Hello everyone I made my first batch of Apfelwein a while ago, and it has been fermenting in my closet. Today I was prepping to bottle it, however, when I reached for my carboy I realized I had mistakenly placed a drilled bung on the carboy instead of a solid one- stupid noob mistake. The...

Hello everyone This is my first attempt at building my own recipe, following BJCP guidelines and after going a over few other recipes. This will be my second BIAB All Grain batch. Kiss the Scott Scottish Ale 80/- Batch Size - 2.5g 4lb British Two-Row 2oz Munich 2oz Crystal 80L 2oz Crystal...

Hello Up until now I had only read the word Fuggles, and assumed it was pronounced "Fiugles", where the "U" sounds the same as in "bugle". Then I went to my LHBS, and the owner pronounced it more like "Fogles", with much less emphasis on the "U" sound, somewhat like the word "Boggle"...

Hey everyone On a whim last night I decided to gather a couple left over ingredients and brew some beer. I did an experimental 1g of IPA, just to see how it would turn out. Here's my recipe - 1.5 lbs LME 1oz Fuggles (30mins) 1oz Fuggles (1min). Since I only had 1g of water, it boiled...

Brewed my first All Grain this past weekend, I went for a SMaSH brew (2 Row + Fuggles). HUGE THANK YOU to Deathbrewer and DRoyLenz for their stove-top all grain methods - my method is a slight variation on that. Here's a quick overview of what I did - - Brew in a Bag (AHS jumbo nylon bag)...

Good Morning everyone I currently have a Orfy's Mild Ale in primary, and I would like to try my first hand at yeast washing. I went to Danstar's site and it seems to be a good all-around sort of yeast. What beers does it go well with? Im thinking all Irish/Scottish/English Ales, just dark...

Hey everyone So today marks a very special day in my (very) young brewing adventure - I just received a bottling bucket from AHS. Now, the reason this is great is because that means I no longer have to bottle with an autosiphon, and that brings my number of available primaries to 3 - can we say...

Hey everyone When a malt has 10L, 20L, etc, what does the number and the L refer to? Thanks!

Hey everyone I currently have a stout, a chocolate stout and a pumpkin ale in my pipeline. Its going to be a while before I can drink any of them, and the brown ale I was counting on for now didn't turn out so hot, so I am going to let that one sit for a a few months. I am looking for an...

Hello everyone I am currently drinking a AHS Newcastle Clone extract recipe I brewed July 19th. It spent 2 weeks in primary, 2 weeks in secondary (I know, not needed, this was my last secondary), and has so far been 3 and a half weeks in the bottle. I know it is just the bare minimum for the...

Hello everyone I have a stout that has been in primary for about 6 weeks, and I am going to be bottling 4 gallons of it this weekend. The last gallon I want to experiment with - I have a 1g carboy, I was thinking of racking it to that and adding some baker's chocolate, for a chocolate...

Hey everyone I put a few bottles of a brown ale I had thinking they would be decent to drink after 3 weeks in the bottle (2 in secondary, 3 in primary). Alas, after trying one I was mistaken and the beer still needs more time to mellow out. I understand the aging/conditioning process...

Hello I just purchased a 1 gallon carboy for some experimental batches - I was wandering, is there any easy way to scale down recipes to 1 gallon, without using any software? I suspect it is not as simple as just using 1/5th of the ingredients. If there is no easy way, would BeerTools or...

For fellow Georgia brewers and the owner of Brewmaster's Warehouse After spending a good 2-3 hours browsing the site, building a few recipes and filling up my cart, I whip out my wallet and get ready to finally make my order. . . only to learn that they don't ship to Georgia. Aside from the...
