Noob question here, When a recipe calls for 6 pounds of Dark LME would that also convert to 6 pounds of Dark DME? Is the DME vs LME just a preference or is the concentration of the extract different? If they are different is there a tool that will help me convert the measurements from one to...

Hey BM, I saw your breakdown for the extract batch and was hoping you could clarify something for me...How long and at what temp should I steep the car-pils at? Also would you recommend adding all the DME at the beginning of the boil or should I do half in the beginning and half at with about...

I have to concur with everyone here. I let this stuff ferment for 40 days, carb'd it up nice and slow and holy SHI*T it is good. I had three beers on tap and a party the other day and this beer was FAR and away the favorite! I have many requests to have this on tap all year!! It really is wonderful

Hi another newbie question here, Can I bottle Beer that has already been carbonated in a keg. I want to make room for another batch but don't want this beer to go to waste. Can I run tube from the tap the the bottom of a bottle and fill them up, then cap em'? I know I don't want to dump the...

WOW!! OK so i just let this age in the Keg a bit and now i love it! My wife loves it and I hate the M f'er Edwort! I had three glasses and woke up in the same spot 7 hours later with one hell of a headache! Time and patience was the only ingredients this needed

Thanks for all the great ideas! I think Im going to skip the clove and look at coriander instead, along with the zest of about 3 or 4 navel oranges. Hopefully the clove will come through with the yeast. I also read that Chamomile adds and excellent scent and flavor that blends well with this...

This is my first Hefe brew so i'm not sure how to accomplish the Clove flavor using the yeast. I usually ferment around 65-68 degree (the house temperature)I know that I wanted a the aroma and slight flavor of the clove and orange since ill be serving the beer near the holidays. Will the yeast...

Im looking at making a hefeweizen wheat beer. I have the ingredients to brew the basic beer but I want to add some fresh orange peel to the beer to get a feel similar to blue moon. On top of that i would like to add clove to get a holiday flavor and scent to the beer. I know all the steps to...

I took a stab at Edwort's Apfelwein recipe about 7 weeks ago. after 7 weeks in primary i transferred it into a keg and tasted it. I enjoyed the flavor, but others seem to think that its either to dry or bitter. I have no problem making it sweeter, but its already kegged and the carbonation is...

What kind of fermentation did you guys get with this recipe?? Its Thursday and I brewed this on Tuesday. After about 5 hours there was some slow bubbling in the 3 piece on top of the bucket, but that only lasted about 7 hours and since then its been very inactive. I pulled the 3 piece and peaked...

Congrats and welcome to a new obsession!

Thanks to the OP!! He/She put lots of time into their post, and I for one found it helpful.

im looking to brew my fourth beer and want to continue with extract before investing more money into all grain. Usually ill but the kits that have everything all packaged together, but this time i want to piece the ingredients together to make a recipe i found here . the ingredient list is as...

thanks to all for the replys... I cold crashed the beer, racked it into the keg and rolled the keg around at 35 psi for 2.5 minutes. I left it unhooked without bleeding the pressure for 24 hours. I blew off a little bit of the pressure from the keg then hooked up the CO2 for another 24 hours at...

I brewed a Honey Brown Beer extract kit from my local HBS and have been force carbing it for close to a week. I poured myself a small glass and thought that the beer was not carbonated at all until I took a sip and it seemed bubbly and felt fine. The beer just has little to no head on it at all...

Well i added a second keg to my keggerator, so I turned down the temp in the fridge since i'm force carbing and the CO2 goes into solution better the colder the beer is. a day later i went to pour off of the first keg that was in there and nothing happened. I picked up the keg to make sure it...

it will get another week! Thanks!

Sorry this is only my second batch and im getting nervous. I brewed a Honey Brown Ale Extract kit and today was 10 day in the primary, and I went to check the gravity....when I opened it up it had a slightly surfer / rotten egg smell when I was opening the lid and there was not much of a gunk...

hahah yea that was a typo on the hops, sorry about that! Thanks to you all again for some helpful info on the specialty malts. Once more question...what does the number stand for following the name of the malt ? IE. Crystal 20 <--- what does he 20 mean?

Hi again, and thanks to everyone for all the help along the way so far, but I need to lean on your expertise once again! I am looking at doing my first All Grain brew here in the future and I found a recipe that seems simple enough and will be good tasting,it should be a Belgian Saison...
