I am going to do a Founders Red Rye clone full boil with an estimated finished 11 gallons. I am using 13 pounds of grain with 8 pounds of DME. I am thinking I should do a partial mash using 13 gallons total. Start with 3 gallons steeped for 45-60 min @ 150-155 degrees. Then sparge with 10...

I brewed an amber IPA 13 gallon full boil using 12# amber DME and almost 4 pounds of specialty grains. I used 2 - 6.5 gallon carboys with a starter of washed WLP001 yeast in each. Ended up with almost 6 gallons in each carboy. Now after 4 weeks and seemingly stable gravity, both carboys still...

I dropped the ball and didn't order any hop rhizomes early this year. I found a spot at my parents to put some posts and wire to grow horizontally. Now I have called a few places and no luck. Anybody know of any available or am I SOL until next year? Thanks in advance.

I'm going to do a partial mash clone of Founders Red Rye Ale. I researched this forum as well as a couple others, used Hoppville and BrewTarget ( since they are free) to get the numbers I was looking for ( both were exact numbers) and this is what I can up with. Mash amount: 7 gallons Boil...

Hope this is the right section for this... I'm not sure if I'm steeping or partial mashing? So as a newer brewer with 8 batches under my belt, I decided to go to a full boil. I've done a few kits and a few clones and now a few of my own recipes. Only problem was I couldn't brew it fast...

I brewed a partial grain Brewers Best kit American Amber for 5 gallons and would like to do it in a 12 gallon full boil. Here is what I started with: 3.3# Amber LME 2.5 lb Amber DME 1# Carmel 80l 1.25 oz bittering Golding hops .5 oz aroma Nugget hops OG 1.050 FG 1.015 I hit...

I ordered a 62 Qt stainless stock pot so I could do 10 gallon batches. I plan on doing a full boil with 12 gallons, plan on losing 1 gallon to evaporation which should leave 5.5 gallons for two carboys to ferment and rack 5 gallons each. So I have a few questions... 1 - I assume I just...

Just dry hoped my Citra Pale Ale over another 1oz Citra hops. Used a 5 gallon water jug and a gallon growler. Placed sanitized foil over top. Is this going to be OK for 7 days and then rack to bottles? Never done it before. Also... in a lat minute decision to save the rest of the beer, I...

So I have brewed 5 batches of beer... 2 kits with Nottingham ale yeast and stepping grain and 3 with WLP001 California ale yeast and all DME. I washed the WLP001 and used for my last two batches with more in the fridge. I am looking for another WLP yeast that can be used for my next several...

Just went past my carboys and noticed the airlock was knocked off. Probably been this way for 20 hours or so. It has been fermenting for 10 days at 62-64 degrees. I put the stopper back in just now. Should I be worried about infection?

Getting ready to brew another batch this weekend and using up stuff I have... no grain this time, all DME. I keep reading you shouldn't add to the beginning boil and others who say it doesn't matter. I'm going to use 3 different kinds of DME and total of 7#. When do you advise to add to...

Went to the local brewery and pub for dinner and had what they called "Exponential 17" which had 17 additions of Cirta hops in the schedule. Really aromatic with a grapefruit aftertaste. Darker than a light beer, but lighter then an Amber. I managed to get 3 oz out of them after a little...

Here is some washed yeast and spent grains I used to make some bread. I had problems with my starter not working and after several hours, just added some bread yeast to get going. I wanted beer taste, so I warmed the washed yeast and added 2 tbl of sugar to the beer/yeast mixture. Nothing...

Friend brought me two cases of empties... said he can get me at least a case a month for as long as I want. Any reason, other than looking pretty ugly, that I shouldn't use these until I acquire enough brown long necks? No twist bottles are hard to find around here unless your buying full ones.

Been tossing the idea around of brewing beer as I really like to drink beer and we have a lot of micro breweries around to try different flavors and varieties. My wife got me a home brew kit from one of our favorite spots to eat, Shoreline Brewery, for Christmas. Decided that I needed to...
