Here's my buddy visiting from Fairbanks Alaska adding hops to a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale brew a couple years ago; note snow shovel. We drove my 1965 Ranchero to F.H. Steinbart's in Portland in the snow for supplies.

I'm originally from "The Land of Sky Blue Waters" (Uff Da!), now in Portland OR, and looking for a good recipe for Hamm's beer. Does anyone have one they've done, and if so, how did it turn out? I've seen a few online, but I'm hoping someone here has actually brewed some, and can report results...

Has anyone brewed one? I’m interested in recipes, yeast and hopping schedules you used. I’d like to try brewing one.

It must be an antique by now, but I've been using this sparger for over 20 years, and see no need for anything else; it works great.

I've rarely used Munich malt in any large quantity, but I'd like to try a 100% Munich SMaSH to find out it's character. I've read that it's very malty, but also doesn't convert as well as Pales, Pilsners, etc. What say you? Also, I would think that some type of German noble hop like Tett or Saaz...

Every year I try a new recipe with my home grown Centennial hops. This year I decided to try a SMaSH using only Vienna malt; I'd only used it as a contribution to other recipes previously. Wow! What a great beer from just two ingredients. Very drinkable and aromatic, with nice bitterness that...

I've been brewing wheats for years, typically using liquid or dry yeasts designed for them. I've also used Alt yeast to brew Widmer Hefe, as that's what they started with, and it works well too. This time, I decided to try something new- Safale US-05 and Voss Kviek. I've used Voss Kviek to brew...

I've brewed the recipe on their website a couple times, and mine always came out much darker using the exact ingredients and amounts they show. So I decided to try lightening it up by creating the C60 malt amount by using half C20 and half C40, and I'm very happy with the results; it's virtually...

Normally I just sprinkle it on the top of the beer after the fermenter is filled, but I came across this on the Fermentis site; has anyone tried this? Ideally, the yeast will be added during the first part of the filling of the vessel; in which case hydration can be done at wort temperature...

My first attempt at mash hopping today. It seemed like a good choice to use my homegrown Centennials and not spend a ton on store boughts. It's in the kettle right now. Recipe: 10 lbs. 2 row pale 2 lbs Caramunich 60 1.125 lbs Centennial fresh hops, mashed .5 oz. Chinook pellets @ boil 2 oz...

I visited my buddy in MN not long ago, and we had a few (Many) "Todd the Axe Man"s from Surly Brewing. Delicious, with over-the-top Citra & Mosaic hopping. Anyone have a good all grain recipe?

Have you guys heard about SN creating & distributing an IPA recipe worldwide to benefit victims (including their employees) of the Camp Fire disaster? The recipe is being distributed to brewers around the world, with the expectation that 100% of the proceeds from sales will go to the fund. What...

Has anyone tried the 3 Floyds Zombie Dust recipes that are floating around? I was intrigued by the Citra single hop usage, especially at the large quantities it calls for, so I brewed up a 5 gal. batch a couple weeks ago. Well, I'm trying my freshly kegged & carbonated batch today, and I'm...

Does the boil evaporation rate change with outside temp.? I have my system dialed in almost perfectly, except for the evaporation rate. I brew outdoors year 'round, and my evap rate seems to change depending on the air temp. I have a mark on my propane regulator that I set to when boiling, so I...

This may be old news to many of you, but I just discovered it today. It's an all-grain 5 gallon recipe listing all the ingredients, mash temps, times, etc. https://sierranevada.com/beer/year-round/pale-ale What a great American brewery!

Brewing a single-hop, fresh hop ale tomorrow, using home-grown Centennial + pellets: 5 gallons 60 min mash, 60 min boil Soft Oregon water, no treatment 10 lb Pale malt 1.5 lbs Cara-Munich 60 1 oz Centennial pellets @ boil 1 oz " " @ 30 min 1 lb home-grown Centennial...

I'm looking for help with setting carbonation & dispense settings for my system. I have a full-size fridge with (2) 5 gallon corny kegs, a 5 gallon Co2 tank, a KegCo dual regulator for independent PSI adjustment, and 3/16" i.d. gas lines; one is 5' long, and the other is 10' long. I remain...

This is my first post, although I've been a member & lurker for a couple of years. I've been homebrewing out here in Oregon for about 20 years, trying almost every style, but only recently discovered Saisons after tasting a Red Barn ale in Calistoga CA. Wow! Definitely my new favorite beer...
