Thanks for the comment. You are correct. The water treatment that I used is not correct. I've only recently figured out water chemistry and will be making changes in future videos/recipes. If you do go down the water chemistry path, you will have to adjust for the water you are brewing with.

If you would like the recipe for this, it is available in beerXML format over on m website: https://brewingaroundtherealm.com/brewing-an-anchor-steam-clone-byo-magazine-december-2014/ This was only the second lager I have ever brewed. After brewing the Pious Monk Dunkel recipe I needed to...

Troegs Nugget Nectar has always been one of my favorite seasonal brews. It's not an IPA. It's an imperial amber. What makes this unusual is that it uses Vienna as the base malt. I had never used Vienna in this large of a quantity before. The full recipe is available on my website here...

I started thinking about what I was going to brew for the holiday season back in October. Troegs Mad Elf Ale has been my go-to holiday beer for a very long time. I set out to create a clone. I searched for an accurate recipe that matched up with the malts listed on Troegs site...

I wouldn't have thought that crystallized grapefruit would have worked in that way. Thanks for the idea.

I thought the flavor was good for about the first week. It faded quickly. After three weeks the grapefruit flavor was minimal to almost gone.

The dried zest doesn't like to sink. Some of it does a lot of it stays suspended or floats. I may try fresh zest net time.

I picked up a grapefruit IPA recipe over at Home Brew Talk several months back. What made it interesting is that it used dried grapefruit zest. I had never considered using that. I hadn't actually heard of it till I came across the recipe. My full brew day video is available here: With the...

My 8 year old son decided to purchase the October 2005 issue of BYO magazine to "help" me out. Being that it cost me $15 I thought I would brew something from it. Having never brewed a pumpkin ale before I decided to try the Old Pumpculiar recipe. It turned out great. The entire brew day and...

A few weeks back I brewed up a Chinook Session IPA. It turned out to be a successful brew. The flavor profile came though much better than I expected. I posted the full brew day. This was the first time out for my new brewing setup. I recently upgraded to a 10 gallon kettle and mash tun. I...

Thanks! It's definitely something I'm going to try again.

I can't ferment a lager but I can make an Oktoberfest inspired ale. I took a traditional Marzen recipe and used Wyeast German Ale 1007. It turned out great. Has anyone else tried doing this? Full details with the recipe beerXML file are available on my website...

It's been a while since I've posted a video to the forum. This is the first video I'm posting since changing format to include the brew day and the tasting of the final product. Full details, including the recipe with the beerXML file, can be found on my website...

I've collected several bulk hops purchases over the last few months. Wanting to use them in something I brewed up an IPA with what I had left. Including a hopshot that I've never used before. The recipe and recipe and full details are available on my website...

This past Saturday I took a try at brewing a clone of Blizzard of Hops from Troegs Brewing in Hershey, Pa. This is my first attempt at cloning a commercial beer. I used the grains and hops listed on their website to build my recipe. I ordered the hops from Yakima Valley Hops. My LHBS was out of...
