So after dryhopping with leaf hops 2oz and adding 5tsp yeast energizer a week later my beer looks like this and has a nice pellicle. Problem is its a pale ale. Anyone had anything like this before? I kegged it and am drinking it now. A milk off flavor but not bad....it cant get anyone sick right

I am a local homebrewer in the great state of Wa. and was wondering what youze guys thought of initiative 1100 and 1105? seems good to small craft breweries to have to be able to not go thru the three tier system (i.e. Great movie Beer Wars) but at the same time hard liquor sales outlets will...

My "LUPULIN LUNATIC" brew started at 1081 o.g. and is now stopped at 1017 do I need to add energizer or anything like that you think? Would really like a 12 or 10 fg? Yay or Nay?:o

the wyeast website says to use a loose fitting lid or al. foil or something. Why not an airlock on my starter? Does yeast need the o2? I aerated fairly well. I LIKE BUBBLES!!:drunk:

My homebrew sensei and I are at a lets say disagreeance. We are entering a local Ipa competition and he says we should enter our all grain ipa in two categories extract and all grain b/c the judges will score the beer higher in the extract than the all grain just to kind of pull the wool over...

Do I need worry that my hop bag will not sink? I even added stainless fittings to the sac but figure i need alot of weight to get them to sink. The lupulin will still be drawn out of the hops even if sitting on top right? Or I was thinking about adding some real stainless weights to the bag to...

Been brewing for 2 years hard-core all grain and am going to enter my IPA 7.65% into a competition. It's a $6 entry supply three bottles. My IPA is balanced, malty, hoppy, bitter and w/ pacman yeast overall in my opinion and alot of my buddies it GOOOOOOD! 15 oz of hops for 10 gal. But anyway...

Am looking at making my mash tun with a 15 gallon ss pot (i.e. the $59 jobee). I am looking forward to making many rye, hefs, and standard ales. Should I consider a bargain fitting SS braided hoses on the dump valve or just nut up and go with SS false bottom? Any experience with the hose...

I just wanted to double check I have been taking my hydrometer, ABV correctly. I brewed an amber, kick asss by the way but what my buddy told me who is my homebrew sensei, is that you take a og of say 1064 and a fg of 1010 then subtract=54 then multiply by .132 to get abv. The only thing was...
