Or is it pretty standard, just for consistency? I don't use secondaries anymore and I've got a stout on 1968 that seems like it's pretty well fermented and cleaned itself up after 8 days. I'm going to leave it for at least another week, but I'm wondering if I don't need to do a full month?

Just straight up FHWing, late additions and hopback? Might give that a try soon with a friend. Any experiences?

So I am moving to Santa Cruz in August to start school, and I'd love to start growing hops after being cooped up in NYC. I am impatient and don't want to wait for spring to start planting, so I am wondering if it's possible to successfully cultivate hops year-round in CA? Here's the temperature...

So, I'm moving to Santa Cruz in September to start grad school, and I need to buy a car. I live in NYC at the moment, so obviously I don't have a car. I'd like to spend less than 8000, which rules out new (unless Honda offers 0% financing or something crazy and I stretch my budget). I don't...

Ok, so maybe this is a silly idea, but since there are so many fun collaborative recipes floating around HBT, I thought we could vote on an IPA, and see if the beer comes out a coherent beer. I'm thinking we'll follow general IPA guidelines, and vote on the following attributes, to see if we...

In most Belgian beers there's a fruity pruney taste that I really don't like-Is it coming from the yeast? I sort of assumed it is, but could it be coming from the malts? Thanks

So I got into UC Santa Cruz for my phd, and I'm thinking about moving out there from NYC. Obviously the California beer scene is one of the best in the world, but it seems to me that Santa Cruz might be missing out on some of this? I hope I'm wrong! I'm coming out visit in a month before I...

Delicious, cheap (1.25 for a half liter in Greenpoint, NYC), and 10% VERY well hidden... Anyone cloned it? Almost pointless, it's so cheap, but it'd be fun to try to to improve it some.

Is there some skill you really need to cultivate in extract brewing before going to partial mash? I am thinking for my first brew about going straight to partial mash and learning along the way. I've brewed with friends before who are much more capable than me, so I know the basics of extract...

I am getting interested in designing my own beers, and I understand most of the parameters, I am still not sure though that I understand scheduling, and how it affects the final outcomes of beers. So, in my total ignorance, I mixed up this IPA, which I am sure is pretty generic, but seems...

Hey all, I am wanting to make the jump to brewing after many years of drinking, but the problem is I am pretty limited, at least for now, by space. My apartment in New York is not tiny, but it's not huge. I have room in the kitchen for the actual process, but the real problem is having space...
