Hey all, My friend got a Heady Clone kit that has Conan yeast included. So instead of doing the kit straight we're gonna bump the batch to a 10 gallon all-grain and riff on Heady/ Mastermind. Problem: the intranets got nothing on what may be in mastermind. I'm guessing a grain bill similiar...

Hey all, Through a connection me and 3 friends were able to get cases of Heady from Alchemist reserved for us, so we're making an impromptu pilgrimage on Friday. We're hoping to try and get Lawson's and Hill Famstead. The question is does anybody have any advise that might help? Anything to...

Hey all, Some background: On about my 11th all grain batch, and 7th on my own monster mill mm3. Last 4-5 batches were great after gapping the mill, dialing in etc. My OGs were either spot on or pushed my efficiency into the low 80%s. Friday night my friend and I brewed a batch each...

Long short: there was a multitude of craziness that made me forget to sanitize a beer gun a friend let me borrow. I ran a half pint of beer into a pint glass before bottling 2 12 ounce bottles. (Complete sanitation protocols on them). The bottles will be kept cold until Wednesday for a friendly...

So I made a black IPA that was supposed to come in at around FG 1.018. I went to dry hop last Sunday and FG was high at around 1.026. I added dry hops, put the lid back on and gave it a swirl to see if I could get the yeasties moving again. I added more dry hops last night checked gravity...

Hey all, i'm ready equipment wise and i hope skill wise to try my hand at my first all grain attempt. I was thinking of making a "Holiday IPA" with a pretty simple grain bill to try. Something like: 12 lbs. American 2-row .75 lbs. American Caramel 80°L .25 lbs. Dextrine Malt Then a hop...

Hi all, A quick help thread. I brewed my second batch and followed advice from lhbs. We brewed and went right on top of the yeast cake and that's working out well. But I also harvested about 16 oz of trub to also get another use out the same yeast. I didn't "wash" or dump, I just took a...

Hey all, long short: my neighbor and I have jumped Ito homebrewing together. We just bottled our second brews. I amped up midwest's Irish red into an IpA and he tried a Sculpin "clone.". Both extract with seeping. Now the issue. We both transferred to a secondary( free up primary) check...

Hi all, A quick "should I be worried or chill out" thread. I went down to throw a second round of coffee in a coffee stout I brewed last Sunday, and the red ipa I had in my secondary lost its cap. (in a 5 gallon water bottle same material as a better bottle, so basically a better bottle) the...

Hey all, quick question. I brewed a DIPA and Have blow off krausen in the Airlock (3 piece filler with vodka). Do I need to clear and clean/ sanitize or leave it alone? It's at active ferment.

Relative newbie here, been lurking trying to read up and learn. But now I need help :). Brewed a red IPA with Wyeast American Ale yeast last Friday, and my hygro readings have stabilized. I want to brew again this weekend, and I only have one primary so I'm gonna transfer to a secondary. I...
