Just curious: why would you omit the honey malt? And why switch the Caramel? Also, I know the roasted barley is almost necessary to call a stout a stout but I wanted a very smooth stout on the sweeter side. A dessert beer.

For some reason stout recipes seem to be the hardest for me to get just right. Let me know if you see any red flags here! BeerSmith 2 Recipe Printout - http://www.beersmith.com Recipe: Heritage Stout Brewer: Bill Baxter Asst Brewer: Style: Oatmeal Stout TYPE: All Grain Taste: (30.0)...

Hello all, I have some old all-grain brewing equipment for sale in very good condition. I am willing to parse it out for the right price. I have a two orange igloo cooler setup for HLT and Mash/Lauter tun. Both have ball locks and the M/L tun has a stainless steel false bottom. They easily...

Hello again, brain trust! Could you guys take a look at this IPA recipe and let me know your thoughts? I threw the wheat malt in there to get a Lagunitas Little Sumpin Sumpin effect. My main question is what you think about the hop schedule. Would Centennial and Amarillo blend well or should I...

One final question as I look forward to brewing this recipe: I have never done a step mash before and I assume I will have to use a protein rest because of the flaked oats. Is there anything I should be aware of ahead of time? Tips and tricks?

Thanks for all the feedback guys. I just have one question: couldn't carafa II essentially replace the roasted barley?

Hello all. Just wanted the thoughts of the brain trust on an American Stout recipe I developed. 9 lb 2-row malt 1.5 lb caramel 60L 1 lb flaked oats 1 lb chocolate malt 12 oz Munich malt 8 oz carafa 2 60 minute mash at 156° F 1 oz Nugget (13%AA) @ 60 minutes 1.5 oz Willamete (4.8%AA) @ 5...

Pellet. The AA is 11% for Target and 4.75% for the Goldings. Those are average numbers though, not necessarily precise.

Hey guys here's my new hop schedule: .4 oz Target @60 min .6 oz Target @15 min .3 oz Kent Goldings @15 min 2 oz Kent Goldings @2 min Look better?

Why would they be wasted? Is there a maximum flavor/aroma yield?

Yes I think so. I figure that Goldings are generally fairly mild in flavor and aroma and I really wanted a unique aroma. I've never used Target hops but I heard they go quite well in small quantities with Goldings. I figure why not swing for the fences? :)

Hello all, I just whipped up a fairly simple English Pale Ale recipe and wanted to see what some of you think before I dive in and brew. I am relatively new to AG brewing so I wanted the opinions of experts! 60 minute mash, 60 minute boil. 9 lb Maris Otter 1 lb Caramel 40L .5 oz Target...

Hello all, I know the ruled thumb about mash temps is lower for longer yields a higher fermentable, thinner bodied wort while a high temp for shorter yields a more dextrinous, fuller bodied wort. My question is: what has your experience been with these varied temps? Have you found there to be a...

The OG was 1.048

One last question: Should I re-aerate the wort for pitching in the new yeast or is it still aerated enough from a couple of days ago?

Thanks very much for all the replies everyone! I'm headed out to my LHBS right now to get another smack pack and pitch it ASAP. Hopefully my pumpkin ale will survive without too many off flavors...

Hey all, A little worried because I pitched my Wyeast 1056 smack pack into wort that was 80° F and now a day and a half later there is no airlock activity. Did I mess up? Should I wait longer? Help a brother out!

Hello all, just a quick question regarding how to use leaf hops. Other than the roughly ten percent less efficiency compared to pellets, do I add them at the same time in the boil as their pellet counterparts?

Hello all! Does anyone have a good Prima Pils clone recipe? It might be a long shot but I thought I would try.
