Description: I ended up repitching the yeast from a previous batch (Room-mates bavarian weizen, D&M Brockington) and the yeast didn’t create the banana & clove taste, but the aroma was right on. I think the yeast had just been used too many times. The beer scored a 37 and NHC and a 30 at Heart of the Valley. The NHC …

Description: I just made a dunkelweizen this weekend. I would say, from reading Warner’s book, that the best way to add color is with dark munich malt. I don’t think (from memory) that he used crystal or chocolate malt in any of his recipes. Since I could not find any dark munich malt, however, I “cheated” with crystal and chocolate …

Description: My first IPA turned out really good. A bit of sweet on the front of the tongue with a full hoppy ‘bite’ at the back. If this beer would have turned out a bit more clear, I would have made labels and entered it in the county fair. Ingredients: 1 pounds, Brewcraft liquid Amber malt extract, unhopped 4 pounds, …

Description: I tried to make a relatively inexpensive IPA. While you must spend money on hops, save some by using corn sugar. Had to go with DME to get a lighter color. Ingredients: 3 # extra pale DME 3 # pale LME 2 # corn sugar 2 oz simcoe 10 min. 2 oz sterling 10min. 1 oz simcoe dry hop …

Description: This turned out to be probably the best beer I’ve ever made. I made an 11 gallon batch so I could add raspberries to half of it for a raspberry wheat and have the other half as an American wheat. I was amazed at how well both came out and plan to do another batch when it cools off …
