My name is Ben Stafford. I live in Beaumont, Texas. I've been brewing beer for about 2 years now. All kits. Started with extract kits and then went to partial mash kits. We are blessed to have an amazing brewing supply store in Austin Texas (www.austinhomebrew.com) and they have a large supply of very high calibre brewing kits. I bough beer smith about a year ago but never even tried to use it until recently. I used it to make a recipe for an amber braggot using pieces of old kits I had left over (a five gal tub of amber malt extract, two oz spalter hops, 1 0z kent golding hops, .......) I don't know yet how it will come out but it has me hooked on brewsmith!
I live where there are a lot of pine and oak trees. I am wanting to begin to experiment with pine and oak leaves instead of hops. Does anyone have any experience in this area? Is there a way I can calculate the ibu's of pine needles and oak leaves and then use that knowledge to insert these ingredients into recipes?
All help appreciated.
