Long story short, the owner of the local homebrew supply store asked me to make this asap for a party in 11 days. It is supposed to ferment for a minimum of 6 days if I keep the temp close to 80*F. Even then, if I bottle it, it will be only be carbing up for 5 days, so I'm not expecting...

First kolsch, nowhere near my first ag brew :D I'm ready to bottle and it's been sitting for weeks in 2ndary at 40-41*F. Do I bottle as usual (my all ale batches ferment in the mid 60's to 70*F)? My usual protocol is to boil my cup of water/5oz priming sugar, cool down to beer temp, stir...

I put 3 packs in the fridge, the other 10 in the freezer yesterday. Anyone have an all grain recipe that calls for a lot of Amarillo hops? Thanks in advance. jestmaty

Had a bit of a brain-fart yesterday ( translation= I was too buzzed from drinking homebrew WHILE I bottled ) and came up short on this quart bottle. I've been bottling in quarts for over a year and a half and they always turn out great. My usual routine is to go with 12-14 quart bottles, 5-6...

Bottling question... I usually bottle condition my beers for about 3 weeks before I even think about drinking them. Am I just being stupid by gently turning each bottle upside down for a little swirl about halfway into their 3 week wait? In other words, I usually only bottle about 24...

I posted this in my local facebook homebrewer's group, so, apologies if you've already had to endure my question.... Hey folks.. a question about Starting/Original gravities.. My ag recipe told me to 1: not sparge off more than 6.25 gallons pre boil and 2: that the anticipated OG...

Well, actually a better bottle. I've been homebrewing for over a year, all grain for about 11 months of that. Always used an ale pail for primary. The only 'tactile' experience was getting to watch the airlock bubble away furiously for a few days, then nuttin' This past sunday, I brewed a...

Last couple of brews have finished super low gravity. Back on Friday June 1st, my wife and I did a Brewer's Best Australian IPA mini-mash... it turned out GREAT! Hard to mess up an extract kit. Then, on Father's Day June 17th, I did my usual midwest supplies' Hank's Hefeweizen. Been making...

But, I'm stumped as to exactly what it is (efficiency) and why so many find it so important. Forgive the newbness :o For what it's worth, I just brewed my 4th solo all grain today ( been all-grain brewing under the mentorship if my neighbor since August, just started brewing on-my-own since...

Never saw one airlock bubble. Silent fermentation? No fermentation? When racking, after 1 week in primary, it smelled good(ish), had a nice trub at the bottom of my bucket, good amount of krausen along the sides of my bucket all the way to the underside of the lid. I pitched Danstar Munich...

in the bottle. Brewed a wheat ale on Good Friday, moved to bottles this past Friday, April 20th. I'm using a 5 cubic foot freezer as a fermentation chamber via a Johnson Controls thermostat. My fermentation temp for 2 weeks was 60*F. After bottling a couple of days ago, I put the bottles...

That hobby didn't do ANYTHING for me. Newb(ish) all grain brewer from Katy, Texas checking in. So, the story goes like this. My neighbor, whom I've lived next door to for about 5 years, is my all grain brewing buddy. He (Henry) tried to introduce me to r/c airlplanes a couple of...
