So I had quite an interesting brew day the other day. It's one of those days where everything just isn't going to plan. I got a late start, had issues with my grain mill, then my drill battery for running the grain mill died, then my pump was locked up and wouldn't pump, then I realized I was...

So, I just kegged a brew that I'm entering into a private homebrew competition. My first competition ever! I decided to attach the CO2 and shake to get some carbonation going quick since I want to taste in a day or two to know if it's worthy enough to enter, but I forgot to purge the keg's...

Hey all, I brewed a Russian Imperial Stout in November. I used a couple of recipes that had good ratings as guidelines in formulating my own recipe. It started with a gravity of 1.098 and finished with a gravity of around 1.036 (unfortunately, I didn't write the number down like I thought I...

So, I brewed a Russian Imperial Stout on November 21st, 2015 that has been sitting in the secondary for 5-6 weeks. I've been kegging this past year, but this one I plan to bottle since this batch will get drank pretty slow. My question is about the yeast. Do you think the yeast at the bottom...

Hey all! I'm planning to buy a bunch of equipment upgrades within the next few days to begin my switch from extract brewing to all grain brewing. My upgrades will include two 10 gallon coolers for a MLT/HLT, a MegaPot 1.2 as a kettle, a basic sparge arm, copper coil wort chiller, a barley...

Howdy all! I'm starting on my first "big beer" this weekend. I want to boil tomorrow evening and I'm going to start a yeast starter in about an hour. I'm doing an IPA hoping for about 10%. I'm using an ingredient kit with extra LME to boost the ABV. I have a 1 gallon jug that I want to...

Hello everyone... I'm fairly new to brewing my own beer and I've got a batch of beer that I started almost four weeks ago now. It's taken some time to ferment and I'm going to check the gravity again tonight to see if I'm ready to bottle. It started at 1.070 and last read (on Sunday) at...
