Hello all! I’m looking for any all grain recipes. Would really like some Belgian Dubbel or Milk Stout recipes. But any and all are welcome and greatly appreciated!
Welcome to the forum!
There are lots of such recipes posted here. Just use the search function to find them. It allows you to progressively add search terms, so you can start with “recipes”, then search within results for “milk stout”, for “all grain”, etc.
Just a few locations to give you ideas where to look. NB also lists the ingredients for all their kits.

Will do, many thanks!
The most reliable, tested recipe source I know of is http://wiki.homebrewersassociation.org/BeerRecipes . I would avoid recipes from Tastybrew. Too many totally untested.
Pick up a copy of Brewing Classic Styles. The recipes all have an “all-grain option” and they are all award winning or at least well tested.
Agreed, I would say 50% of the beers I have brewed came from this book. All very solid recipes assuming you’re using the all-grain options. I made a couple as extract and they were not so good.
Thank you all for the replies and advice, it’s greatly appreciated. I’ll definitely be picking up that book also!

I’m gonna have to dissent somewhat. Maybe it’s something I’m doing, but I’ve only found that about a third of the recipes I’ve tried produce beers that I liked. They do make a good starting point for modification, though.

Any ones in particular Denny?
His beers are all very malty. The one I’ve seen criticized the most is his steam, which just has a ton going on.

Yeah I almost always make a small tweak from the existing recipes but mostly due to availability of ingredients. I know the one’s I’ve made verbatim have all turned out good. The Weizenbock, Tripel, German Pils recipes off the top of my head were all solid. They also happen to be some of the simplest so that might have something to do with it.

I’ve tried his dunkel recipe 3 times. It’s supposedly based on Ayinger dunkel, one of my favorite beers. The BCS recipe is way too sweet.
Haven’t tried the pils of tripel recipes since I have my own that I feel are very good. And weizenbock just isn’t for me.

That’s exactly what I use the book for, a starting point for modification. I rarely brew the recipes as-is, but I have worn out the pages of my copy using it to put me where I want to start. As a new brewer, I deviated less, but as I was able to refine my abilities and palate, I deviated more. This book was invaluable to me as a new brewer, and now I use it as a reference to tell me where I’m at relative to style.
I think it would be interesting if JZ were to write an updated edition of the book…
