Yesterday I started a new project, a 100% wheat, wheat beer. chose to go with the dunkelweissen style cause thought itd give the best impression for this. now I know youre supposed to have a 50-50 or 75-25 or something ratio when making wheat beers, but had a surplus of wheat at the moment and...

Awhile ago I got this idea "beer by the caliber" when I accidentally created a recipie that turned out 7.62% and 51 IBUS. I realized that was the metric for a .308 caliber rifle. I don't remember the recipie cause it was just random left over stuff I was throwing together but that got me...

ok i'll work something out for a dry hop schedule and post it on here to get opinions

i didnt do flameout hops because i just simply forgot. and like i said in my original post i thought about dryhopping but dont really know much about it other than how it works. i could still do it right, dont they usually add them within a week of the original brew date? if thats the case i...

i actually thought about putting a quarter pound or so of that belgian candi sugar or honey but decided not to because i wasnt sure if it was part of this style or not. thanks for letting me know for next time

yeah i know theres too much specialty i just didnt have anything else to put in. and like i said was just trying to use up older stuff laying around. probably next time i'll substitute the caravienne and carapils for two row or maris otter

today i got started an imperial IPA, which ive always wanted to try. some might not approve of the grains or hops i used but on this im looking for both positive and negative feedback so i might improve next time. for this one though all i was trying to do was use up older grains and hops. i was...

hey just tried one after bottle for two weeks which is the norm. it had good head and head retention. and the corn flavor became more pronunced, you can hardly even taste the pineapple any more. in fact it does remind me more of a lager than an ale like a cream ale is supposed to do. and...

yes it really is named Chinook. sorry took me so long to respond but i just saw your reply today

bottled it and had enough for a sample. the corn flavor did come thorough as well as the pine apple. if you ask me the two actually worked well together. didnt get much from the cherry smoked but i was expecting that

i did a cream ale base because thats what the person wanted and i did have to cut some of the corn out because for pineapple upside down cake you use brown sugar and since brown sugars a fermentable if i kept the corn where it was supposed to be it wouldve went over the abv range for cream ale...

i just used Denali in a brew the other day and the description they give there is accuarte. havent tried the beer yet still fermenting but they do give off a nice aroma during the boil

oh the pineapple was crushed canned

mashed at 152 F

back in february i got a challenge to make a cream ale based on pineapple upside down cake. took me awhile to figure out the recipie what grains to use what hops to use and how much of everything. well the grains were easy to figure out i just took a recipie and changed some stuff around. the...
