Hey guys, working on my first Porter recipe. Let me know what you think: 70% Marris Otter 10% Munich 5% Caramel 40L 5% Chocolate Malt 5% Victory malt 5% Flaked Oats Fuggles at 60 min and 5 min, bittered to 30 IBU Denny's Favorite 50 Wyeast 1450 Expected OG at 1.056. It's just over the OG...

So I'm sure this has been asked, but searching stuff like "what do you do with your beer lines if you are a couple of weeks away from connecting your next keg" was just too wordy to get me any results. Basically, I don't want mold or bacteria to form in my beer lines in the next few weeks...

My sis wants a blueberry flavored beer at her wedding. I think I'm going to go for a pale beer for now. I had thought about doing something dark and malty, but the wedding will be in the summer time, so light and crisp is the way to go. The grainbill is a modified from a Blue Moon clone I've...

Hey all - never brewed a high-abv winter warmer type of beer, so I wanted some input on my recipe: 3 gallon batch OG 1.089 72% 2row 9% Munich 9% Carawheat 4% 80L 4% Amber Candi Syrup 2% Chocolate Malt Bittered to 44 IBU Tinseth 60 min. Northern Brewer Hops .8oz 10 min...

So I recently got two used corny kegs, about 3 months apart, both from the same place. I cleaned them both very thoroughly - soap, rinse, pbw, rinse, rinse, etc. I also changed all of the o-rings on both of them. I have a new 5lb C02 tank and a new 5ft picnic tap (I think it's food grade PVC)...

Has anybody tried to enter this or know anything about it?: http://www.athensbeerfestival.com/ I paid for two entries, but it's a very vague system they've got going on. The webpage seems to be 50% updated and 50% outdated. They still have references to a 2011 competition on some of the...

Ok, so I'm brewing for a competition tomorrow. The beer has to be a stout, and everyone has 6 weeks to get their beer from grain to glass. Mine is going to be a bitter American stout with a hoppy finish. The OG is going to be about 1.069. I originally chose to use Denny's Favorite 50...

Ok, so the LHBS didn't have centennial hops, so I had to pick something on the fly, so I grabbed summit. Get back home, browse hbt to find out lots of people have gotten onion flavors from summit hops. I've seen several threads about it, but none of them came up with a concrete explanation for...

So I found a few other threads that dealt with this, but none that ended up with solutions that would help me in my case. I just brewed my 20th batch, but it was the first time I used extracts. I brewed the 5 gallon Brewer's Best Imperial Nut Brown kit. I was supposed to end up w an OG of...

The Bleu House Market is celebrating their one year anniversary with a customer appreciation day which will feature free BBQ samples and free beer! We'll probably be getting a keg of some local brew (Red Brick, Sweetwater), and I'll have my keg of homebrewed pumpkin ale there as well (assuming...

Hey all - I've been brewing beer for 7 months, but I'd like to try to start making sodas for my wife to serve at her market. My questions mostly have to do with the carbonation/serving of the soda. I think I'd like to keg rather than bottle, so that I don't have to deal with the danger of...

I had this beer during the winter and it was delicious. I haven't been able to find too much recipe info anywhere, though I did find this: http://www.bunitedint.com/information/brands/description/156/ I'm not sure where they got their info though. They classify it as an Eisenbock...

What have I done? So I had 3 gallons of beer to bottle before I went out of town, but I only had 1.5 gallons of bottles. So I siphoned all 3 gallons of beer out of the carboy, added honey (as my bottling sugar) for the total 3 gallons, but only bottled 1.5 gallons of it. I poured the...

Just gonna make a 1 gallon all grain batch today. I'm going for an IPA type of thing. Here's what I've got: 2lbs 2 row 8 oz Vienna 1 oz of Northern Brewer pellets (10.4 AA) I haven't decided on the hop schedule yet, but I'm thinking something like: .25 at 45 min .25 at 30 min .25...

I had crud built up in my blow off tube so I decided to boil it in my brand new 20 qt ss pot. I leave it boiling for 5 or 10 min and when I get back to it, the tube had gone from clear plastic to opaque white. Now I'm worried that I leached dangerous plastic chemicals into my steel pot, and...

I've only been brewing for about a month now. So far, this incredible site has been able to answer all of my newb questions, but now I finally have a unique type of question. My first two batches were 1 gallon and had pre-mixed ingredients (Brooklyn Brew Shop's Chestnut Brown Ale and their...
