Looking to try all kinds of experiments out with Cryo Hops... from straight use to dry hopping in SMASH beers. What are your guys' thoughts on em?

This is the first SMASH beer I am doing on Tuesday, I am attempting SMASH beers with a schmorgasboard of hops I have laying around. This goal is to try and do better taste profiling, for me, on some of these hops as I also have experimental hops and hops less ventured (like Belma, Idaho 7, Zeus...

Brewing this monstrosity, with the thought of putting it on Nitro. I got 7 lbs of free cocoa nibs so I vacuum packed em and am thinking of recipe ideas for em. This is a one of them based of my oatmeal stout recipe, which really, I may not need the oatmeal now that I think about it... could put...

Sorry I have not posted in QUITE a while, but I have been really busy with work... and brewing.... and drinking. :D I brewed a barleywine to 26.6% I call The Jacktardius Maximus. It is my pride and joy, but that stays in my vault for now. ;) My itinerary is pretty massive going forward in...

I know I don't post regularly and when I share recipes they are always mad science like creations that should be abominations, but they turn out amazing and I win awards for making them and I am a level 3 Cicerone so I have a pretty good idea about what I am tasting. With that said, I need to...

So, most of you probably know of Mangrove Jack California Lager yeast. A yeast that will ferment at 70 degrees or less (in general) and is in the style of a dry ale yeast, but it makes lagers. SOOOOOO, in my infinite wisdom (or insanity, take your pick) I have decided to use it in the most...

Hey all, sorry I have been away for a while. Brewing as usual but I have to start my next beer which is one of my secret recipes (so I won't go into too much detail on the grains and sugars). Anywho, this Beer has won me several awards in the past and this time I want to win some more! ;) It is...

(Sorry for being gone from the forums awhile, work has swamped my free time to the point where forum reading became non-existant. But I am back yo!) That's right. I got my Robobrew in last month and my nipples have been VERY hard as I brew beers from it with mass gusto! So far two beers down...

Going to brew an experimental IPA. I was wondering what a good beer base recipe would be as I do not brew IPA's regularly. I am.... making a garbage DIPA to be straight with you all. I have a bunch of left over hops that I want to mess with and I do not personally like IPA in general (I'm a...

Soooooooooooooooo, I have been playing around with Agave Nectar and Coconut Sugar in place of turbinado, brown (unless flavor desired), honey, and syrups. I brewed 3 beers over the holiday and each one stood out as cleaner and bolder. The sugars were initially used to enhance the abv of the beer...

Hey all, One of my next scoldable attempts is making a Dopplebock with ale yeast instead of pilsner yeast. Now you might ask yourself "Why would this Jacktard do something like this?". Well, for the sake of experimentation, I want to see how different the taste is. Now, per say, I have...

dThis recipe has gone through about 4 different variations, each one works mind you, but it really depends on what you want it to taste like in the long run. I will post the way I usually make it, but will post the results of the variants below and their tasting notes that I have kept. This beer...

Hey all! Can't wait to share some of my "experimental" beers with you all! :D
