So im in the position in my brewing experience where i want to try a starter. My next brew planned is a pale ale. OG 1.049. Batch size 3.25 gallons. MR Malty says i need 112 billion cells. I'm looking for 78% attenuation to hit 5% abv using WLP001. I'm borrowing a stir plate, so according...

I racked it from my secondary to keg and everything went strangely smooth. I decided to try a conservative force carb method (one attraction was the shorter carb time compared to bottles). Mind you, this is a 3 gallon batch in a 5 gallon keg, so there is plenty of headspace.. So, i set the...

So ive never made a Porter. I've done some research on here as well as looking at nb.com and mws.com's porter kits and have taken cues from them as well as Jamil. The style im aiming for is a Baltic Porter. 5 gal batch 89% 9.0 lb light dme 4% Black Patent 4% Chocolate Malt 4%...

i know i know, "every tank has a tw on it" "all the tanks i've seen have tw stamped on it." Yes, ive searched. Perhaps my search skills are lacking, but i couldnt find an answer for a 5# tank. My friend just gave me his old kegerator along with a 5# tank. He said he didnt know how much...

I've searched the forums and the web, I'm set on giving the ebiab a shot. While ive done biab on a gas stove and in an electric oven, mash temps are something i want to control. Turning on and off the gas stove is a pain, as well as putting mash in the oven. I cant find straight up answers...

A few buddies and I have been brewing for a few years between all of us. We've done some hoppy beers (80, 95, 125, 130 ibus) and we've done some high abv beers (8.8, 9.9, 10.2) but for the hell of it, we want to go bigger. Not only do we want to go bigger but we want to use Columbus (a hop...

Greetings all, I originally was going to do a porter but have gone to the darker side and decided to do a stout. Yeah, thats right, i like rich dark beers in the summer. :drunk: anyways, onto the recipe.. 5 gallon batch, 3 gallon boil, mini mash. 4.50# Light LME 2.25# 2-row .75#...

Hello all! Quick question, im wondering if my grain bill below has enough 2 row to make the mini mash worth while. I dont really want to go any higher (heavier) since i'll already be down to 1qt/lb in the smaller pot i have which will fit nicely into my oven to mash. 2.5# 2 row .75#...

I've done a couple PM batches and I'd like to step into AG (so cheap!!) however, i only have one 5gal pot and one 5gal cooler to use as a MLT. The recipe im looking only calls for 10.5 pounds of grain which will fit in the MLT. My problem comes up when we get to boil size, I can...

I brewed an imperial IPA last friday, aerated, pitched and saw TONS of activity in the first 24 hours, after about 48 hours the yeast dropped and no bubbling (i know this is no indictation that fermentation is over). Up until today, it was sitting in my closet at a constant 70 degrees. Well...

Hey yalls. Doing my first batch using Orange Honey. I know the honey has some more complex sugars and usually people say to add the honey to the primary after the first few days, however, im not going for a strong honey flavor. Im going for more of a drying effect with some honey notes. So...
