I'm planning a beer inspired by one of the beers in the Sierra Nevada Beer Camp 12er, Maillard's Odyssey (my favorite of the bunch). I use the term "inspired by" instead of "clone" because I don't think I have the brewing skills, and I certainly don't have the recipe formulation skills, to make...

Planning on brewing a hopped up red ale tomorrow as follows: 9 lbs 2-Row 10oz CaraHell 10oz CaraMunich 4oz Pale Chocolate Malt 2oz Centennial @ 60min 2oz Amarillo @ flame out 2oz Centennial @ flame out Giving credit where credit is due here is the original recipe...

So I built a hopspider yesterday and have been second guessing things ever since. My major reservation is that I used galvanized bolts, nuts and washers so now I'm concerned something will leach off into my beer. Obviously it's not touching the wort but does get hot hanging out above everything...

Need a little help here. I've had a pretty consistent off flavor in most of my beers. Sometimes it's faint, some it's not, sometimes it's not there at all. I'm thinking it's a band-aid like flavor and my tap water has chlorine in it so I'm wondering if that is the culprit. I began filling up...

So I just got hit with my first infection and I'm trying to think ahead to what I should do to prevent one in my next batch. I've racked my brain and can't for the life of me figure out where the infection came from so I'm gonna clean/sanitize the hell out of everything. My only concerns are...

...or then again maybe not. Got all this stuff on the top but it hasn't really changed at all over the past week, and now I think I may have overreacted. Since I already started a thread I figured I'd update it and maybe get some reassurance (maybe even the obligatory Revvy "it's just yeast...

I'm planning on brewing in the morning and wanted to make sure my plan for making a couple minor adjustments was a decent one. My main concern is chlorine (which I confirmed with my local utilities dept. is not chloramine). I've read that this will dissipate on its own if left uncovered so my...

Still shocked that this sold out so fast this year. Tix have obviously been hard to come by but I figured I'd throw up a post here and hope for the best. Looking for three but will take anything.

Water chemistry is a bit above my head so I'm hoping for some feedback on what I need to/should do. Also wanted to throw this out there for anyone else in the Boulder area that might be curious about this. pH: 8.0 Na: 3 K: <1 Ca: 19 Mg: <1 Total hardness CaCO3: 52 SO4-S: 2 Cl: 3 CO3: 6 HCO3...

I've read everywhere that chlorine will boil off; however, the part I'm not sure about is if I need to boil all my mash water beforehand or if all the chlorine will boil off in the kettle afterwords. I'm chasing an odd off flavor that pops up in most of my brews to some degree and since my...
