Question by ZBR: What is the best home brew beer recipe?
I have recently started making my own beer at home and I have yet to find a recipe that I really like. Do you have any suggestions for finding a good recipe, or website which sells them?
I typically like lagers (but they are tough to brew at home due to the temperature requirements). An ale would be suitable.

I think best would be a matter of opinion. Everyone likes different styles, so what my favorite is, you may not like.
has a pretty good recipe database. It’s also the best online source for any homebrewing information.

Do you have a copy of Papazian’s book New Complete Guide to Homebrewing? You might start with one of his recipes and tweak it until you get what you want.
You might want to try what I do to brew lagers. I keep the wort in an unheated room, inside a marine cooler. I rotate four 2-litre soda bottles from freezer to cooler. Two at a time keep the wort cool enough. I also hold off on lager until after Xmas to take advantage of the coldest part of the year.
Definitley pick up Papazian’s book. Also go to the Brewers’ Association site at
Go to your local bookstore and pick up copies of BYO: Brew Your Own, and Zymurgy magazines.
BYO has a database of recipes online.

Go to your local homebrew shop (lingo: LHBS) and pick up some recipe guides or ask the cats there.
Some examples of beers I have done:
Ninja Chocolate Mint Stout
Hoppy Halloween Pumpkin Pie IPA
Nut King Cole Imperial Chestnut Porter
Bada Bing Cherry Weizenbock (fermenting in primary now!)
Most importantly, be creative and have fun!
Cheers!
yeah, personally i always make ales because like you said its more difficult to control the temperature and more stuff can go wrong with them. there are plenty of ale yeasts that are neutral enough that they taste like lagers, read some yeast profiles. its usually what i do.
beertools.com has a user submitted library of like +5000 recipes, pick a style you like and find a recipe that has good reviews from other users (there are a lot of good recipes but a lot of bad ones too since it is user submitted so i usually only pick reviewed recipes).
one thing in mind when you are using recipes though is that its not like cooking where adding x and y will usually get you the same cookies. when youre brewing things like the size of the boil, length of the boil, temperature it fermented at, AA content of the hops, how fine the grains were crushed, whether the recipe was supposed to be all grain but you are doing it as an extract brew, etc. all come into play and can cause a lot of variance in the beer from what the author intended. so if youre converting all grain recipes to extract recipes, the balance might be off because the recipe might be expecting a 90% yield from a mash, but you might only get a 20% yield from that grain when you steep it. i screwed up a few beers when i first started not realizing that the yield can be drastically different if you steep it instead of mash it.
this table has estimations of PPG obtained for some of the common grains… its not perfect but it if you are using all grain recipes, it may help you convert quantities a bit better.
the size of your boil also affects the yield you get from hops and grains… smaller boil=less hop flavor/bitterness/sugars and flavor obtained from grain than a larger boil, so if you boil just like a gallon or two you may need to add extra steeping malts or hops to make up for that as well.

Yeah! They make a thing called a "my k-cup". You just put in your own coffee (or tea) and follow the instructions on how to use it.
Yep, I currently house loaches with a raphael, and I keep the temp at 76 degrees. Both fish are active, eat well, and look good, so it seems to be a happy medium.
They have discovered that beer can help stave off certain types of cancers. I think that makes it okay and earns you ice cream.
No material, solid, liquid or gas. is perfectly incompressible. There is always a relationship between pressure, temperature, and density called the "Equation of State". Given any two, one can calcuate the third. The freezing point will change, true, but it'll still freeze if the container gets a little colder. The ice then will simply be under great pressure (10's of thousand of atmospheres, perhaps) if the density is not allowed to change from it's initial value.

Mild in taste or mild in alcohol?
A bottle of wine is about 9 units and a large beer is about 2(ish) so 4-5 beers. 5% beer is fairly strong so I would go with 4 beers to be on safe side.

If it was built before June 14, 1976, it will be VERY difficult to find financing. Even as a MH built in the 70s, it could still be a challenge to get financed.
MHs are rarely a good investment, as the condition deteriorates faster than a stick built home, they are challenging to finance and some people will not even consider purchasing a MH home.

The chicken depends on ounces, but I'd keep that.
I'd personally cut the chicken into cubes, cook in the pan with the rotell and then put that over a cup of pasta and possibly an ounce or 2 of the cheese, but I'd choose lower fat cheeses.
That should be about 7-10 points that way.

They like it a little warmer but should do ok, just keep the humidity up.
They need warm and humid so they can shed properly
In theory, cooler air reduces the octane requirement. This is why turbocharged engines sometimes use intercoolers, which reduce the temperature of the air/fuel mixture, and some cars have a cold air induction system that takes colder air from in front of the car instead of hot air from under the hood.
LLS an intervention?Maybe so, cuz mixing diff types of beer, rum, vodka, chardonnay, and champagne last night got me scarred

You need to try fresh homemade. The difference in taste is amazing. Store bought tortillas are full of preservatives.
