So, I always try to keep something light in rotation for the BMC folks. I did up a Patersbier for a party I have coming up. Pretty simple recipe: 9lb Pils (Should be belgium, I used German) 1oz Traditional 60min 0.5oz Saaz 10min WLP530 Abbey Ale (Suppoesed to use Wyeast #3787) Mashed...

I searched around but couldn't really find anything. On my 90min IPA clone, it calls for dry-hopping. I don't have any kegs open, and prob won't for a bit, so I'm gonna let this one sit in the secondary for a bit at around 56*F in my basement until a keg frees up. My question is, do I dry hop...

This is kinda related to the step mashing thread, but I didn't want to highjack. I'm planning on making the Dogfish 90min IPA clone, because I was luckily able to order all the hops online!! :) The grainbill for a 5gal batch is 16.5lbs Pilsner malt and 1.66lbs Amber malt. The directions call...

Wasn't sure where to post this since it's half beer/half mead. :cross: I brewed the Crandaddy Braggot extract recipe from "Extreme Brewing" about 4 weeks ago. 3gal boil topped off to 5gal 6.6lb LME 6lb Orange Blossom 1oz Hallertau (60min) 2lbs dried cranberries hydrated in separte pot...

I'm planning on making the Indian Brown Ale clone from the Sept05 issue of BYO. I got everything today except the Coffee Malt. My LHBS has never heard of this. I'm kinda in a crappy situation since I want to brew Sunday, so is there any substitute for it? Recipe only calls for 6.5oz, so it's...

So after a loooonng brewday yesterday (10am - 6pm), my first all grain batch is under my belt. Whew. :cross: My major issue is that I had a major stuck sparge. I was using my new AG kit from Northern Brewer. 10gal round rubbermaid cooler with their stainless false bottom. Somehow, a...

Just wondering if you guys could double check my conversion of a recipe from extract to all-grain. I just got the 10gal cooler kit from Northern Brewer for xmas, and I'm trying to plan my first brew. I've been wanting to do the Blood Orange Hefeweizen from "Extreme Brewing" for some time, and...

It always makes sense to me and a buddy that when we go to lunch on Friday's, it's a perfect day to have a few beers at lunch. And it's all too convienent that the local restaurant with the best brew selection has 1/2 price lunch. They sucker us in with their low prices, just to get us to...

I just wanted to introduce ya'll to Chase Alexander Frey. Brought into this world on Friday at 11:56am. He came in at 7lb 10oz and 20.5 inches long. Both mommy and Chase are doing great. We're at home now relaxing and getting used to having twice as many diapers to change. :eek: Cole is...

Just moved to a new home and wanted to brew some beer since 1 of my 3 kegs is almost kicked. The new neighbors seem to like beer, so I want to get on their good side and keep them drunk! :D My 60min IPA clone went fast the first time, so I figured I'd do it again. Had the extract, ordered...

I recently moved into a new house. I'm wondering what it takes to move over my Liberty and Goldings plants. I know there's information out there somewhere, but I can't find it via search. This is their second year and they have been sprouting up strong. I've been keeping them trimmed low...

I'm looking for a good 5gal extract recipe for a Belgium Strong Ale or a Tripel. My second son is due to arrive on July 6th, and I would like to hand out bottles of beer instead of cigars. I'd also like to cellar some for later enjoyment. In my crazy mind, I think it would mean alot if I...

This weekend is brew weekend, and I already have mine picked out (Raison D'Etra Clone), but my brew buddy is looking for something. We've been drinking alot of Hop Rod Rye, so why not try for it....right? I looked at the Humboldt Hop Rod in the database from Janx, and I'm just trying to...

DFH Red & White is hitting the stores now. I tried to get some at the Brewpub on Sunday, but they had a delay in shipping. My wife has been calling around today and found a store where they just delivered. She's picking up 4 bottles (750ml) for me after work. I'm not sure why she's being so...

I'm looking for the best setup for my beer fridge. I currently have two beers kegged, and the third in the secondary. I have 3 taps on my door. Right now I'm using this regulator: I need to add at least a 3rd co2 line, but I'm debating how to go about it. Right now my CO2 tank is...

I got a bunch of beer making stuff for Christmas and I stepped up to doing full extract boils. My first beer was a 60min clone from the book Extreme Brewing. Recipe: 6 gallon boil 6oz British Amber (Steep at 150 for 15min) 7 pounds light dry extract 1/2 oz Warrior (Add over 60 mins) 1/2...
