So I recently brewed a recipe for a saison that has proved to be a keeper. I decided to change the yeast up. I pitched a sizeable starter of WLP670 and it swirled and had 2-3 seconds in between bubbles on the airlock for 6 days straight. I've brewed well over 100 batches of beer, and have...

Are any of you guys going to weather the storm tonight? I'll be there at 11pm, would love to talk brewing with some fellow beer nerds!

So, I'm really trying to wow my boss and convince him to let me brew on his 1 bbl pilot system(I work for a commercial brewery manufacturer). I decided I'm going to do a Blonde Coffee/chocolate stout. Blonde/golden in color, full bodied, pronounced chocolately/coffee flavors, and the...

So, I've been sitting on a carboy filled with a citra session IPA that has pellicles formed on the top. This is my first infected batch after approx. 100 batches, and I know why it got infected..but I still can't bring myself to pitch it. Is this worth throwing a slurry of brett into it with...

Hey everyone, I follow a blog that just posted this "how to" for brewing on a 30 BBL system and figured I would share. The brewer that posted it brews for Modern Times brewery here in San Diego, and makes some fantastic beer. I found it very interesting, especially because I work for the...

I just woke up this morning at 8:30(I went to bed at 4:00) to what I thought to be a gunshot. I jumped out of bed from a dead sleep and opened my closet to find one of my oatmeal stouts sprayed all over my closet and shards of glass everywhere. My body was in such shock, that I was shaking...

Does anyone have a good all grain recipe for eye of the hawk? Thanks in advance!

I just planted hops yesterday, with the help of my girlfriends mom(she's a gardening fiend) When should I expect to be able to actually use the hops I planted? I know it will be atleast a year(from what I've heard). I'm super excited to use home grown hops, so I was just curious. Thanks in...

So, I just started all grain brewing today and it was a hell of a lotta fun. I got the grain for 2 batches and brewed up one batch and just pitched the yeast a few mins ago.. My problem is, I thought I had 3 carboys but I can't find the 3rd(2 of them are currently in use)..so I didn't brew my...

So, my LHBS is having a Russian River Brewing tasting this Sunday. They got 1 keg of pliny the younger and they are doing 1 ticket per person @ 10 bucks for an 8oz pour. I've had the elder, and it's delicious..is it that much different than the elder?

So I'm on a stout/porter kick and I really wanna try an oatmeal stout. It occurred to me that an oatmeal raisin stout would be absolutely delicious. Has anyone done this before? I planned on turning the raisins into a puree and adding them to the primary. Does that sound right? It didn't...

I'm still new to brewing, and I'm just doing extract brewing at the moment..but why all grain? My friend said you get a higher yield from extract, and I can have my LHBS mill the grain and make a dme of exactly what I want at no extra cost.(EX 6 lbs wheat, 1 lb dark) Is it it more fun...

If you don't know what it is, google it. We have been faithful to each other...from my standpoint anyways. Although, I just went on a trip to Portland this past weekend and she went out to the bar with her friend, to dance. I was faithful. BUT We are now house sitting for her family...
