Making a spring beer, trying some new stuff. I like the orange and coriander in belgians and european wheat beers and all that, but I'm kinda sick of that tart, wit, yeast taste. Im gonna brew up basically a wheat beer with coriander and orange, and ferment it with american ale yeast and use...

Anyone still looking at this, I've had some time to mess with this a little bit and have brewed it a few times, I find the beer does come out better from hopping at 60/15/5. I also have lowered the Crystal 10 down from 1lb to 8oz and it turned out great. Also first time around I fermented at...

Looking for some feedback on an oatmeal stout I'm planning on brewing. I'm getting better at making my own recipes but I'm always open and looking for advice. Recipe - Extract OG - 1.055 FG - 1.014 IBU- 38 SRM-29 ABV-5.3% 6.6 Lbs Light LME 1.5 Lbs Flaked Oatmeal 8 oz Chocolate Malt 6 oz...

Havent been checking this much sorry, but it turned out pretty good. I tend to like more floral, 'west coast' tasting hops so it was a little different than what im used to since this was only my second IPA. The simcoe overpowered the cascade so if I had to do it again I'd probably switch the...

Cascade Pale Ale 4Lbs US 2-Row 1lb Crystal 10 8oz CaraPils 3.3 Lbs Light LME 1oz Cascade @ 60 1oz Cascade @ 15 1oz Cascade @ 2 Boil For 60 minutes For Extract Sub out the 4 lbs of 2 row with 3.3 lbs of Light LME making 6.5ish Lbs total

Chiming back in on this.. I bottled the cascade pale ale and strong ale I mentioned earlier, after fermenting at 68 and leaving them both for a month in the primary. Both of these beers taste better than any beer I've made, straight out of the bucket with no carbonation. Im assuming it was...

Ok.... So I just brewed up a porter... I worked pretty hard on the recipe... mash temps worked out perfect, the boil was awesome... everything was going as planned... then after pitching my yeast... while putting the airlock in the top of my bucket...... the rubber seal in the lid fell out! into...

I have used it once with the first kit I made but don't remember when it was boiled. I'm just gonna go for it and see how it goes.

Welp, if anyone cares I tested different things and put a recipe together on some software and came up with the final recipe. I'm going with: 6lbs Light LME 4lbs US 2-Row 1lb Crystal 40L 1oz Simcoe @60 1oz Cascade @15 .5oz Simcoe @5 .5 oz Simcoe @0 6.2% ABV 81 IBUs (Im a bit of a hop head so...

And I just looked at that brew calculator, thats awesome! I've been looking but most things I find require me to pay or download something so thats awesome!! thanks!

I get ya. I suppose I'll ditch the carapils and consider dropping the crystal 40 down to 12oz, and I'll have to check what he carries for DME sizes but im not opposed to using dry, so I'll definitely look into that, thanks man

Hmmm. Alrighty I'll go with the other hop schedule and ditch the 40 minute. The crystal 40 is 15% of my 5.5lb grain bill but im also using light LME.. which would up the 2 row and drop the crystal 40 down to about 7 or 8% of the malt.. if that makes sense? maybe not.. anyway my LHBS sells LME by...

Incase your wondering, I have all my ingredients and am brewing this up on Tuesday. My final recipe was: 4lbs Light LME 4lbs US 2-Row 8 oz Chocolate Malt 8 oz Black Malt 1 lb Crystal 60L 1 oz of Willamette that I'll be adding at 60 1 oz of Fuggle that I'll be adding at 5 5.5%ABV and 34 IBU and...

Damn that was fast. I'm not sure about my tap water but I have two primaries right now that I kept cool during fermentation and I will age for a few more weeks, then bottle condition longer since I can't take the tap water out obviously :rolleyes: and hopefully this will fix my problem... I do...

Hello, I have been brewing for a few months and have made about 3 or 4 beers so far... and I have noticed a pattern in my beers... they all have a funny, bitter, off taste to them. I know there are millions of threads about this and that and green beer but I want opinions on my specific...

Awesome man! I'll be brewing sometime this week. I'll post on how it goes when I start drinking em.

Awesome! I like my porter to be fairly dark, but I may switch out the dark lme to light lme. I planned on doing 1 oz of willamette at 60 and 1 oz of fuggle for the last 2. Im guessing I should up the willamette to 1.5 or 2 oz to get more bitterness. What did you use to get everything charted out...

I am making my first recipe opposed to doing kits as I have done in the past. I haven't experimented much and am wondering if this porter recipe will have enough base malt and hops to balance out the specialty grains. It is a partial mash btw. Porter 3 lbs Dark LME 4 lbs American 2-row 8...
