I made a critical error somewhere along the lines in my lager Oktoberfest (And this is actually the fourth time I've made it, so it should've been fine..) and it has a weird chemicalish taste undertone to it. I noticed it a bit before I lagered it and it was still there when I bottled and now...

I don't imagine I'll have trouble figuring out where to drink in any of these European cities, but anyone have any cool suggestions of breweries or beer halls to check out? Is it bad not to go to Heineken? Hitting Munich/Oktoberfest in the middle of it.

Anyone ever been? I've sorta fancied myself as the 'beer guy' of Mets fandom, so I've been curious about other parks. Someone told me they serve experimental beers at the brewery stand in Coors Field. So who's been there? Do they really try out some cool/weird stuff or is it mostly blue...

Was planning on a single brew day today. I brew at my parents place for space issues, so I asked my mother to smash my yeast packets before I got here. Unfortunately she also hit the packet for the beer I want to brew next Saturday. Think it'll be okay if I mix up some sort of starter and...

I was thinking about a blueberry blonde ale next, and was reading some threads that mentioned to be careful of the wild yeast in/on the blueberries and it got me thinking.. What if I just dumped the wort on top of a whole ton (not literally) of fresh blueberries (clearly would want organic...

I'm sure all of you that brew more often won't find this odd,but I just recalled that I had a dream in which I was brewing beer last night. I remember dumping the wort off the stone into the fermenter and the total volume was only 3gallons, which I seemed depressed about, but then I...

Apologizes if this is common knowledge and I'm just out of the loop, but I couldn't find anything in Google. My brother up in Boston was at a bar and had something he said was definitely Sam Adams Pine beer and he said they told him not to talk about it on the internet.. (hey, they didn't...

I was thinking of something with chocolate and strawberry, but I procrastinated and now I think that's better shelved until wintertime. My next thought was to make a root beer beer. Nothing crazy, just maybe adding a wee bit of Sarsaparilla and wintergreen. I'm thinking it might be...

I'm brewing with extracts and steeped grain. This is my second time doing this particular recipe, the first time I had 8lbs of DME, and got an alcohol % of 7.9%. This beer is intended for a more general audience and I was hoping to knock it to down to a more average amount, so (stupidly, I...

I brewed my first (extract with grains) lager beer, an Octoberfest. I think it tastes very good, and I wanted to tweak it a bit, when I discovered that Munich grain needs to be mashed, not steeped. Now, I used German Munich, Caramunich, and Vienna grains in the beer, but did I end up not...
