I'm working out the recipe for a Pale Ale I'm brewing tomorrow and trying to figure out where I want to mash at for it to get where I want it to be. I'm basically trying to get the overall body and hop character of an IPA in a Pale Ale sized package. Should I mash 154-156 to try to get...

Curious to see who else made a special brew for Xmas/The Holidays? I did a Xmas Vanilla Porter to send back home to Chicago, it hasn't even been 2 weeks since it was brewed, and I'm already drinking a sample :) Not bad for 7%abv! Still has 2 weeks to go, but heck, it's drinkable now. A...

I'm coming up with a Recipe for my house Pale Ale. I'm pretty set on the Malt Bill, but I'm having some difficulty dialing in my Hop Schedule and I'm looking for some constructive criticism. I'm looking to really give this beer a rounded hop depth with a citrus kick to it! 5Gal Batch OG...

Brewed up a Holiday Vanilla Porter about 6 days ago. Started much bigger than I expected at 1.070 but the fermentation went really quick with Wyeast 1028 British Ale and it finished perfectly at 1.016. Didn't really want it to get any lower than that because I wanted to avoid to much ethynol...

Thought this could be an interesting post. What was the 1st recipe you came up with on your own? What was it, how did it turn out? I just wrote up a basic Xtra Pale Ale Recipe using some things I wanted to try out. The thought being I love IPAs but wanted something with the hop character...

I'm seeing if anyone on here is from Bozeman, MT? I might be moving up there for work and need to find a Homebrew shop! It looks like there's a bunch breweries up there! Any help would be appriciated :mug:

I brewed my 1st AG about 12 days back, it was suppose to be an Imperial Porter (appx 7-7.4%), but I forgot .5lbs of Chocolate Malt so it ended up as a Imperial Brown Ale! After 12 days of fermentation and still the occasional bubble coming out of the airlock, I decided to just rack it over...

This is going to be my 1st Saison, and my 2nd AG batch. Going with a "Batch Sparge" this time after doing "No Sparge" on my 1st AG. This should be a good time, try something new, throw all I've learned about fermentation into the wind, mess with recipe guidelines, you can see where this is...

Hello! I've been reading this forum a while and decided to go ahead and jump in! Just started brewing recently and did my 1st AG over the weekend which was intended to be an Imperial Porter....until I forgot the Chocolate Malt, now it's an Imperial Brown! I'm doing 1/2 batches to do a little...

This is what happens when you aim to brew a porter and forget to get the the right malt... I was really confused why the beer wasn't darker until I realized I hadn't gotten the Chocolate Malt. Here's my grain bill, what catagory would this beer fall under at this point? (it was suppose to...
