Light malt extract x 1
1 kg of light DME
0.5 kg of 2 row pale [...]

Fat Tire Amber Clone ver 1.0
Sunday, October 17th, 2010Been a while since I did partial mash, so this version is a partial mash with DME and liquid extract. Its an Amber recipe that i got from my usual Brew magazine. Based on the description, I am expecting the beer to turn out fairly malty beer with mild hops as I really added little [...]
Chrysanthemum Pilsner v1.0 – review
Friday, September 3rd, 2010Appearance: Amber, slightly cloudy (homebrews are usually unfiltered), Rather poor head retention.
Aroma: The is the presence of Saaz hops, in this version it is somewhat mild and earthly, can smell the grassy hops, but its not very distinct. The mini keg that I did dry hopping with was somewhat more distinct. There appears to be [...]

Beer Making 101: Partial Mash
Thursday, July 17th, 2008Extract Beer (as show in this earlier post) is the simplest way to make a homebrew, its really just quick and easy.
The next logical “level up” is to move on to partial mash, that means a mix of grains and extract. Sort of half way between extract and all-grain. It is suppose to [...]
Beer Making 101: Cleaning up
Tuesday, July 1st, 2008The part that I do not enjoy after fermentation/bottling. The cleaning up of the beer tank. Gotta use hot water to clean and sanitize it all. After that spray it with my sanitizer solution.
