I'm putting together a recipe. Here is what I have so far.
8 gallon batch
12 Maris Otter
1.5 lbs rye malt
1lb aromatic malt
1lb Crystal Rye
1lb chocolate rye
1oz cenntenel @60
1oz cenntenel @15
1oz cenntenel @0
I've never used Crystal Rye or chocolate rye. Any advice?
I'm using this yeast for the 1st time. I have noticed a strong smell when I open my fermentation chamber. It's not sulfur I can't really put my finger on it. Anyone have the same experience?
I've been brewing for about 5 years now and I found my approach has changed. When I started I would brew a different recipe every time. About 3 year ago I started making my own recipes. That lead my to now brewing 1 style tweaking it until I get it right where I want it. Now I'm on to American...
I have 1st year Columbus plants and 3rd year Cenntenel plants. The past years the cenntenel have produced well. This year the vine look great and are 15ft tall but not hops at all. The Columbus plants are loaded. I'm lost any ideas?
I just got a kegel. I planning on doing some of the beers I have on tap all the time in 10 gallon batches. I'm a all grain brewer. Anything I should know when stepping up from 5 gallon batches.
Just got a kegel and plan on doing some 10 gallon batchs. I have a few beers I brew often and those are the ones that I will stepping up. Anything I should know when stepping up batch sizes?
I have been trying to come up with a solid brown ale. Sometimes I to make my house ale. Something like pig's ear brown.
I'm thinking
80% maris otter
5% amber malt
6% brown malt
5% c60
4% pale chocolate
I like all of these malts just not sure how they will be together. Any thoughts?
I was thinking of adding some cascade hops at flameout to Northern Brewer's caribou slobber kit. Has anyone ever tried this? If so how did it turn out. Thanks
I'm putting together a English Brown ale. I was thinking about using 10% brown malt. I really haven't used brown malt that often and I'm not sure if that will over power the beer in that quonity. Any advice? Thanks
I have a recipe that call for light carastan. But I local homebrew shop can't get it. I was thinking caramunich as a substitute. Not sure how close it will be. Any advice
I haven't used any Belgian strains so this maybe a silly question. Do I need to treat them as a sour strain when it comes to equipment? Meaning separate equipment so it doesn't infect other brews. Thanks
