So I have about 10 ounces of hops I bought for planned brews back in February. Unfortunately, I never got to use them as having time to brew wasn't in the cards. I now have a planned brew day next weekend. Each ounce is individually packaged, never opened from Hop Union. I've had them in the...

Looking to brew another IPA in a couple weeks. Looking for feedback on a hop schedule I'm working on. Looking to achieve a balance in the hop flavor. I've brewed IPA before, as well as CDA, and it seems on hop flavor always comes through the most. My IPA was more citurs forward, and CDA was...

I am planning on brewing an Altbier this weekend. First time I've attempted to brew this style. I always make starters for my brews. I will be using Wyeast 1007. I'm not really sure what size starter to make though. It will be fermented at a lower temp than ales but higher than lagers. On...

So, Im brewing a Robust Porter right now. My mash/lauter tun is an Igloo 5 gallon with a false bottom. The recipe I made has 12.5 pounds of grain. I knew it would be pushing the limits of mash tun capacity. I have a 1.25 quarts per pound ratio. I didn't want to have a thicker mash than...

So, a work associate sort of got me interested into the whole homebrew thing. I decided that I would start my endeavors by learning up on some brewing and begin as an all grain brewer. I've read a few books before I've started, and have some grasp of what I'm doing (kind of). With that...
