The All American Ale and Howling red recipes come in the mail today. Along with Mt. Hood, Cascade, and Glacier pellet hops and two packs of Pale DME. Any ideas on what if any of the hops to add to these two recipes?
Made up and bottled some Mr. Rootbeer. Bought a few kits from woot.com back when they were on sale. Figured I could enjoy the rootbeer and then I'd have myself some extra bottles on hand for beer. By now I'm sure the yeast is no good so it will be interesting to see how they turn out.
Good judgment comes from experience, which comes from poor judgment.
My daughter is sensitive to gluten and is just 18 now, but when she turns 21 I want to already be a capable gluten-free brewer. So, yesterday I started my first 1-gallon test batch. A simple recipe for now: brown rice syrup, Cascade hops, and S-33 yeast. Later test batches will seek more flavor aroma & color.
I brewed my first "Belgian Stout". Because I'm bored with brewing regular Belgians and Saisons, it's all I've done for 3 months LOL. Just your basic dry irish stout with T-58 that I need to use up. I'm going to feed it 6oz of D-180L. Will it be good? Dunno.
Just finished brewing a ag pumpkin ale, went pretty good although it was pretty hot and humid outside today. Recipe was pretty simple, some 2 row, 60L and special roast, pumpkin in the mash and boil, some brown sugar and hallertauer hops. Some pumpkin spice in a fo, the sample tasted great

Brewing another incarnation of a Sorachi Ace SMaSH I first did in Jan. That one was really good, the second time around not as good as I would have liked.
Dialing it in closer and closer to what I want it to taste like!
