A year and 3 months ago or so I brewed my first Flander's Red basing my recipe mostly on The Mad Fermentationist wine barrel flander's recipe The Mad Fermentationist wine barrel flander's recipe. I mostly happy with the results, though I compared it side by side with Rodenbach Grand Cru and it...

I have some fresh bottled Bodhi, and will be picking up some fresh Roller Blabe this weekend (canning tomorrow). A handful of other Hoof Hearted beers are available in Crowlers around town, too. I can also get any other Ohio Distro. Looking for some East Coast style IPAs or some good sour...

I'm planning to brew an East Coast Syle IPA next week and was hoping to get some pointers before I fully commit (i.e. mash in). Take a gander at the recipe below - my goal is a handsomely cloudy (NOT murky) IPA that has that fruit explosion that you get from the East Coast type IPA. My main...

So I bought an ITC-1000F temp controller and got it all wired up last night following the instructions here: https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/pimp-my-system/build-temperature-controller/ I've checked and double checked and triple checked my wiring to make sure that I am following...

Looking for some feedback on a DIPA recipe I've come up with. Never brewed the style, but bought a pound of Wakatu hops and wanted to put them to good use. I've already used a chunk of them in a Vienna SMaSH that is currently being dry hopped, and I'm digging the aroma/flavor already. Here's...

I just popped open a can from what is becoming one of Ohio's top IPA brewers. Hoof Hearted - Roller Blabe. It's a delicious IPA that was just canned this past Sunday, and I figured "why should we hoard it all? Lets share it with the rest of the country" So - my offer is to trade some of my...

I brewed a Russian imperial stout back in the beginning of December. I pitched yeast at around 68-70, and put it in a room that sits at around 65. The next day when i checked in it, there was a good fermentation going and the fermometer read 77. I quickly made a swamp cooler and got the temp...

In the coming weeks I'm planning to brew the Russian Imperial Stout which appeared in October's BYO. It will be my first attempt at water chemistry and I would appreciate any tips/suggestions you may have! I would also appreciate if anyone could share a good water chemistry calculator with me...

Hey all. I'm getting married next summer and was planning on brewing a large portion, if not all of, the beer for the occasion. I was hoping to get some advice from some of you who may have some experience with such a task. First item - quantity. How much should I need? 150 guests, but wine...

So I brewed up a Tripel today and have some ingredients leftover that I was thinking I could throw together in a 1 gallon batch, but I'm looking for suggestions on what to brew. My leftovers: 10 oz. Munich Malt 0.6 oz. Fuggles Hops 0.2 oz. Liberty Hops I'm open to getting any...

So, 7 weeks ago I brewed my first Berliner Weisse. 4 weeks ago I split the batch - half went onto peaches, half went alone. Today I bottled both batches. The berliner by itself had no issues (I'm new, but I'm not that new!). The peach batch on the other hand had just about everything go...

So I decided recently to brew my first sour, a Berliner Weisse. This past Wednesday I went and made myself a lacto starter using hot water and some crushed grain. Put that mixture into a mason jar and left it covered with aluminum foil in a warm area (80-90). The first couple of days it...

So I recently brewed the AH Blue Moon Clone and was disappointed when I measured the FG as 1.005. OG was 1.053 and should have stopped at 1.012. Definitely tastes thin and watery. I mashed for 90 minutes at 151 which dropped to 149 by the end. Recipe called for a 150 mash. I've measure my...

I'm planning to brew a blonde ale for some easy Spring drinking and was hoping to get a good amount of citrus hop flavors in there. Please take a look at my recipe and give me some advice: Grain Bill: Pale 2-Row 9 lb. Caramel 10L 0.5 lb. Honey Malt 0.5 lb. Carapils 0.25 lb. Hops: 0.5...
