Just brewed this stout. O.G. Was low. 1.40. Should of been around 1.5. What happened? How will the brew turn out? This is the second stout that I have had problems with. Not sure what is going on. All me other brews come out dead on.

So awhile back I built myself a counterflow chiller. Testing it with clean hot water I got amazing results! The problem is when I used it with a hot wort it would get clogged with trub. I tried a mesh filter on end of siphon and that would get clogged. OK yes I thought about filtering the...

Ive been making beer without any carbonation issues. Thought I would make my kids some soda and used a Rainbow Flavors extract from the brew supply store and a champagne yeast. It has been two weeks and I popped a bottle today and it flatter than flat. Any suggestions? Very frustrated.

Hey guys, Any thoughts would be appreciated. Brewed a BB Irish Stout 9 days ago with White labs Irish stout yeast. My last three beers have gotten to their FG in 7 days. This one is still only at 1.020 and should be btw 1.011-1.014. Do you think it is stuck fermentation or just needs more...

I couldn't help myself. I thought this was great, albeit old and everyone here has probably already seen it. Maybe this can be a place to post funny pics about beer, out favorite pastime. Thanks for playing!

I recently brewed a Wit and after bottling I reclaimed some of the Wyeast 3463 Forbidden Fruit from the carboy. It was a slurry but has sinced settled in a sterilized quart jar. If I wanted to reuse this how much should be used? Can it be split up into seperate batches for pitching? Do I...

Can anyone tell me why my Hoegaarden Wit came out more orange than the signature soft yellow? Dissapointed. I will be bottling this today after 4 weeks fermenting. Is this an effect of water chemistry? Ingredients below. 8oz flaked wheat 8 oz belgian aromatic malt 4 oz flaked oats 4 oz oat...

This might be a stupid question but are any suggestions on where to get a proper water chemistry test for brewing. Thanks!

Ok so I built a counterflow chiller that worked really well during a test run with boiling water. Today I decided to brew an Irish Stout, everything went smoothly until it was time to chill the wort. Disaster struck and I panicked. The wort started to flow nicely then it would not flow...

Well I have to say I am hooked. I've brewed three beers and I have already built myself a counterflow chiller. Using this site for help I might add! This rig is unbelievable. It's not pretty but it works like a charm. I almost can't believe it. This is just a test run but I boiled 3...

Is it normal to keep checking on your brew? Is it bubbling? Is it warm enough? Does it smell right(no infection)? I have three kids and I am a protective Dad... Now. Its like I have a fourth. ;-)

Has anyone brewed a Brewers Best Irish Stout? This is my fourth brew and I have never tried Brewers Best. I was wondering if it will be good on it's own or should I play with recipe? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I just brewed my third brew. A clone of a Hoegaarden White Ale. I had a brain cramp and added the flavor hops, coriander and orange peel during the 45 min boil instead of after. What will my outcome be? All flavor lost? Is there any way to add flavor later? Help.
