Greetings everyone, I have made my fair share of fermented concoctions from beer to mead, but recently my brother was telling me about this new product available called "Brewsy." Essentially, its hook is that it can make 15% wine out of store bought juice in 5-7 days. I certainly struggle...

Greetings everyone, My last few beers have not turned out the way I have wanted them. I blame carelessness with my grains as the primary culprit. What I would like some advice on is how to best handle some of my grains so I get what I'm after. This is an extract brew... so there won't be any...

This is my first attempt at making Kombucha and there is a brown formation at the top that has me a bit nervous. It has been going for about a week. I fear it is mold, based on what you can see in these pictures- do you think this batch is ruined? thanks -Ben

Greetings HBT family, I am sure this has been covered many times over but I couldn't find it with a quick peruse. I have a new (to me) Corny keg and have put my beer into it, gotten it carbonated, and now I want to know the best way to handle my equipment. These might be dumb questions but...

I have not brewed this beer yet but I would like some thoughts. It will be a very heavy IPA but that's what I want. I have a new baby on the way and I gave up beer while my wife can't enjoy it with me. My plan is to make this in the meantime and enjoy something that will have plenty of hops...

Hi everyone, I am just beginning this recipe. I haven't brewed it yet, but am steeping 1.5 lbs of Carafa and have made my starter. I wanted some feedback on the recipe. Too much going on? Anything I should think about cutting out? Thanks for your thoughts! I rely on your input! I live in...

Hi everyone- I know every honey has a different sugar content but does anyone have a rule of thumb for ounces or cups of honey used as a priming sugar for a 5 gallon batch of beer into 12 oz bottles?

Hi Everyone, I need some help identifying my bug dilemma and any helpful hints to eradicating them. I think stink bugs may be eating my hops. I was wondering if anyone could verify if these are stink bugs or not and if they have any solutions before I lose more of my precious hops. I...

Hi everyone, I am trying my hand at making Brandon O's Graff found here (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f81/graff-malty-slightly-hopped-cider-117117/) Anyway, I went to the store and got my juice, got my grains, my DME, hops, yeast, the whole bit. Only to check on the Juice I bought to...

Hi everyone, The Scenario: I currently am in the works of making a Stout with Coffee, Vanilla, Chocolate. I cold brewed the coffee and added it to the primary. I am not sure how I would like to proceed with the chocolate and vanilla. I have 12 ozs of crushed Cacao Nibs and 45 grams of...

Hi everyone, I happily have two beers going right now- My first beer ever (brown ale) is carbonating in bottles that I am itching to try(although I think I will wait out the 3 weeks recommended by Revvy on his bottling thread), and a second (Irish Red) that is fermenting nicely. However...

Hi everyone, I'm new and I am sure this is answered elsewhere but I haven't been able to find it. I am starting my second batch and expect it to have some serious fermenting as I used a little (3/4 cup) honey and a cup of brown sugar . I was wondering if I should start with an airlock and...
