Back To Basics With Extract Brewing

Last updated on December 3, 2020 By Brewginner Leave a Comment

extract brewing

When I started this little hobby, I started where most homebrewers begin, with extract brewing. After brewing 4 extract batches, I was ready to make the leap to all grain brewing, and I haven’t looked back. I’ve been able to produce some great tasting beers, and I’d like to think I’ve got pretty good at […]

BrewGround: American Lager Yeast Fermented Warm

Last updated on September 13, 2020 By Brewginner 2 Comments

I recent brewed up a pilot batch for an American Lager, in preparation for a larger scale brew of this style. For my pilot batches, I typically take the Brulosophy short and shoddy approach, in an effort to save some valuable time. In this case, my fermentation temperature control was thrown to the wind, and […]

Last updated on February 23, 2020 By Brewginner Leave a Comment

Base malt, or brewers malt, is a staple ingredient in any beer that is brewed. Base malt can be found in a variety of different styles, and is traditionally sourced from two-row barley.

How about a very traditional variety of hop that was used in the early days of European brewing. If you’re counting at home, there are four noble hops: Hallertau […]

BrewGround: Citra Hops Profile

Citradelic Pale Ale

The Citra hops profile should scream citrus, at least based upon it’s name alone. Citra is one of the most sought after aroma hops, and with a strong citrus profile of grapefruit, orange, and other tropical fruits it’s easy to see why. If you’ve read any of my previous BrewGrounds, you know I’m a citrus […]

cascade hops profile

Experimenting with Cascade hops was really my first BrewGround before my BrewGround was really a thing. It seems the use of Cascade hops in homebrewing is really quite popular.
