So heres my question, I got the la petite orange extract kit from NB and im planning on brewing, and going over the recipe and such, and then I run into this.... 1 oz Styrian Goldings (Celeia) 60 min But heres the thing...the hops...are 1.4% AA. Even with a full boil piping hot...I...

I know theres a lot of people on here who focus more or less on extract brewing, and have been hunting around for a blue moon clone for a long time. What i've noticed in most of the attempts though, is that the end product is more or less a Hoegaarden twin, and while many will say that it...

Ok, so im doing the AHS stella clone, and it automatically comes with LME (Not typically a fan of working with LME) but anyways, I want to try and max out my performance on this one so i figure i'll do a late addition to avoid malliard reactions and a darker color. Also, i always do full boils...

I just wanted to share with everyone, thanks to the inspiration on this board, I took on the project and its finally done. Lot of great tips from others here got me there. . .

I brewed up 4 different beers, attached them all to the gas lines, threw them in the chest freezer to cool off for a while. I opened the chest this afternoon (checked it yesterday..everything was fine) and my ENTIRE 5 gallons of West Coast Pale was on the floor of my chest freezer, with my...

So, ive had an AHS belgian white kit in the primary for 4 weeks now, and i went to keg it tonight and i usually taste a sample of my beer to get an idea of the flavor profile before i tuck it away...and sure enough there was a residual "icky" sweetness to it. I recognize this flavor because i...

Heres a tip to anyone who is feeling a hint of laziness when it comes to clean-up. Don't do what I did: So, I had just finished up fermenting a belgian wit in a 6.5 gal garboy, which had been sitting in there for about 4 weeks or so. I went ahead and racked it to a keg. Well, once I...

I was trying to knock this one around in my head and i cant quite figure it out, so i thought perhaps someone wiser than I might have a clue. So, i brewed a midwest extract, the belgian grand cru (6 lbs light DME, 2 lbs honey, 8 oz steeping grains, 2 oz hallertau hops, 1 oz coriander, .5 oz...

I was just wondering if anyone else ran into this situation, where they made a ton of mistakes either by chance or because it was their first batch...and that batch ends up being remarkably great. I made an amber ale where i screwed up a bunch of things...I forgot my moss, I forgot to throw...

Ok so heres my question, and i suspect ill have to fall back to some of the grizzled veterans on here for a consensus on this one. When you're using an immersion wort chiller to get the temp down to yeast pitch levels, any who has tried knows that agitating the chiller in the wort will...

At the moment, im boiling a hefe weizen up, but heres the problem. My wyeast 3056 activator for it isnt expanding like normal (its 3.5 months old or so). So, it seems clear theres a delayed reaction going on there probably due to the inactive state of the yeast. So heres my question, what...

I'm just getting into kegging and just bought a CO2 tank and dual gauge regulator, well i finally got it filled today and i hooked it up, and when i opened the CO2 tank valve, gas was rushing out of the area in the picture i circled in red. Any tips? Am i forgetting something or is the...

Ok, im going to be making the jump to kegging and i want to clear some facts up that i was unable to resolve researching the forum. 1.) After pulling the beer out of the primary and racking it to the keg, will it condition better at room temperature or kegerator serving temperature? 2.)...

Heres my question: Im making a fairly potent belgian ale at the moment, and i threw it in the primary 7 days ago today, and roughly 12 hours after i put it in, its been fermenting a storm. Gas discharge through the blowoff tube roughly every 10 seconds. Now...I would like to transfer it to...

Hi, i wanted to ask the pros around here for an opinion. I went ahead with an amber ale for a first time malt extract brew and the boil went well. I think its important to note that i had an especially large kettle so i did a full 5 gallon boil off the bat. It did take me a few hours to...
