OK, I'm planning early for a change. I was excited to see it falls on a weekend this year so I thought I might throw a party. I'm thinking of brewing three beers, a Dry/Oatmeal Stout, a Irish Red, and the third is up in the air. I wanted to brew something I could dye green. But I can't do...

I made up 10 gallons of Dunkelwiezen. The plan was to keg 5 and bottle 5. all went well and I had most of the bottles filled when SWMBO informed me that I was out of caps!! SO I had already added 4 oz. of priming sugar to the bottling bucket. I poured the remaining bottles back in the bucket...

Ok, so i've read a bit, and it has lead to a ton of questions, but I'll just ask a few... long time beer brewer, first time (hopefully) wine maker. I have some grapes growing on my back fence, from the nieghbors. they are small, green variety of grape. they have been sour, but recently have...

seriously I made a 5 gallon batch of witbier, never have a problem with it before, at the end of the boil, i racked to my carboy to find only 2.5 gallons!! wtf?! :confused: I looked over my water additions to the mash plus sparge was 7 gallons which should have left me with plenty after draining...

Quick one guys, my Russian imperial stout has oak, port wine, and cacao nibs. Does that mean I have to enter wood aged category, or can I enter ris. Also is wood aged category REALLY hard to do well?

I have a weird question, but figure you guys must be experts in the subject. We are having our wedding reception for about 120 guests. My friends and I drink a lot of craft beers. There are a lot of people in our family though that are BMC drinkers. And quite a few winos. We are having about 36...

5 lb bottle would fit better on its side, is this ok?

I have a recipe that came out good. I think I wrote the recipe my self, and it's great. I was thinking of aging it on a bourbon barrel or a wine barrel. I might have a connection on the bourbon barrel, and might want to buy the wine barrel for around 60$ i think. My concern it that they...

Ok, so this was my first massive grain bill, that was targeted to hit 1.100 @ 75% efficiency. So it took 20lbs. of grain, and I used 1 lb. rice hulls. I don't think it is wise to do that in a 5g cooler mash tun. Couldn't stir the mash at all, bent my plastic spoon/paddle, then the sparge...

I've picked up this odd flavour in a extract pale ale, partial mash IPA, and AG American Red Ale. Not in my stouts though. I thought it was bad hops, but each beer uses different kind of hops. It's kind of bitter, cardboardy and bready too. In the Red ale it's esspacially like a yeasty...

It started when I printed off a recipe from beer smith. Took it to the LHBS and the guy there handed me four pounds of grain for a Irish REd... umm... So beer smith just put down 1 pound of each of the ingredients, not the actual wieght, never had that happen before. So I just got 9 more...
