So I have a 5gal mash tun, but a 25 gallon brewpot. I would like to 1) make high gravity beers like a barleywine, 2) make large batches of some of my beers. So to make a large batch I could just buy more grain and mash half at a time to make a 10 gallon batch I assume. How would I mash for a...

Well its is hot as hell here in Tampa (stupid Al Gore) and I am not stopping my brewing for the summer. My chest freezer is occupied for the next month or so with a Pilsener that I am lagering. So, I am looking for ideas on what to brew for the next couple months. maybe I should post a poll...

Bought a Johnson controls A419 and installed it on my chest freezer this weekend. Yesterday I completed a ipa and placed it in the freezer set to 65 with a 5 degree differential set. The probe ison top of the fermenter bucket. I come home and the unit reads 55 and the thermometer at the bottom...

So a Baltic porter, my 3rd batch was supposed to be 1.065 og and was actually 1.072 I didn't make a yeast starter because I was expecting to be under 1.070. Should I pitch more yeast tomorrow? I used a wyest Irish ale yeast smack pack. Should I let it ferment a little longer, like 10 days?

OK, so I purchased beersmith (love it) and used it to design my last 2 beers. Here is the problem, It tells me the volume to carb to, not the psi to set my kegerator to. How do I figure that out? thanks, e

ok, my 2nd batch here now, and I have a question. It is going to be a rye pale ale, and I will ferment for 7-10 days. After that I will rack to a carboy for 1 week? and then keg and carbonate and let it sit for 2 more weeks? my question is in regards to the time frame... should it sit in the...

hello all, I just started my first batch of beer. It is an IPA which I will add white oak chips to. I am using a kit and it says to age 6 weeks after finishing primary fermentation. It has been fermenting for 6 days now so I am 6 weeks and 1 day away from enjoying. Cheers everyone, glad to be here.
