I've got a Wyeast 2565 / Kolsch brew that's near FG and is really slowing down in a 59 dF chamber, and this brew is getting near the all-said-and-done part of the show. Smells good, looks good, everything's normal. To finish her up, I am thinking of taking it out of the cooling and letting it...

Went to the World Beer Festival in Durham NC Saturday, and one of the many (MANY!) fine brews that I tried was a Florida brew called "Orange Blossom Pilsner." It was a kolsch-like beer (yes, I know it says pilsner) meaning very light, and not hoppy but the schtick behind this brew was that it...

This is not my first time to the rodeo, and with over a couple of hundred batches brewing, thought I had seen most everything that could happen. Well, that just goes to show you! :) Anyway, I added roughly 64 ounces of apple juice mixed with a cherry juice concentrate -- both "all natural"...

Looks like Fritz Maytag is going to retire and pass the torch of Anchor Brewery on. Novato Group Acquires Anchor Brewery I can remember my first Anchor Steam, back in the 1970's. I was 18, just come back from Europe, and was wishing I could have a fresh version of the brews I had enjoyed...

An experiment in borrowing invert-simple sugar extension from the Golden Ale and Trippels of the world. Wanted to have a little bit of "local flavor" too -- so I used locally produced unfiltered honey. It worked out very nicely and this keg is emptying all too quickly. Recipe: Honey Witbier -...

Four days ago, I kegged the next step in the evolution of a long-standing wit recipe I brew ... it's one of the standard house beers because everyone seems to like it and it goes down pretty easily. Too easily, actually, because I am already thinking I need to get more in the fermenter ASAP...

Hey guys, I searched for this and didn't come out with anything directly addressing my question...so.... I have an extra refrigerator that came with our house, and I would like to use that for controlling temps for lagers and from time to time cooler temps like 62°F for ales. As it is with...

Here's a couple labels I made for a batch of giveaway Belgian Witbier....

An idea crossed my head on the way home from work today in regards to brewing Dubblel/Trippel recipes, and I thought I might post this to pick the brains of everyone here: we all know Candi sugar is pretty @#$ expensive, and that while Candi sugar (sucrose) is a decent substitute, too much and...

Hi Folks, I finally quit lurking and registered for the site tonight. Been reading threads here for quite a while now. My name's Charles, I live in Raleigh, NC and have been brewing for about 28-odd years. I started as most people do, with plastic buckets, extracts, a too-small pot and...
