Got this tonight in a pick 6 from my local microbrew packy. I gotta tell you, this got a mostly horrible review over at BA....I really liked it. I suppose that is because I have quite a sweet tooth, and was in the mood for something sweet tonight. My only problem with this "lager"...is...

Anyone find one of these at a common brick and mortar store? Lowes, Home Depot, Wal-mart....something like that? Need to find one for this weekend, and don't want to pay a arm and a leg.

I plan on going all grain, and I had created a Mash tun from a 70 quart Coleman Xtreme a couple years ago that has been sitting in my closet now. My question is...for 5 gallon...(total 6.5 gallon of wort before boil) batches is this too large? I may end up doing 10 gallon batches down the...

And it's horrible. Primary for 3 weeks at 65 degrees in a temp controlled kegerator. Tasted a sample at 2 weeks, and it tasted like bubble gum. Moved to secondary tonight...horrible bubble gum flavor. Was supposed to be my halloween party beer. Thoughts as to why this happened, will...

It just hit me today...I've been road blocked for too long...

Tis the season! So for those of you looking to make Thunderstruck or any other seasonal brew, this is the perfect spice mix to make your "tea" from. This is the clone recipe for Pampered Chefs "Cinnamon Plus" for those of you who can't seem to find it, or need it in short order. The dried...

What do you guys recommend? Is there truth to not using aluminum for brewing beer? Looking for an affordable solution, I'm sure there has to be a steal somewhere on the internet! P.s. I'm still doing all my boils on the stove. Have a sanke I'm going to convert someday for outside brews...

I can't seem to find the following at any of my LHBS, and am wondering if the following ingredients may be known as something else? Caramel 10°L Flaked Wheat Caravienne Malt The flaked wheat I understand should be substituted entirely as this is an extract with specialty grains recipe...

So...I brewed my SWMBO Slayer last weekend after a trip to the LHBS. I was given replacements for the recipe based on what the guy had in stock. Today I found a link to Mrmalty.com, and while looking through it, I realized the yeast I wanted...which was WLP400, and the one he gave me that he...

Looking for a stout recipe that is both chocolaty, creamy, and sweet. Kind of like a dessert beer...a chocolate milk kind of beer. Something that hides the alcohol well...that you wouldn't notice too much until you already had too many. LOL Anyone have a recipe like that? Preferably an...

So last night before I go to bed, I check up on my SWMBO Slayer in my keggerator. Been in there since Sunday night. The temp in the keggerator is 90 on my thermometer. The beer temp is 76! Why? Because somehow, the new light I installed was running for about 6 hrs STRAIGHT. Kicking off...

After reading this poor blokes issues: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f36/i-may-quit-soon-help-131283/ Is Diacetyl something I need to worry about? I am fermenting in a fridge with a johnson controls set to around 60. Fermenting beer is at 65 degrees. It'll be a week fermenting on Sunday. There...

Can't get the Tree Top Juice anywhere near me. Have local cider mills producing cider this time of year, but not sure if that's ok or juice only. Can anyone help me with a recommendation? I'd love to get this going now in time for the cold winter months!

So I ended up with a paltry 1.043-ish on my SWMBO Slayer I brewed last night using the extract version of the recipe. Pretty bummed out...how could that have happened?

Doing the extract + specialty grains recipe of this beer, using the following recipe. 3 lb. Wheat DME 2 lb. Extra Lght DME 8 oz. Caramel 10°L 8 oz. Flaked Wheat 4 oz. Caravienne Malt 1 oz. Willamette My LHBS didn't have Flaked Wheat, or Caravienne Malt, so the guy who runs the place...

So I have a dedicated full size refrigerator with taps that is currently not being used for tapped kegs. My question is, generally speaking, is it best to ferment in a fridge? My house is a furnace due to the sun beating on it all day, and the basement is generally always humid, and not very...

So...about 4 years or better ago...I made a wine. What kind, I have no idea. My now ex wanted a wine, being a homebrewer, I figured sure...what the heck. It was a kit from my LHBS. Anywho. It's been in my closet now, way in the back. And I just found it today while cleaning. /ducks It's...

My soda kegs have been sitting in the basement for a couple of years, and one was left behind by a roommate with soda in it....in the fridge...that was unplugged. Needless to say, it's a mess. Somehow, bugs infested the fridge. I cleaned them all out...however I have a couple questions. One...

So I'm looking to brew up a batch of beer for this Halloween, so I have to get started asap. My question is, a vast majority of the drinker at the party like flavorless beer. I.e Coors, bud light etc. They complain that beers with flavor are too heavy, too dark, too bitter etc...
