    Where did the flavor go? I mean aroma.

    The nose is just as important as your taste buds when it comes to picking up flavors. The worst is when your allergies act up right before going on a brewery tour or wine tasting. Stone's Enjoy By IPAs have a bigger nose than their standard brews. It's hard to find a "stale" one since each...

    Fermentation Temp. Question

    You can also try wrapping the fermentation vessel with a cold, wet sweatshirt or any shirt for that matter. I like the idea of using a 6-8 inch water bath and wrapping the carboy/bucket.

    Picking the right ingredients

    Hey all - this is my 1st real post on the site and I'm hoping I can get a good range of opinions. I've been homebrewing for a little under a year and have relied on other people's recipes or first-hand advice when gathering ingredients. I want to take this a step further and formulate my own...

    How did you find us?

    It's been a few months at this point, but I remember typing in phrases like "homebrew equipment" or "beer recipes" or "brew kettle size" and this popped up. Been addicted ever since :rockin:
