I brewed a Saison during the summer, and ever since the last five batches have all had the Saison flavor profile on top of what is supposed to be there. All new batches are made with separate yeasts at low temperatures (68~). Prior to brewing the Saison, beers were great. I am thinking either...

My very first recipe, born out of the bordom of long car trip several years ago. This has gone through many varriations and tweaks to become what it is today, the staple house ale of the "Dorm Room Brewing Co". (Everyones got roots) Its hoppy with vibrant lemon aroma and flavor coming from the...

I went down to check on my batch of ale last night and found that my airlock wasn't sealed properly... and regardless of what I did, it refused to form a good seal. Being the ever impatient amateur that I am, I decided to immediately clean then rack to the secondary where I knew the seal would...
