Hello everyone, I've recently switched over to kegging and I've been having some off flavors. I used to bottle and never really had any problems but I've gone through two batches that have had the same off taste. Originally I thought my first batch got infected but the most recent one also has...

Yesterday I brewed a 5 gallon mini-mash kit of Hefeweizen from AHS and was perusing around on HBT and I realized it's been quite a while since I've been active here. I was thinking about the issues I've had with brewing so far, and they are that I haven't brewed as much as I'd like and usually...

I have an issue with my JAOM. My tiny autosiphon broke so I had to use my one for a 5-gallon carboy. Unfortunately I couldn't really get all of the mead out because of the size of the autosiphon and the fruit on the bottom of the jug. I went to clean out the jug I started my JAOM in and felt it...

I was thinking of skipping the middleground of high-priced kit beers (I made a True Brew Porter as my first brew) and I'm thinking of going for a mini-mash. At least I believe it is considered one because of the amount of grains. The recipe is simply the Doppelbock that can be found in the...

Hey all, On Friday (1/20) I started a True Brew Porter kit. I waited until I saw signs of fermentation about 3 hours later, and threw in yeast nutrient and yeast energizer. As soon as the mixture hit the beer, it instantly kicked the ferment to go into hyperdrive and it almost foamed over...

Hello all, I decided to get into homebrewing over Christmas and I finally got my equipment in. Right now I have a 5g batch of Porter, a 1g Batch of sweet mead and I decided to try to be adventurous and try to make a 1 gallon batch of Apple Pie spiced mead. The ingredients I used for the Apple...
