Small beer meaning around 3.3% alcohol. Anchor Brewing has a small beer and I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts on the style as well as a recipe. Sorry if I left you in the dark with a lack of details.

I was wondering if anybody has made an all grain small beer?

This is my second year growing hops and they seem to be doing quite well. They came up in late march and are now 14ft high with the sidearms producing burrs on all early and mid-season. Is this normal? Weather here has been very cool 40's-50's.

After doing some reading, the only thing that I could think of is that it could be starch haze due to incomplete mashing. I used a wort chiller and an ice water bath combo to chill, as well as whirfloc in the boil. Anyone disagree?

I left it in the primary fermenter for a week, racked to a secondary for another week, and now its bottled.

I recently brewed my first all-grain batch of beer ( Haus Pale Ale) and lets just say that you can def tell that I am a noob. I mashed in a 10 gal rubbermaid cylinder cooler with a 12in SS false bottom for 60 min at 152 and crushed my grain with a Schmidling AA maltmill set at factory settings...

Wow, thanks for all of the replies. Yes. I am wanting to get more plants without ordering them.

Hello fellow homebrewers, I am going to be brewing my first all-grain batch soon and I was wondering how much temp is lost from the strike water to the grain? I will be mashing in a 10gal rubbermaid cooler which will be preheated.

Hello home brewers and hop growers, I know that this has probably been asked several times before, but im having a little trouble with finding information about dividing rhizomes from my hop plants. I know they have done well because I have found some very long "runners" when I was...

I would definetly go with cascade hops. This was my first year growing and I was amazed at how well they grew compared to the others(Hallertau, Glacier, Centennial, Horizon, and Nugget). They survied the onslaught of Japanese beatles ,the outbreak of aphids, and the 100+ degree heat. And each...

Hey all, I am going to be brewing an American Pale Ale soon and I was wanting some advice on what I should or should not use. I have an abundance of Cascade hops so thats the type i am going to use. (5 gal. batch) 6lbs of plain DME .5lbs of crystal 20L 1 oz. Cascade (60min) 1 oz...
