I am attempting my first Flander's red ale as the title states and have a few questions. Using the recipe in "brewing classic styles" and the Wyeast Roselare strain I have ten gallons of Flanders going in the back room of my house. No temp control. Here is my question. I pitched a package of...

So I brewed a berliner wiesse yesterday. followed Jamil's recipe from brewing classic styles. Mashed at 147 and let it sit 4 hours (I know some people let the mash sour so I just let it sit a little longer than I usually would). 15 minute boil. 50/50 wheat and pils. 1 oz of hallatau at 15 min...

Here is the start of my Brutus ten. Trying to stay pretty close to the original. Made with same size tubing but not stainless due to price. I plan on powder coating it once it's completely mocked up. Should be just as durable and cleanable. Let me know what you think so far. Josh

Brewed an all grain barley wine following the recipe in brewing classic styles. Everything went fine in brewing it, fermenting also. It fermented and secondaried in three weeks. My problem is I bottled it and after a month in the bottle I tried it to find it has no carbonation. Checked two...

I am about 10 batches in and am starting to feel alittle confident with my brewing. I have a fishing trip setup in november and would like to make a batch for the trip to feed a bunch of guys with (family). any ways we do this every year and tend to drink more than fish and this is the first...

so I have two kegs on tap now. I have a 5 pound c02 with a single out put on the regulator. from there it T's to each keg. I have no leaks in the c02 line and everything works great out of one keg. no faucets just picnic dispensers. On the second keg when you open the dispenser nothing comes...

I just got a corny keg setup and racked a batch to the corny keg (pepsi style). I ran the c02 to it and it has a pin hole leak near the nipple for the spout. Where the black part meets the metal. Not the seal around the big opening. Its actually where the black part around the handles meets the...

So I brewed an american wheat ale last night around 7:00 it went into primary. Using the Wyeast American Wheat 1010 liquid yeast and adding the 1% alcohol boost from AHS. This morning after about twelve hours in primary it was bubbling violently. Non stop. I went to work and I came home and...

Ok I am a new brewer that is looking to try his hand at a Red Stripe clone from AHS. I got the kit and am looking over the directions for the lagering process which I have yet to try. My question is this. It says Once you see signs of fermentation slowly cool temperature of the wort to 50-55...

I am in the process of deciding which way to go with a keg setup. I am leaning towards a keezer setup. I do have some questions for those that have one currently. My first question is how do you manage the temp in the freezer. I would assump you have to raise up the temp some how so that your...

So I have been acquiring equipment and ingredients and I have it scattered all over the place....I was wondering how you guys organize all your home brewing stuff. Also where do you guys store your primary, secondary equipment. Josh

I have bought a real home brew kit as apposed to the Mr. Beer that I started with. I still have two more Mr. Beer recipe kits left. Can I use these Mr beer kits in my new home brew setup? And also can I stretch out my Mr Beer two gallon recipe kit to a five gallon Batch? Might be a dumb question...

So I am a new brewer and thought I would share my first home brewing experience. I have been wanting to do this for a while and for christmas my father got me a Mr. Beer to start with. I think its kind of cheesy but it was over all a good introduction to home brewing. I got the mr. beer deluxe...

So I am new to the home brewing community and I have just made my first batch of beer. It is about three days from bottling. I have been reading up on beer recipes.org and I found one that I want to try next. I understand everything that is discussed in making the wart but then I get confused...
