    Strong Dark Belgian

    Hi! I am aiming at something between a Brown Leffe and Westvleteren 12, St. Bernardus 12 or Gouden Carolus Quad with a "strong" caramel flavour with a bit more body than normal for a quad. https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/935263/spacenaft Thank you for having a look, Greetings

    Recipe with my stock

    Hi! Off work next couple of days and no brew shop open so might clean out the stock. I have a couple of things laying around but don't really know how to pick the right recipe. Preferably I want to use my light DME in combo with some steeping grains. Can't mill my grains because of corona...

    Ripped dh bag and forgot irish moss

    Hi Brewers, so, i forgot to add my irish moss to the kettle and I seem to have a ripped dry hop bag (primary). Would it be wise to add some boiled irish moss to secondary? Will it help to settle down the floating hop particles? Thanks!

    Making IPA from Tripel Kit

    Hey, quick question: would it be stupid to use a tripel kit (a can of LME) and ferment it with us-05 and then maybe dryhop to get a hoppy pale ale or IPA.

    Medicinal taste/frustrating

    Hello, Problem: medicinal/bandage flavour in my last 2 brews (out of 4 in total...). The taste is already there during primary. My effort so far: After the first time I had this problem, I used demineralized water for mash and sparge because a lot of people suggested chlorine. And indeed...

    Gusher/Volcano

    Hey! Having some trouble with beer I keep longer than a couple of weeks. Some of them make small volcano's seconds after opening them. I don't think it is an infection thing because the beer is clear before opening and doesn't taste off. When I look close it looks like the CO2 bubbles are...

    Hoppy Saison

    Hello, this is my fourth brew and I'm aiming at a Hoppy Saison (or Belgian IPA depending on the definition). My first 3 brews were between "meh" and "shit" so I would really like this one to work and I was wondering if I made some basic errors I overlooked. Going for a extract brew with...
