    HI all, My son is in a baseball tournament in Aberdeen MD this weekend. Any good local beer recommendations I can find in stores to bring back home? Thanks!

    Obama is a homebrewer

    Hate is fine - I don't care who hates who. But to question what you enjoy doing because someone you don't like enjoys it too is f'ing stupid! "I like X, but if Wolfhound180 likes X, then I must hate X!" PC/majority has nothing to do with it (and neither does politics)... have a brain of...

    Cost tracking (Beware if your scared of numbers)

    Hey wfowlks, any chance you were up watching the Sox/O's game?? As much as the extra innings loss pains me, it is great to see Baltimore winning this year - outside of Fenway, Camden Yards is my favorite park.

    Extract or all grains

    To the OP I am 6 months into my second stint of homebrewing, and in both cases I started out with extract brewing and moved on to all grain. Either way, you can make great beers you are thrilled to drink and proud to share… Brewing sessions for extract are definitely quicker (approx. 2 to...

    Cost tracking (Beware if your scared of numbers)

    As Ryush806 intimated, looking at the cost vs savings of your hobby is going to be quite a bit different than examining the viability of a new (for profit) business. In examining your costs, there is a distinction between average and marginal - marginal is the cost of the next batch and should...

    Adding fruit to a stuck fermentation

    Hi all, After a 12 -13 year hiatus, I brewed my first all grain batch - got back into brew earlier this year with a couple of extract batches before I dug out all my old all grain equipment. I brewed an American Wheat, here is the recipe... 4lb pale malt 4lb wheat malt 4oz flaked...

    My First Gravity Reading Question

    Hi NFamato, It sounds like you have only taken the 1 gravity reading 12 days into fermentation - is that correct? In order to calculate an estimated alcohol content, you need to take a gravity reading before you pitch your yeast and again once when fermentation is done. The difference...

    Session pale ale hop addition

    Hi Sendkyleanemail and Martin, Thanks for the feedback! I was intentionally seeing how low I could go with this one, but after both your comments I think I will add another pound of DME, and bump the Magnum addition to 60min (or maybe just move .25oz up to 60min) and reduce the 5min cascade...

    Session pale ale hop addition

    Hi Everyone, I am returning to brewing after about 13 years. I was brewing all grain batches back then, but have now eased into extract/PM and now have a Kolsch and a Milk Stout in bottles. Tomorrow I am brewing a very low gravity, session, pale ale using the following recipe: 1.5 lb...

    A little too sweet

    Did you sample it after you added the bottling sugar?
  15. S

    34 days and still bubbling.

    I know this is my first post here (and I will always have more questions than answers), but the timing of the sugar addition(s) (mentioned previously by NordeastBrewer77) really could be the problem... One of the Beersmith Home Brewing podcasts discussed this - I just found them and have been...
