Today I did my first 11 gallon outdoor all grain batch with a new mash tun (I typically do 5 gallon batches indoors using BIAB technique). I rigged up a hose fitting for my immersion chiller but did not factor in the extra flow rate / pressure of the hose water. Long story short, after walking...

I am just starting to get together equipment to start AG brewing, however due to my living situation in an apartment I will be brewing indoors, luckily on a gas stove (however I am moving in August and could end up with an electric stove). I am building a 5 gallon MLT and currently have one 4...

Last night I built a stir plate with help from numerous threads already on the board (thanks everyone for posting theirs!). I plan on brewing Sunday (it is Wednesday now), however I will not be able to get the ingredients from my LHBS until that day. I have a bottle of Rogue Shakespeare Stout...

I'd like to do an extra pale ale DME for my next brew, but add in orange peels and coriander (a la farrout). I've seen kits with LME for EPA's, but I am a big fan of DME. Can anyone hook me up with a good recipe?

Right how I have had a wheat hefe in primary for 10 days and CO2 is still bubbling out of the blowoff tube at a rate of once every 15 seconds. I have done a wheat ale in the past, and the fermentation was over in 4-5 days. I planned on keeping this hefe in primary for 14 days anyways, but...

oops, double post :(

For my next brew I am looking to do an extract IPA, but I was considering adding some orange zest and a pinch of crushed coriander into the last 5 minutes of boil. It seems like this is done plenty with wits and other styles of beer, but I have not seen any IPA recipes including this. Is this...

Last summer I was in Munich for a few days so naturally I went to the beer gardens. Everywhere I went had this stuff called "Radler" which was basically a beer with lemonade mixed into it if I am not mistaken (at least thats what it tasted like and what some people explained to me). It was so...

Just got my ingredients together for my next brew, a raspberry wheat using DME. This will be my third brew. For my first I used a Brewer's Best kit, and for my second I based my recipe off of a kit, but mixed and matched specialty grains and a few other things here any there. My third batch is...

Last summer when helping my parents out with some duct work I was under their house in a crawl space and noticed a 5 gallon glass carboy but never thought much of it since I hadn't started brewing yet. The house was built in the 50's and by the looks of it, it has probably been down there since...

I just transfered my chocolate stout to a secondary and lost quite a bit to sediment. The batch only goes up to where the carboy starts to curve to the top of the bottle (ie where it angles at the top). Will this be a problem with oxidation, or should I be fine and let it sit for a few weeks as...

Hi everyone, this is my first post here and was hoping to get a little advice. I've brewed a few batches of beer in the past, and this weekend I started a 2 gallon batch of hard cider. I made a yeast starter the night before (Red Star champagne yeast in 100% apple juice) and it was fermenting...
