Has anyone done this? Can u share your experience? Tasting notes and amount of berries?

I've noticed that some people have huge krausen in their starter flask. I very rarely have more than an inch. Sometimes none. I do notice the color of my wort lighting up, which I assume is because of more yeast population. Is very little krausen normal? I use a stir plate, I follow mrmalty and...

Just wondering if this is possible. I don't see why not, but I don't ever see it mentioned anywhere.

Could I cover my boil pot partially to prevent too much boil off, or will I run into DMS problems?

I just purchased a bigger boil kettle, which means I can no longer brew stove top. I need to purchase a burner. I am confused by all the different reviews of the burners. Is the Blichman really worth the money? What if I don't want to spend that much, which one would you suggest? I have a...

Sorry, I originally posted this in the wrong category. My goal is a beer that has lots of Chocolate and Caramel notes- a nice full mouth feel, fruity flavors of dried Guajillo and Ancho peppers and just a hint of warmth from the dried Chipotles. Please look at my recipe. Any suggestions would...

my goal is a beer that has lots of Chocolate and Caramel notes- a nice full mouth feel, fruity flavors of dried Guajillo and Ancho peppers and just a hint of warmth from the dried Chipotles. Please look at my recipe. Any suggestions would be appreciated. For a 5.25 Gallon batch with 68 %...

I'd like to brew a Coco mole beer similar to the NewBelgium lips of faith. I will be using dried Chili Peppers. I need some ideas on how to add them in a controlled manner so that I don't end up with a smoking hot beer. Any advice would be appreciated.

Has anyone here subscribed to the "Brew Beer And Drink It" site? Also known as "Better Home Brew Formula Teaching Series." If so, is it worth it? Did you learn anything from it?

I switched burners and ended up with a higher evaporation rate than what I normally have. I lost 2 quarts more during my 90 minute boil. Of course this changed my expected OG, in addition to freaking me out because now my hops would be out of balance. I added 2 quarts of boiling water...

My last couple of brews have been slow to ferment out. I keep them in a fermenter, and I am a nazi at temp control. Both of my last brews slowed down significantly until I finally ended up raising the temp on them. I am thinking that perhaps I am not aerating my higher gravity beers enough...

Should I dry hop before or after cold crash?

I'm trying to clone a karameliet tripple. 5 gallons. It calls for 1.5 lbs of malted oats. Can't find malted oats. Should I use flakes oats? Roast them a bit? I also read that flaked barley is a good substitute. My recipe already has 1.5 lbs of flaked barley. Would I end up with too much?

The recipe has quite a bit of wheat, so I would like to do a protein rest. If I do that, how long and at what temp should I do the sacharific rest?

I am adding 4 lbs of Raspberries to my American Wheat. How long should I leave it in secondary?

I'm getting ready to add 4 lbs of fruit to my secondary. I brewed an American Wheat. Let's say my FG on the wheat is currently 1.010. I have a Five gallon batch. How will adding 4lbs of fruit effect the gravity? There's got to be a formula. Eventually I would like to add sugars to my secondary...

Can anyone help me with this? Needs to be AG. Thanks :-D

I'm pretty happy with the grain bill I've put together. Not so sure about the hop and hop schedule. I've heard they use only Simcoe, and then I've heard they also use Warrior. Can anybody help me?

I have a 1 quart jar filled with Wort from today's brew. How do I can it? Does it need to be covered with water, or does steam suffice, and how long should it be cooking? I also need some math help. If I have 1 qt, and the specific gravity is 1.052, how much water will I need to add to achieve...
