how many days was the coffee in the keg?

Good luck with your system :)

Any updates? My LHBS got some Mandarina Bavaria and Heull Melon and I would really like to clone Easy Jack...

Hi, I've brewed this recipe: http://www.homebrewersassociation.org/homebrew-recipe/peanut-butter-jelly-time/ The beer came out good and the peanut butter is in the aroma and in the taste. Unfortunately the taste is a bit alcoholic and I suspect that it's because of the use of natural proof...

Hi, thanks for the comment. I have put the strawberries, berries and palm juice in a different carboy from the rest of the cider so the campden tablet will sanitize the blend, then on the same carboy the airlock started to bubble

Hi, I've been fermenting a cider from concentrated juice for the last month, yesterday I bought some fresh strawberries and cleaned it and blend it with a mix of frozen berries and plum juice. Then I have transferred the blend to a 2 gallon carboy and added a 1/2 crushed campden tablet and gave...

How did you treat the bananas? I want to make this recipe but I'm afraid of infection from the bananas

2 months ago I've been brewing a dark belgian strong ale using WLP500, then I have fermented it in primary for 1 month and then transferred it to secondary for another month, when the secondary will end I want to bottle, should I add more yeast at bottling? Or is it not necessary and just will...

another question: why not add the hibiscus to the boil?

Should I add some acid malt if I want it to be a bit tart? or the hibiscus makes it tart enough?

Thanks for the reply, I based my recipe on a past saison that I've brewed with lemongrass, coriander, peppercorn, and orange zest. That recipe was a great success among the tasters so I wanted to make something similar but to add the hibiscus for color and more sour taste. Also I read about...

Hi, I've designed a recipe for a saison with hibiscus and a lot of other spices, I would like to get your comments on it before I will brew it. I want to brew this for a local competition so it should also fit the BJCP style guide: Recipe: Hibiscus Saison Brewer: Asst Brewer: Style...

Thanks for sharing the recipe, I was going to brew a similar recipe that I've came up with but instead of Nelson I was thinking of using Citra and Cascade (can't get nelson here) also I was thinking to add some spices (lemongrass, coriander, peppercorn, grains of paradise, chamomile) do you...

I've brewed this beer last week but now I've realized that when it will be over with secondary fermentation I'll be back in school so I won't be able to bottle it. Do you think I can bottle it only after 2 weeks in primary and 1 week in secondary? or should I do 1 week primary and 2 secondary...

Hi, I'm trying to make my own stir plate using computer fan (from the power supply) and a transformer to 6V and a speed regulator I just got online. I don't understand how to wire the speed regulator. Here are some pictures I took: http://imgur.com/a/jCsiy Does anybody knows how should I...

Brewed this beer 2 weeks ago then racked over the watermelon juice. Today I took a gravity reading to see if I can bottle it and it was way too low = 1.004, also I tried a sample and it was very tart. Is my beer ruined? It didn't look like it was infected with bacteria but maybe some wild yeast...

My LHBS has only German Perle hops, should I use it anyway or should I sub it with some other american hop variety (which I actually prefer so I could say it's an APA)?

is this beer gonna be balanced or more on the hoppy side?

shouldn't the wort be boiled for 90 minutes because that it has pilsner malt in the mash? or because it's a saison the DMS is desirable?

Hi, I've been to Belgium with a friend that fell in love with Hoegaarden Julius and she wants me to clone it for her. Unfortunately I can't find anything about this beer except that it is 8.7% ABV. Can someone give more info I can start working with for designing the recipe? Thanks!
