Comment by John F. Houpt II, PhD on May 9, 2013 at 1:22pm: Looking for good homemade rootbeer and ginger ale recipes, about as organic or natural as I can get.

Comment by John F. Houpt II, PhD on May 9, 2013 at 1:20pm: Brewing an extract British Bitter from 7 Bridges Coop IBU 25.9; O.G. 1.044; F.G. 1.015; ABV3.9%. No bottles or kegs this time. I'm going to put it up in "Party Pigs." and keep them in the icebox. Each pig holds 2.5 gals of brew under pressure. Nice and portable and less sanatizing and refiling work. Looking forward to sitting on the porch or under the tree enjoying one of these.

Comment by Pat Johnson on May 22, 2011 at 9:54am: Yesterday I was feeling American so I brewed 10 gallons of an American Wheat Beer (ShhWheat). I used 10lbs each of 2-Row Barley and Malted Wheat. 1.5oz of Cascade hops at 60 minutes and 1.5oz of Saaz hops at 15 minutes from the end of the boil.

Comment by Pat Johnson on May 9, 2011 at 9:53am: I'm doing an "Organic" beer brewing demo an Everman Natural Food store here in Pensacola in Ocotober. I plan to make a "Pale Ale" and a "Porter" for sampling (brewed the month before the class) and brew a Pale Ale during the demo. I will be using "Organically" grown Barley but not nessessarily Organic Hops (nobody except homebrewers do). I'll be using Munton's Ale yeast in all of the beers. So Organic Barley, non-Organin Hops and Munton's Ale Yeast will make up the ingredients. The 10 galloons of Porter will contain 18lbs of Pale Malt, 1lb of Chocolate Malt, 1lb of Roasted Barley and 1lb of Crystal 60. Mash at 155 degrees for 1 hour. 1 hour boil with 1oz of Cascade at 60 minutes, 1 oz of Saaz at 15 minutes. The 10 gallons of Pale Ale will be made up of 100% Pale malt (20lbs) and mash at 155 degrees. 1 hour boil with 1 oz magnum hops at 60 minutes, 1oz cascade at 30 minutes, 1oz centenial hops at 20 minutes, 1 ounce of cascade hops at 15 mintes and 1oz of cascade at flame-out.

Comment by Jackie Smith on March 23, 2011 at 8:38pm: Hello! I am attempting to make wine and my first batch was a total bust. :( I am hoping to use juice concentrate or juice to get the hang of the process before I go wasting a bunch of fruit (so obviously no natural yeast yet)....any tips?? Thanks!
