Last night, before going to bed I was doing research on a new recipe for a Wheat beer. I have my hops set up, but have been seeing different specialty grains tossed into recipes, so this is what I was specifically looking at. I probably woke up 4-5 times during the night, constantly dreaming...

So I have a hef, only 4 abv. I put 20 or 30 psi, I can't remember for 24 hrs after transferring to my keg. Then I turned it down to 12 psi. I checked yesterday and today, I see bubbles along the walls of my glass when I pour it, but no real bubbles floating up the middle of the glass. I turned...

Hey brewmasters! I finally got ahold of some Simcoe and Amarillo hops and am really excited to try them out tomorrow as late additions. Here is my hop schedule and was hoping you could give me some feedback. Thanks in advance! 1 oz 14% AA Magnum 60 min 1.5 oz 10.6% AA Amarillo 10 min 1.5 oz 13%...

Why does this happen when I use my siphon to bottle? I get a large space of air in my hose and its siphoning veeerrrryyy slowly. I pump but it just pushes more air and bubble through. Here are pictures to show you.

Beer Lands looks pretty good this year, any idea on how much a beer costs? Anyone else going?

I've always wanted to try out Citra hops. Recently I bought the last two oz of citra whole hops. My question to everyone, if making an IPA or a PA, what amount and increments should I use these two oz. I was thinking: 20 min - 1oz 10 min - .5 oz 5 min - .5 oz Along with a little bittering at...

Hey everyone, as I was grabbing my last bomber of some wheat beer I brewed about 2-3 months ago I noticed maybe fungus in the bottle. I'm very disappointed because I was going to bring it to Santa Barbara as an engagement present to my sister and her fiancé. Is this some mold? Do you think...

As at the self check out this morning in the grocery store and noticed something on the sale rack just next to me. Beautiful SN torpedo tall boys all marked 50% off. I investigate to see why they're marked down and only see minimal dents. Seems like someone dropped the box and one might have...

I'm thinking 2 oz for about a week for a red ipa. Itd'd be 1 oz CTZ and 1 oz of falconers pellets What about you guys?

Stone just came out with a collaboration beer Texas Brown Ale, if anyone tries it let me know how it is! I'm a native Texan but now living in San Diego and loving the west coast hops. This is a mix of both southern flavor with some west coast kick. Let me know!

Hey beer gurus! Another beginner question. I bottled my beer last Friday and check the bottles to see if any noticeable carbonation is there yet. When looking at my brews today I notice a light layer of yeast and or sugar on the bottom of my bottle. Just want to see what the pros say it is...

So I did 6 oz of hops in my first batch to make an ipa 2 oz galena 60 min 1 oz cascade 20 min 1 oz simcoe 20 min 1 oz cascade 4 min 1 oz simcoe 4 min I put em in bottles yesterday and it had a very bitter taste. Will this taste die down while carbonating in the bottles? Or have I just made one...

If my fermentation does now show signs of bubbling after 36 hrs and thinking its because the yeast was out for a long time in room temp, what shall I do?

So newb here, what is mashing? What do I do with a mash tun? I'm not planning on doing it but would just like to know

I took my hydrometer reading 2/3 after putting in fermenter. It read 1.005, I either read it wrong or it was very low. Is it okay to open and check again or should I wait the full 2 weeks and do it again before bottling?

That's right! I don't want to spend the extra money for a bottling bucket and all the siphoning gear (im a college student). Instead I am just going to transfer my fermented wort back into my sanitized kettle, then siphon into my bottles from there with only the tube and my mouth. I know a lot...

Hello everyone, I'm new to home brewing and had a good idea of the steps I'm taking to make my batch. But yesterday while at the brew store I took a recipe they had in a recipe binder and it's different than the normal steep, dissolve extract, add hops, cool and add yeast. It says to steep...
