I'm planning out my first recipe, which is going to be similar to Northern Brewer's "Dead Ringer IPA" but hopefully with a little fruity mango flavor for a good friend of mine as a gift. Not a very complex recipe since it's my first and I'm very much a beginner brewer but here it is: Caramel...

I'm planning out my first recipe, which is going to be similar to Northern Brewer's "Dead Ringer IPA" but hopefully with a little fruity mango flavor for a good friend of mine as a gift. Here's the recipe: Caramel 40L- 1lb Golden Light LME- 9.15lbs Centennial- 1 oz @ 60 min Centennial- 1...

I am in the process of making my first recipe right now and I'm planning on it being a Mango IPA, as a gift for a friend of mine (although I'm sure I'll keep some for myself) who likes IPA's a lot and absolutely loves mangoes. I plan to dry hop it along with actual mango. I know the mango flavor...

I am starting to think about what I want to do for my second brew and I was considering trying to do a fruit beer for my drinking buddy who loves mangoes. From reading it seems most people add the fruit to their secondary and rack on top of it. I have 2 6.5 gallon buckets: my primary...

Hi all, I already posted a couple times to ask about my first brew which is now fermenting but realized I never introduced myself. I'm in North Jersey (don't seem to be any good brew stores around here) but go to school in Pennsylvania in the Lehigh Valley area. I'm very excited about picking...

I finally got my first batch boiled and in the fermenter (plastic bucket) tonight. It's a True Brew American Wheat beer kit. My only problem was that I really underestimated how hard the wort was to cool and it ended up taking probably at least an hour if not more and I pitched the yeast at...

Hey so I am about to start my first brew within the next few days (I'll be making an American Wheat using the True Brew ingredient kit) and have a bunch of super newbie questions. I apologize if these have been answered on here before as many probably have but please bear with me... 1) First...

So I am very new to brewing, haven't even made my first one yet but have been reading up. I got a container of B-Brite with my equipment kit but there's clearly some controversy as to whether that can be used as a sanitizer or not. Well I don't really feel like ordering and waiting for Starsan...
