This is the strongest AG beer I've made to date, and my first strong scotch ale. All the rest of my beers (mostly 1.060 IPAs and 1.050 Ales) have finished at 1.010 or close. Tasting this one on day 12 (1.020 FG) has it really sweeter than I think beer should taste out of the primary...

I have a buddy who lives in Christiansand, Norway. Are there any homebrew supply places he could buy supplies from? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I'm happy to celebrate my third anniversary of brewing! I started out as a DME brewer 15 years ago, and don't remember using hops with the canned kits I was using. I quit that after a few batches of skunk. Then in 2011, I decided to fire up the kettle again, brewing LME with speciality grains...

Made my first lager, and I don't want to end up with flat beer. I'd like a couple more opinions on this Bitburger Pilsner recipe calls for: I'm now at 21 days in primary @50F and 4 days at 60F for D-rest. I bottle (no kegs quite yet). I use dextrose in the bottles to carbonate. I read...

First time grower here. I've got four vines (bines?) of centennial growing to the eaves of a rancher (1.5 stories). First year plants growing on three strings (2 are doubled up). How many oz might I expect off this? I'm planning to brew them immediately, but if the harvest ends up way...

So, my first AG just went into the primary. I've done 36 successful 5 Gal extract brews. The wort is 1.062 OG, but even though I started with 6 Gal wort, I'm left with 4 Gal in the primary. Target was 1.060 OG, 1.020 FG (although all my extracts were ending at 1.010 FG) Extract brews I...

I'm making a grapefruit ale recipe. The last one I made was pretty good, but I just had a Whistler Grapefruit, which has grapefruit and coriander. Would I use grapefruit rinds ground up, juice, or pulp to "dryhop" the secondary fermenter?

So, I made a wort chiller from free stainless 1/2" tube. Is it an issue that I can't cover the pot while cooling? My first batch cooled nice and quick, in 15 minutes, but I'm not able to put the pot lid on due to the design. Redesign time, or no problem??

Looking at buying hops online, likely from a US site. Are there any issues having it mailed over the border, or bringing it across?? Planning a group buy with some friends. Are there customs limits? Recommendations on where to buy? Shipping to Vancouver, BC.

I decided to donate my 9th extract brew to a friends wedding this Saturday. She loved my first batch of Traditional Ale. Hopefully it was not a bad call... Traditional Ale made a 2 litre starter with 1968 3 days before. 70F pitch temp 7.25 lbs pale LME + 13 oz late addition at 15 min 4 oz...

So, I have 2 batches bought, and need to decide which to make first. IPA OG 1.065, 10 lbs LME and 2.5 oz boiling/finishing hops Boddingtons OG 1.045 7.25 lbs LME, 1 lb grains steeping and 2 oz boiling/finishing hops. Using 1968 ESB yeast for both, washed from previous batches. I've...

I made this IIPA as my second extract brew, and it's the only one of my eight batches I have to choke down. It's very "boozy" tasting, and gives a pretty good headache if you have too many. It's pretty good as a 4th or 5th beer on a Saturday night (when you're not getting out of bed before...

http://www.tastybrew.com/calculators/priming.html I hate to doubt the internet, but in looking up priming sugar for a Bitter, it's telling me to go with less than 1 oz of priming dextrose in my bottles. 1.025 volumes CO2 = 0.4 oz dextrose (the recommended nominal) I realize the english style...

Hi all, I've been lurking around here since I started brewing in December, and I'm on my 6th batch now, brewing partial boils with extract, fresh hops and grains. My first Hefeweizen is now in the secondary, and I need to decide if I should wait the full 2 weeks (1-2-3 has been my mantra)...
