I've been brewing for a few years now, but because the SWMBO isn't a hop fan haven't gotten a chance to brew many IPAs. She's focused on watching what she drinks over the summer, so I saw this as the ideal time to brew something that won't tempt her to cheat and have a beer. Because I'm a great...

First time brewing with rye so i thought i'd hit up the experts at HomeBrewTalk for a critique of this recipe: Witbier with Rye 5 gallon all grain brew OG: 1.051 SG FG: 1.015 SG IBUs: 13.9 Color: 3.7 SRM 3.5lbs - white wheat malt (2.4 SRM) 3.5 lbs - Bel 2-row pilsner malt (2.0 SRM) 12 oz -...

I'm a bit rusty at this so I thought I'd reach out for some input. Use to be an avid homebrewer (4-5 brews a year) until about a year and a half ago when my wife & I moved to FL and I quickly realized there was no dark, cool basement to store my fermentation bucket in! We finally have our own...

I've slowly been building the equipment to switch over to all grain brewing and now thanks to Christmas, I'm all set to brew up my first all grain batch! I've been interested in trying an ESB recipe for awhile now, and am fascinated by the idea of SMaSH beers to help me better understand...

I've been extract brewing for a year or so and decided to treat myself for my birthday to not only BeerSmith 2.0 but also an AG set up with a 10 gallon igloo cooler and a 7.5 gal kettle to handle 5 gal boils. Decided that my first attempt would be a nice, malty, drinkable ESB. However, I've...

Is it possible to partial mash a small amount of base malts to add to an extract recipe? I'm a few extract recipes into my homebrewing obsession (poor girlfriend got it as a valentines day gift last year thinking it would yield her more free beer :mug: ), and I honestly hadn't considered...

Hi guys, I'm still fairly new to the home brewing game (did my first extract ingredient kit back in May). After 2 successes with the ingredient kits off of Midwest Supplies, I got cocky and wanted to try my hand at developing my own recipe for a Pumpkin Stout, which didn't turn out as well as...

I'm prepping my third extract brew (a Pumpkin Stout), and after successfully pulling off 2 ingredient kit recipes (an Irish Stout, and a Belgian Witbier respectively) I've decided to challenge myself and develop my own recipe and purchase my own ingredients instead of having a paint by numbers...

Hello everyone, Long time micro-brew supporter, first time brewer here from the Land of Pleasant Living - Baltimore, MD! The Girlfriend surprised me with a Midwest Brewing Beginners Beer Kit for Valentines Day (just another of the many signs that this one is a keeper), and after a few...
