I have been in the beer business for a while and I fix gas leaks all the time. I take pride in getting it done quickly and efficiently. So it was infinitely frustrating for me to have one in my personal kegerator and not be able to figure it out for months! So tonight rather than damn near climb...

I found some at the farmers market. It's purple and crazy looking, and I want to brew a saison with some. After hours of searching, I can not find a single reference to using fresh (as opposed to dried) hibiscus sepals here or elsewhere. I'm a little worried about imparting a vegetable or weedy...

I am brewing a double oatmeal stout in a few days, and plan to add the roasted barley and chocolate malt at about 5 - 10 minutes before sparging. I have very soft water (HCO3 23ppm, every other ion under 6 ppm), and plan to add chalk to increase alkalinity. I feel like if I add the chalk long...

I've made two smoked beers in the past using Weyermann and while they were very good, the smokiness just wasn't there for me. So this time I had easy access to Best Malz, and I used it thinking it would be somewhat similar to Weyermann. I was wrong. I transferred it to secondary last night...

Hi guys, I was wondering why one should not move the SCOBY before the batch is finished. I have been told not to, but can't figure out why. I have a five gallon batch that is now 19 days old. It is not nearly as sour as I'd like. I made a 1 gallon batch with the exact same recipe/proportions...
