I just brewed an IPA I am going to submit to a BJCP contest. The bottles are due in exactly 17 days. They will sit another two weeks before they are judged which is a month from now. The beer is basically a Blind Pig clone and the OG came in at 1.063. My question is should I rush the dry...

So I went down to check on a Honey Apricot Belgian Blonde I did a few weeks ago and noticed a thin white film developing in the bottles. I feel like my sanitation procedures are pretty good and haven't had any infection issues since my very first batch - 30+ batches ago. Here's what I am...

Dogfish Head brewed up a Delaware beer using local wild yeasts. Here's the article... Delaware Today

This beer is so good 21 days from grain to glass. I am sure it will continue to improve over time but as I sit here tonight and write this, this is my new house IPA :mug: 13# Pale Ale Malt 1.5# Toasted Malt* .5# C-60 .5# Torrified Wheat .75 oz Warrior 17.4% - 60 .5 oz Centennial 10% -...

I want to try to make a moderately hoppy brown ale for the fall. I have brewed a few complex beers lately and want to do something simple. I'm starting to find that beers that fall in right around 6% are where I like them to be. Enough of a malty backbone to support the beer but abv low...

I made Yooper's Dogfish Head 60 Min IPA a few months back. I was really excited about the recipe because 60 is probably my favorite beer. The only problem that I didn't catch was that when I went to my LHBS to get the grains for it I ordered 1 lb of amber malt thinking I'd save some for the...

This is a very nice spring/summer ale I made for the SWMBO who loves DFH Aprihop but not the bitterness. I was shooting for a sweeter ale with moderate hop presence and a nice apricot flavor. 11# 2-Row 1# Munich Malt .5# Honey Malt .25# Crystal 60 .25 oz Warrior @ 60 mins. 1 oz...

Brewed up a batch of Yooper's DFH 60 minute IPA last night. Was shooting for a SG of around 1.065 but ended up at the dreaded 1.046. After I threw a few chairs in the yard and screamed bloody murder ;) (this is the 5th batch in a row I've hit sub 60's eff), I was cleaning out my mash tun when...

My buddy and I are out to make a nice refreshing citrus forward APA for the spring. I haven't used Amarillo (although they are highly praised here) or Vienna malt before and was wondering if these are the right choices here. I also have some leftover Summit and Warrior hops in the fridge I...

As I sit here is snow covered Delaware awaiting yet another snow storm, I've been thinking about some of the brews I've done this winter. A blonde, dark belgian, cider, brown ale, and an ipa...I can't help but to start to get excited about brewing up some refreshing summer brews. This will be...

I'm going to put myself out there on this one. I have some hops and grains in the basement from previous recipes that need to be used up (expiring, plus the wife can see I need to make another trip to the LHBS). Let me know what you think...I have been having some trouble with balancing hops...

Hi everyone, first post here. I am trying to concoct a Belgian (specialty/dark)Ale that highlights the fig and raisin flavors. I am a little stuck here with the use of carapils and crystal and am not sure if I'm using it right. Please let me know what you think about this recipe. This will...
