Brewed a ipa Saturday night and after pitching yeast and transferring into primary, I realized that I'm about a half gal shy of 5 gals (see pic/tape markers on carboy). Is it too late to add another 1/2 of water? If I did, should I wait until I transfer to secondary? What if I added a half gal...

Ok, I've been a bottler since I started. I've probably brewed about 10-12 five gallon batches since I began brewing. 1 of which was a all grain, the rest extract. I want to know if any keggers out there have some good solid advice for someone who is looking to make the switch from bottling to...

Last night i brewed a very basic porter recipe. i started with 3 gallons of water, steep my grains at 165 for 20 mins, then brought it to a boil, removed it from the burner, stirred in my DME, started a timer for 60 mins, added my first hop addition (1oz tettnang), at 15 mins left, i added 1...

I'm looking for recommendations for a good hoppy American IPA extract recipe. i prefer a IPA with more aroma and flavor from the hops than bitterness from the hops. I know this probably isn't a realistic comparison when asking for a extract IPA recipe but I'm a big fan of the green flash West...

I have a porter extract kit brew in my primary now. I added 5lbs of figs that had soaked in brandy for months to the last 5 mins of my boil. I used a grain bag for easy management of the removal of the figs. Then I put the figs in a blender (along with the brandy they had soaked in which I...
