Hi folks, Any suggestions on what (if anything) I should be adding to my water? I'm not having any particular issues - just looking for the next variable to tinker with I guess. I'm doing mostly 5 gallon batches BIAB full volume mash. Here's my city's water report...

I've been thinking of ways to encourage myself to play around with new ingredients. I thought this might be fun :) 1) Name a grain (or other fermentable). 2) The next person gives the quantity (in lbs.) of that grain. Then they give their own. 3) This continues until someone decides we've...

My father is retiring in 8 weeks and I thought I would brew him a batch of beer to celebrate. He enjoys Smithwicks and Guiness so I was thinking something in that vein. From chatting with him I think he enjoys roasty flavor - but I decided to split the dark portion of the bill between roast...

Hi everyone - I apologize if this recipe question is in the wrong sub forum. Please correct me if I should be posting elsewhere. I'm about to attempt my second partial mash. After the first attempt (results still pending) I decided I needed some practice with the process before attempting...

Hi folks. Earlier this summer I decided it would be nice to have a wheat beer on hand to enjoy the nice weather (summer is pretty short where I call home). After doing some reading, I decided to attempt a partial mash to get the most out of my wheat. Recipe is as follows: 2 lbs German...

Hi everyone - firstly, thank you to all the regular contributors. I've been lurking for the last year or so, gaining all kinds of great knowledge, and thus far I've managed to "relax, don't worry, have a homebrew" sufficiently that I haven't felt the need to post! I started brewing after...
