Where did the name come from? I know they were produced in Washington and how to brew with them, but I'm just curious about the name.

Hey all. I'm trying my first spices in a beer. I'm using coriander. I misread a recipe calling for coriander and added it while steeping instead of at 5min. How big of a problem will this cause if at all? Can it be corrected by adding at 5min (thinking the aroma and flavor will be destroyed)?

I have a honey wheat that has been in bottles for about a month now. When I open some of the bottles, the head flows out at a stead pace, not rushing, but forcing a drink of foam quite often. The pour itself produces much head. Is this an infection or is something else at work here? Reason...

I have an Ale Pale that my mom stored kinda roughly. The inside looks fine. No mold growing. I'm going to bleach it overnight and brew an extract tomorrow. My concern comes from the lid. Its all scratched up. Everything else is fine. Should I be concerned about this? Should I buck up and...

I just bottled my first batch last night. I made an American Ale from an extract kit. I noticed when bottling the beer itself was fairly murky. Any idea why?
