I've never brewed anything this big or with so much Munich (70%) before, so I'll do my best to not turn this into a "did I ruin my beer?" thread. O.G. of 1.082. It spent 2 months at 58*F. I just transferred to start a lager period (I was thinking at least 6 months, maybe a year - no rush)...

Is there any reason a 9" False Bottom (which works great in my 5 gallon cooler) couldn't be used in a 10 gallon cooler?

I've collected 2, 1 qt. mason jars worth of yeast cake from a pilsner I brewed and they have been sitting in a fridgerator for about a week now. I'd love to be able to seperate the best yeast from the tired yeast, trub, hop residue and whatever else is in there. I was wondering if there is a...

I pitched my first lager about 24 hrs ago and and the activity is nothing like I expected from my ale experience. Do lagers ferment that much slower? I always had amazing airlock action using safeale-56, vigorous bubbling well within 12 hours of pitching - no starter or rehydration, just...

This may belong in the beginner section, so please bear with me... I've always bottled with corn sugar and have come familiar with what to expect. Bottling tomorrow and only have 2 oz when I normally use 6. I have about 8 oz of wheat DME that I could supplement with. I was thinking of using...

Caution: I'm about to stick my foot in my mouth. I've read just about everything that I can get my hands on about conducting my mash and can't find info for what I'm looking for. (I know, I probably didn't look hard enough and enter EAC dialoge here) Caution: I'm about to nerd out here -...

And I wish I was talking about the temperature. I just racked a stout to secondary and the taste of the hydrometer sample brings me here. I mashed too low and fermented too high in temp, so I know what I did wrong and I was expecting what I got. My question is, is there any hope? I must be...

I've never brewed a stout before and would like to humbly ask for any help with what I've got so far for grain bill and hopping. (I should be able to handle the rest) 8 lbs of 2 row pale 1 lb flaked barley .75 lb roasted barley .5 lb carapils .25 lb chocolate Single infusion at...

I should preface this with: I'm going to be rather long winded here and there's a chance there's an existing thread that answers my question, but I haven't found it. The short version of my question is: should a cream ale end up cloudy like a hefe? So, if the answer exists out there, please...

Can it be done? It's getting late in the day and I don't think I can make it through the entire brew. The thought crossed my mind to just do the mash tonight and save the boil for the next day. I figure with respect to sanitation, it should be okay since I'd boil everything the next day...

I just wanted to say hello and quickly introduce myself. I'm a rookie with about half a dozen batches under my belt, but I've been reading along here since day one. I'd like to give a big, general "Thanks" for all of the help so far. That said, the time has come to start humbly asking for...
