So my friend grew cascade hops in his backyard and wanted me to brew something for him with them. I have one question. With homegrown hops how do I know the AA%? Or do I just wing it? Any advice? The picture is of the hops. Those are gallin size and over a pound in total.

Hey everyone I have my first infection. After about 20 brews under my belt this showed up in my newest Porter. I made it and it sat for 4 weeks in the primary and after one week in the secondary this happened almost overnight, it has nothing on top of it up until last check on Thursday. It...

I made a robust porter from all grain. My OG was 1.076 and I made a starter with wyeast London Ale. A month later I checked my FG and it was 1.02. Is that still too high? It tasted decent, hard to tell. The FG is stable. PS my starter didn't really take off and I might've underpitched. Do I...

So I have made about 4 partial mash batches and now 2 AG. My hydrometer and gravity readings are off. I never quite hit an OG I'm always low. I.e. 1.045 instead of 1.052. I always hit my mash temps + or - 3 degrees. I've had different places mill my grain. I hit my batch sizes as well. Now...

I have looked around this site a while and I want to resue the Wyeast American Ale that i would use for both my IPA and Pale ale, I brewed the IPA first, is the yeast stressed, the OG was 1.060. I know that you are suppossed to go from less to more, but would it affect the little yeasties?
