    Building a Zombie Dust clone with Galaxy Hops. First non-kit brew

    Hey all, I just went to the local brew store, and they were all out of Citra hops, so I was given the recommendation of using Galaxy hops. One of the guys recommended this recipe, and getting ready to have friends come over to help brew. What do you think? .25 Belgian Aromatic .25 Belgian...

    Anyone have a good Oktoberfest recipe?

    I'd like to find a clone of Lakefront Brewery's Oktoberfest beer. I have never done all grain, so I don't know hard it would be to clone this without doing it.

    Too much head?

    I thought I poured this out perfectly, but it feels very heavy carbonated. It tastes AWESOME, just very bubbly.

    So my stupid ass threw away the priming sugar before bottling

    Yea. I had a buddy over, showing him how to brew/bottle beer. Today was bottling day, so we were having beers, and cleaning/sanitizing. I had boiled the sugar, and he threw it in the fridge to cool down. After we were done sanitizing, I told him to put the sugar in the bottling bucket, so he...

    Being on the road while brewing sucks...especially when you come back to a mess

    So I brewed a kit IPA, but used Wyeast French Saison strain 3711. I used this because when I leave, I wanted a yeast that tolerated a higher temp during brewing, because I had set my AC at 74 for when I'd be gone. I brewed my beer on Thursday night, and I left Friday morning with the beer all...

    Sanitizing for dryhop process?

    I'm supposed to dryhop after a week, and it's been a week now. I have the bag, and the hops. How do I make sure the hops are sanitized? I opened them up from their vacuum seal last week when I was making the primary wort, and this leftover batch is in a ziploc. I was going to boil some water...

    So I'm brewing an IPA that says to transfer to a secondary. HBT says, "NO"?

    Should I just leave it in the primary for the entire duration, and skip the racking to a secondary carboy? BTW, I'm supposed to put the rest of the hops in the second racking.

    3 hour brewing process

    So I was brewing an IPA kit that I bought from my local homebrew shop. I followed EVERYTHING to the T and here I come, to the last phase which is to seal my ferementing bucket. I seal it, then put the aerating piece in and *POP* the rubber around the ****ing seal falls into my bucket AFTER i...

    Do I follow instructions to the T? Or let fermenting go on longer?

    I'm doing an Ale that I got as a gift from monsterbrew (Maestro Homebrew Kit with Amber Ale Kit | Home Brewing Supplies from Monster Brew) Anyway, the instructions say that I should let it bubble for 3-4 days, then when it stops, let it ferment for 3-4 days. That would essentially allow me to...

    Here's something silly. I need a pot

    Maestro Homebrew Kit with Amber Ale Kit | Home Brewing Supplies from Monster Brew GF got me that for Christmas, but we don't have a pot or spoon to cook it all in! She bought everything else however. Went to a brewing shop today, and they were closed. Can I just go anywhere to buy a cheap pot...
