Hershey’s chocolate porter but I’m not sure where to start. I am a big fan of pale ales so that’s typically what I tend to brew. However, I do love a good porter. I was wondering how I would go about getting the flavor of a Hershey’s chocolate bar into my beer? Would...

Howdy, I was researching online to find out more information and history Tropical Pale Ales. Could anyone tell me about their origins? Like when Tropical Pale Ales first began to come around? I’ve studied Pale Ales a lot and I can’t find anything. Also, would Tropical Pale Ales be a sub class of...

Howdy all, it’s me for the 3rd time today! I’m a 1 gallon brewer (for right now) and my question is: could I cold crash my carboy in a 5 gallon bucket filled with ice? It’s been about 30s-40s here in Missouri, and I’m wondering if I did this and left it for 24 hours constantly checking on it, if...

So I’ve been looking into increasing my beer clarity and I’ve heard quite a bit about Irish moss. But I’ve also heard quite a bit about unflavored gelatin. With the unflavored gelatin, when would I add that and would my beer need to be cold crashed with it/ refrigerated for it to work? I know...

So, I pitched the yeast for this Belgian Golden Ale recipe on 03/30, switched it to a second fermentation chamber on 04/08. Fermentation started on 04/01, and it’s still fermenting. It’s been in active fermentation for 15 days. Is that normal? For all my other batches of beer fermentation has...

Howdy, one of my favorite things to do is read and study about the history of beer. Style origins, fun facts, how beer styles were influenced by events in history...etc. I was wondering if anyone had any beer facts/trivia to share? I have a good one to start the thread off: India Pale Ales...

Howdy everyone, my question is how do home brewers add peel to their wert? An example would be how blue moon is brewed with orange peels. I’ve been working on a pale ale recipe for a little bit, I posted about it yesterday for hop feedback. I think it would be cool to brew a pale ale with ruby...

Howdy, I’m new to homebrewing. I’ve brewed 3 different kits but I want to make my own pale ale recipe. I’ve read “The Beer Bible” and “How To Brew” for good background knowledge. I’m concidering using brewer’s gold as the bittering hop, but I’m unsure about what to use for the aroma hop. I want...
