Oooh, I do like red star...though the LHBS is closed now, and I am headed to the grocery store in a bit so I was gonna try this tonight! Gonna give D-47 a shot and hope it turns out well! Interesting to know ahead of time that it turns out like a dry apple wine, that sounds like it could be good. If I don't like it, I'll give some bottles to friends who like dry wines. Thanks for the replies, 713 brewers!!

Add some corn sugar too if you have it.

Alright Johnny! Appreciate the tip. I decided to go ahead and create a group for Houston Brewers, feel free to join and post any of your brewing techniques, questions, thoughts, or recipes!

I just started brewing beer. First batch is an IPA. I previously made wine, but wanted to start making beer as I can enjoy it alot sooner.

I used London Ale 3 with 5 gallons of Treetop cider. I also put in some corn syrup to get a higher OG. London Ale is not as high of an attenuator as some other yeasts so you're left with a sweeter finish.

All grain brewer and mead maker, although i havent made any mead in quite a while. I was also referred by HBT.

Currently have a N. Brown ale and Old ale on tap.

i love belgian beers. 5 of my last 7 or so homebrews have been belgian inspired.

Still trying to find a recipe I would like to stay with so I try new ones and get them from HBT and beer recipes.org, from extracts to all grains
