Comments and suggestions welcome. I'm looking for an IPA that has a wonderful piney hop aroma with some fruit in there also. It should have a nice malt backbone that gives way to an almost over the top bitterness, followed by the awesome flavors associated with Citra and Amarillo... 5.5...

I recently did my first partial mash, using: 5 LBs Briess Pale Ale Malt .5LBs Briess Crystal 60 4 LBs Briess Light DME (Collected 3.7ish Gal of wort) I wanted to see what efficiency I got out of the mash. So I took a preboil gravity of just the wort that was mashed. I took the...

I recently ordered ingredients for a American Pale Ale recipe that I came up with. I, however, forgot to order my 1 LB of Crystal 20. I only have the 6.6 lbs of Golden Light LME from Breiss. I know, it's fine, BUT any experience on how just straight extract beer tastes like? I don't think...

I am going to be using dogfish heads blood orange hef recipe. Should I add the fruit before the vigorous fermentation or wait until its over and drop it in? I thought about doing half before and half after. Thoughts?

I was wondering how I can convert the grain bill here to an extract brew to get the right color, feel, ABV, so on and so forth. Any ideas? By the way, it's the Two Brothers Cane and Abel Red Rye recipe. (from one of the brothers himself) Pils Munich 3% Crystal 10 8% Rye 12% Crystal Rye...
