Looking for Imperial Stouts and IPA's I cant get here in the Midwest-Sip of Sunshine, Gandhi Bot, Alpine Nelson, etc. Open to anything though

I've got fresh Hopslam for trade, I'm looking for IPA's and stouts. I realize that I'm new to this and am willing to ship first.

I'm just going to roll the dice and hope it works out. I'm using frozen peaches no sugar added btw.

When I rack onto the peaches fermentation will start again, increasing the abv. I just don't want this beer too boozey.

I'm attempting to make a clone of Short's Brewing Peaches and Cream Ale. The problem is that I overshot the OG and its projected to finish at 8.5% ( I wanted it at around 8.4 max)and I still have to rack the beer onto peaches in secondary which will increase the abv even more. Whats the best way...

Looking for IPA's..Cigar City, Firestone Walker....Heady Topper.

No I haven't tried to back sweeten. I think I'll give this a try but I was mainly wondering if anyone else has had this experience.

Last Fall I made a hard cider with pasteurized, preservative free apple cider and Nottingham yeast; no other ingredients were used. I tried one three months after bottling and it was very sour, almost like Warheads candy sour. I opened one every other month after that and they all have remained...

Last year I made the popular Ed Wort apfelwein and it took around 4 months before it was drinkable and around 6 to get really good. This year I used apple cider instead of juice and Nottingham ale yeast instead of Montrachet wine yeast. Will this have an effect on the length of time until it's...

Has anyone used cherry juice in a porter and if so how much?

A friend and I brewed an 8 gallon batch of russian imperial stout, split it between two primaries and added a 1.5 packs of safale 04 to each. The OG was 1.100 and after a month in the primaries it has stopped at 1.030. This seems a little high and we don't it to be too sweet. We've heard of guys...

I'm thinking that CTS found the problem. After the boil I added a gallon of water to top off the batch (5.25G) and I didn't stir the wort up before I checked the gravity. Noob mistake, thanks for the replies.

Post boil, full boil.
