Has anyone used these new-ish french hops? Care to share your experience with them? I've got 4oz on the way from YVH and I'm thinking a hoppy black saison.

Well folks... The journey had just begun! I've been scoping out craigslist for a long time now, not much has shown up of value in the NH/MA area...until today! Today I found a mostly full CO2 tank, regulator, and some couplings for $75! I think that's a good deal? Those are ball lock...

I've always had trouble with stout/porter recipes, as they vary so widely from light to heavy and varying levels of sweetness and roast. I'm trying to make a nice robust tasting stout(similar in "robust-ness" to Smuttynose robust Porter). 10lb Maris Otter 1lb Chocolate Malt 8oz Dark Crystal...

Went to pick up Pilsner malt and a couple ounces of styrian gouldings, bust stumbled upon these! With almost a 1/5 acid ratio, I had to check it out. I plan on making a decent sized saison, 1.060 hoping to get down to 1.006. All Pilsner malt. Does anyone have any recommendations or...

Unfortunately I lost someone very dear to me last night, my cat buster. I've had some good cats, but he was in a league of his own. I want to create a beer to drink in his memory. He was a lovely orange color, so at first I thought a red/amber ale. But that would be too dark, I'm thinking...

I enjoyed my first batch of Skeeter Pee, but I feel like it could have used some more of that fantastic lemon aroma! I think my plan should work, but let me know if I'm crazy. I bought about 25 lemons and zested and squeezed them. Got a little over 2 cups of fresh juice, and made up the...

So I was enjoying my first Saison Dupont, I fell in love and boiled up some extract, dumped it in a sanitized jar, let it cool and dumped the last half inch of beer into the jar. I know this yeast is available commercially but I figured why not. So two days later, there's about a quarter...

Any fellow brewers in londonderry? Don't know why I never had the thought to ask! :mug:

So my buddy recently had this combination on a cupcake out in Portland, and claimed that is was incredible. He also wants to get into brewing, so I told him that we could work on the concept of a blueberry basil blonde(or maybe wheat) while I show him the ropes of brewing. We plan to make...

Last night I was brewing under the influence, doing an partial boil extract batch. It was an American Amber. So here's the mistake...I don't think I topped it up enough! It looks a little low, around 4.5gal instead of 5. What can I expect from this? A little higher gravity brew and some...

So, I just moved up to BIAB from extract with grains. For my first brew I wanted to do something incredibly simple and a SMASH Pale Ale sounded like a great idea. I just aquired an 11g pot so I assume you can BIAB at least 12lbs. One note: I have no idea what I'm doing with hop amounts as...

So, my girlfriend loves cherries, I mean LOVES cherries. I was thinking of brewing her up her own special cherry beer, with multiple layers of cherry flavor. Specifically I want to incorporate the cherry's versatility into this brew as well, but the addition of both real cherries and cherrywood...

So my LHBS has a pretty expansive database of recipes that they have developed over the years. I love scotch ales and stumbled on their selection of scotch recipes. This is the one I settled on: 6.6lb Light LME 3.3lb Munich LME 8oz Special Roast Malt 4oz Biscuit Malt 2oz Roasted Barley...
