    Dry hopping with citra leaves. Should I use a nylon bag or not?

    So I have a Citra IPA that has been fermenting for about 9 days. Within the next few days I plan on transferring to secondary so I can dry hop with 2 ounces of citra leaves. This will be my first time dry hopping so I'm still not sure which would be the ideal method to go about doing this. I...

    I have 7 oz. of citra, for a belgian pale ale or IPA

    This is going to be my first brew that won't be from a kit so I need some help with the recipe. I was able to get 7 ounces of citra (5 pellets, 2 leaf). I'm definitely looking to make this nice and hoppy, but I still want the belgian yeast ethers to come through. As far as the ABV goes I don't...

    Looking to make a Belgian Pale Ale with Citra and Mango.

    This idea has been floating in my head for a while now but I'm really not sure where to start. The two beers I've made so far have been from kits and were brewed successfully so I want to start learning how to make my own recipes. Unfortunately, I don't have the capabilities to do all-grain...

    Making a Ginger Hefeweisen.

    So I brewed a hefeweisen 3 weeks ago and it's been fermenting in primary ever since. I decided I want to flavor it with ginger, which I was planning to do by soaking fresh ginger in rum (I don't have vodka) and then sticking in it a weighted hop bag in secondary. The question I have is...

    Need ideas for flavoring my Hefeweisen

    So I'm in primary fermentation with my hefeweisen right now and I know I want to add something to flavor my batch when I rack it into secondary. The problem is, I don't know what to add that would be good. What flavors work well with a hefeweisen? If it helps, my recipe is Midwest Supplies...

    Peel and stick printer sheets for labels?

    Does such a think exist? Basically I want some 8.5"/11" standard size sheets with blank label shaped stickers that you can add your own design to and print out. I know I could just print onto regular sheets of paper (or gloss paper) and cut them out individually and glue them on... but what I...

    Should I add some water to my fermentor?

    Ok, so I searched for an answer to my question and I'm kind of getting mixed answers in various posts so I'm going to explain my specific case. I brewed a Hefeweisen on wednesday and fermentation is currently going strong. My OG was 1.060, but my recipe says it should have been 1.052. When I...

    Bottling first batch tomorrow.

    So after 1 week in primary and 2 weeks in secondary, my beer seems ready to bottle. I will do a gravity reading tomorrow to be sure. I made the Irish Stout kit from Midwest and it came with 5 oz of corn sugar. In the instructions it says to use all of it for priming. However I used Northern...

    Airlock stopped bubbling after 3 days.

    So I brewed my first batch on wednesday, and now on friday night my airlock doesn't appear to be bubbling anymore. This morning when I checked before going to work It was bubbling at about 1 every 20 seconds. Thursday It was bubbling nonstop. Could fermentation be done already? It seems like...

    First brew session paranoia

    So after wanting to get into homebrewing for quite a while I finally brewed my first batch today using the Midwest brewing supply Groupon starter kit. I got the irish stout recipe kit and I followed the instructions very closely. The only difference is I added some baker's chocolate to the wort...
