My second (Smuttynose Old Dog Clone) is in the fermenter, my first (Fat Tire Clone) is ready to drink and I just cracked open my first. Not bad, but tasted almost watered down, which got me asking a couple of questions going into my next batch. I'm using the Austin Home Brew instructions...

Used an IPA kit from Better Brew. Had specialty grains and everything (spilled some Victory which made me a sad panda) After a few days of crazy fermenting, it subsided, took a gravity reading, and it tasted fantastic. Anyhoo, quick question, some green schmutz (I've been in New York too...

Alrighty, so I've been drinking my first (Brown) brew for the past week or so. Not bad, a bit yeasty, but drinkable. Really for my first that's all I really wanted. I put one away, ready to drink in six months to taste the difference. This brew was meant to find my muscles, get my head...

My very first brown ale has been in the bottle for about 2 1/2 weeks. I've been a good boy letting them sit. I've only opened one after chilling for 2 days, so this n00b can see/taste the difference. Anyhoo, I've noticed that there is quite a bit of yeast buildup in the bottom of the...

So I use the plastic TrueBrew buckets for my fermenting and bottling. My first brown beer is all bottled up, waiting for a three week sleepy time. So I was cleaning out all of the equipment and my fermenting pail is a bit stained. This isn't going to cause off flavors, is it?

So I found a recipe for Great Divide's Yeti Stout, the gravity is really damn high, should I pitch two things of yeast? The recipe call for Wy'east's Imperial, but the closest I could find for the style from my LHBS was Irish Ale. Maybe I should double that? Thoughts?

So to calm my fiddling with my beer while it ferments, I've been researching potential styles and recipes for said styles. Anyhoo, considering A Russian Imperial Stout. I was wondering if I could throw the recipe out there and get suggestions? Am I off the style? I'm looking for an...

So I have my first brown ale fermenting for about a week, plan on checking the gravity at the end of the week, hopefully going to bottle by next week. Been looking around the forums, how-to sites, books, etc. to prevent my need to fiddle, and I realized that I didn't do the start the yeast...

So I was going to ask for tips because I was nervous about my airlock bubbling subsiding, maybe it was time for bottling my first batch of Brown ale. I was also nervous because while it the airlock was bubbling, I decided to open the lid just to see it. Saw the kraeusen, closed it, that's...

Howdy folks! I posted for questions without introducing myself, how rude am I? I'm Richard, brand spanking new to the brewing game, though a long time admirer. I'm a misplaced Colorado boy, eastbound and long island down. I'm a free lance television producer and beginning to do my...

Howdy folks, just started my home brewing journey, got a True Brew Brown Ale kit with the Brew Starter kit. I boiled it for 30ish minutes as per the instructions, however since I only have a 2 gallon pot, the brew store guy suggested that I add the hops, dry malt and Maltodextrin with half of...
