    AHS Smokin' Hot Blonde

    Has anybody made the all grain version of this beer? If so, could you share the recipe? I would like to try it, but don't really want 5 gallons of it. I'd like to scale it down to 2-3 gallons.

    Can a pot be too big?

    I am in the transition phase of going from extract brews to all grain, and probably the BIAB method. Right now I only do 5 gallon batches, but I hope to do 10 in the future on occasion. If I got a 20 gallon kettle now when only doing 5 gallon batches, are there any negatives to having such a...

    Grain crushing for BIAB vs AG?

    I am trying to decide if I want to move to all grain using the more traditional method and a 50 quart cooler or all grain as BIAB. I have read that a finer crush is desired for BIAB because of increased efficiency and the smaller crush is still filtered by the bag. I emailed Austin Homebrew to...

    Extract to AG conversion IBU calculation?

    I made the extract Falconer's Flight IPA from AHS last year. I just got BeerSmith 2 and did a conversion of that recipe to an AG recipe to see how the grain bill was estimated. The extract recipe I entered I to BeerSmith was pretty accurate as far as the ABV, which was right on or maybe off by...

    Am i modifying this porter too much?

    I bought a Vanilla Porter extract kit and I wanted to make some adjustments to it. First I wanted to add toasted pecans during secondary fermentation (this is the primary modification I want to make). Then I was thinking of adding some bourbon to half the batch. The last thing I was thinking...

    Should my beer look like this?

    I made the AHS Anniversary Blonde extract brew today and it was the first time I used Whirfloc tablets. Is that what it is supposed to look like, or did something go wrong? It just looks like a lot to settle in just the sample I used to take the gravity reading. If this is normal, how much...

    Should I add or change my dry hops?

    I'm planning on brewing the extract AHS Anniversary IPA (AHS Anniversary IPA), but I was thinking about adding/changing the dry hops and maybe the 5 minute flavor/aroma hops. I emailed AHS and they wouldn't tell me amounts of hops, but the Summit hops are added at 60 minutes and the Zythos at...

    Flavor gone from IPA

    I made the extract Falconer's Flight IPA from AHS and just before bottling it had a strong grapefruit flavor, stronger than I would have liked. Even though it was strong, the description said it was citrusy and that grapefruit was one of the flavors so I was happy I made it to taste like it was...

    Am I at risk for bottle bombs?

    I'm brewing the Falconer's Flight extract from AHS. It has been a fairly slow ferment and today is day 15 (brewed 12/8 ). On day 11 my son accidentally knocked off the airlock in the primary fermenter (6.5 gal bucket), so not knowing how much CO2 escaped and how much oxygen got into the...

    Dry hopping with pellets

    I plan on brewing Saturday and it will be my first time to dry hop. I bought leaf hops because I misunderstood an email response from AHS that wasn't clear and after receiving my package today, I see they include hops for dry hopping with the kit. However they are in pellet form and not leaf...

    New brewer questions about dry hopping and clarifying

    I am about to brew my second batch. It will be the Falconer's Flight IPA from Austin Homebrew. They do not include any hops for dry hopping in the kit so I bought some Cascade hops to dry hop. Since the Falconer hops are the only hops used for the boil, will using Cascade hops be okay for dry...
