I just read an article from Gizmodo about some scientists who tried to create a beer that rehydrates rather than dehydrates. They simply added electrolytes. As a distance runner and homebrewer, I think this would be an awesome thing to try. You can get all sorts of flavorless electrolyte...

I just got my score sheet from my first competition: 30.7 Here's the link for the score sheet and here's the recipe. I'd appreciate suggestions. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B37i8dKqT0Zwem9TaUwtWktfVW8/edit?usp=sharing Specialty Beer 23- Black IPA following the American IPA style 14B 3...

First, I'd like to publicly thank a local Chicago brewery. Atlas Brewery (2747 N. Lincoln Ave, Chicago IL- for those of you in Chicago) had extra Hallertau pellet hops from a brew they made recently, and they gave them away to local homebrewers. I love to see the pro's supporting us amateurs...

So I have a friend who ages his own small batches of whiskey. Since he wants to make them in the bourbon tradition, he uses them once and then can't use them again. Good deal for me. So per advice from this forum, I made a stout for my first attempt with these barrels. Because these barrels...

Happy Saturday! I am planning on making the Imperial Stout recipe from Jamil's Brewing Classic Styles. I'm cheap, and want to make this recipe as cheap as possible. DME is really expensive compared to buying the grain. I don't have the equipment to do a full on BIAB mash for such a big beer...

I have a friend who has started aging his own bourbon style whiskey in very small batches. Luckily for me, because of the way bourbon is made, he can't use a barrel twice. So, he's looking for people (me) to use up his old barrels. The first barrel that will be ready is a 1 liter barrel...

I have been brewing since Christmas 2011, when my loving and wonderful SWMBO bought me a kit to get started. You know how the story goes. I quickly became obsessed, started building DIY equipment, etc...etc... I am starting to get interested in formulating my own recipes, but don't know...

Hi. I'm from Chicago, IL and I just recently started home brewing over Christmas. It's been a great time, but a challenge trying to figure out how to brew in a small apartment. Thanks to everyone who's helped me with information about brewing on this site.

Happy Easter! This is my first post on the forum, and I'd like to thank everyone who contributes. I've learned a lot from all of you, so I figured I could share what I built with the few people who would understand how excited I am about this. So I've been home brewing since about Christmas...
