I recently moved my stout from it's primary to the secondary and popped in 3 vanilla beans. How long should I let it sit before I keg it? I was guessing about a week. I'm looking for a good character of vanilla but not overwhelming. Thanks -Kian

I had some friends ask me to make them a Mango Cider, and after looking through the recipes section I think I have a pretty good idea of what I want to do. 4 Gallons of Apple Juice 1 Gallon Mango Juice 2 Cups of Honey Add Mangoes to the secondary What I've been trying to figure out is...

I searched the forums but couldn't find any answer that I wanted exactly. I'm brewing a Hoegaarden style on Saturday and I'm not planning on using a secondary. As of right now I only have one carboy that's currently full. Should I invest in a second carboy or just use my bucket for the...

I'm pitching a Hoegaarden clone on Saturday and I realized I tossed 4 oz too much of flaked oat in my grain bag out of a 20 oz partial mash recipe boosting the total grains I have to 24 oz. I don't know enough about the whole process to know what kind of effects this is going to have on the...

I did my first all grain last Wednesday (7.7.7 IPA) and just transferred from primary to secondary. I tasted it and it wasn't quite where I wanted it, and I noticed that it was really short as far as volume goes. I happened to have some purified water on hand and figured that adding it would...

Anyone in Santa Barbara know of a good LHBS? the most local it gets that I have found have been at least a half hour away, and I don't like that... :mad: Cheers -K:tank:

So I just got a shipment from Hoptech and I had one concern. the Wyeast I got was surrounded by cool packs but when it arrived they were all kinda warm, it's in the fridge now and isn't doing anything but chill, just wanted to make sure that it was still pitchable (quell my fears even though I'm...

Has anyone had any experience with adding coffee to a secondary? I'm making a stout and would like some coffee flavor, so here's my plan: cold brew 1L of coffee w. boiled & cooled water for about 3-7 days and just adding that L of liquid (wo the grouds) when I move to the secondary. Thoughts or...

I cracked a couple of my first batch with some of my friends yesterday, and holy mother of God it was actually good! One of my friends, whose opinion I trust, said that it was in his top 5 favorite beers (now if he was trying to butter me up to get more hb or not is debatable). I've already...

I got bored at work so I decided to compile all of the extract/partial mash recipes in the data base onto on thread. I didn't find anything like this on here, so if this is a repeat I'm sorry. English Brown Ale 12. Porter smoked porter Pilsung Porter Black as Kim's Soul Porter Big...

I don't want to rehash history or anything, but after reading the thread that started the EAC acronym I got a bit frightened as to the content of the recipe for my next brew. I found the Respect Imperial Stout recipe in the database and it calls for one pound of cane sugar. Is there something...

Okay, so here is my dilemma. Right now I'm brewing an amber ale, about ready to bottle, and next up is a stout. I'm figuring that I could get one or two more before the new year. My main question is what should I plan to brew for new years. I mean I know I have the whole world at my finger tips...

Hi, my name's Kian, I'm a new graduate (from college) and I needed a hobby that could take the place of all the studying I just underwent, hence homebrewing. I pitched my first batch last night, everything went well as far as cleanliness and the like but... When I woke up this morning it was a...
