Hey team, I have a few lbs of frozen huckleberrys picked locally by me and my GF. I am wondering how I should work this into an all grain recipe. I don't want it to be overwhelming. I was thinking of making an IPA. Is this going to overpower the huckleberry? I only have basic ingredients kicking...

OK. So I washed my first batch of yeast from a Saflager 34/70. I also put aside some wort from previous brews so I could attempt a starter (sanitized and stored in the fridge). I am having a tough time finding info specific to what I am doing. Either people are making a starter from a packet or...

So I have no formal training, no school, no experience other than at home. But I have been brewing for a while and have tried a little bit of everything as far as home brewing goes. Maybe even more so than some, (tried malting my own barley for a while and drying/roasting it for all-grain...

Hey everyone, I live in a small town in BC Canada where I have to order all my ingredients online or pick them up randomly if I am travelling. This makes me have to plan ahead and find recipes and hope for the best. My issue is, my friend gave me a corona mill because he upgraded. I used a...

Hey everyone. I have done a few small scale all grain brews and I have finally started to upgrade my set up. My first purchase is a 62L pot that I plan to us as a boiler. I plan to slowly add to/modify my set up but for now I want to brew and let my set up evolve. My question is about the...

Hey everyone. I need help purchasing grains. Well, I know how to buy grains. I just need suggestions from you all as to what types. I have made a couple all grain beers but they were 1gal BIAB. I didn't pay too close of attention as to what grains were in these BIAB. I recently purchased a large...

Hey everyone. Its been a while since I've been on this forum. Its also been a while since I have made any beer. I tried malting my own barley with decent success. Unfortunately, the amount of work needed for a 1gal batch scared me away and unfortunately have taken a 8 month break. I simply love...

I really enjoy making beer and I honestly feel I could make a go at a career. I'm relatively new to brewing but I have an urge to learn as much as a can. I'm at a point in my life where I need to attend school to get ahead. I work way to hard for the money I make at the moment. I'm curious if...

Hey everyone, I posted a few days ago about malting my own barley. I got some useful info, but also a lot of people saying its not worth it. My question now is, where does everyone get their grains? I've called a few local places around here (Kimberley BC Canada) and nobody does all...

Hey guys, I am pretty new to all grain. Mostly working with 1 gal until I get a good technique going. I have been malting my own barley and have a few lbs of finished pale malt. I also just got in the mail some whole leaf hops. Centennial, Nugget, Saaz and Cascade. The Centennial and Cascade was...

Hey guys, I'm pretty new to this. I don't post on forums ever so even doing this I feel I may be in over my head. But anyways, I've been brewing wine from kits for several years. I decided that I was tired of drinking kits and realized I didn't have a pallet for wine, or beer for that...
