Long story short I had to be out of town for one week for work and dry hopped my NEIPA last Friday so now my beer has been sitting on hops for 10 days. My goal was to keg yesterday when I realized my CO2 tank was empty. When I went to fill it this morning they told me the tank needs to be...

Does anyone know of a close recipe for Lizard King from Pipeworks? I cannot get it where I live and want to make something fairly close. I brewed the Row 2 Hill 56 clone on here and it had a similar profile so I could just change the hops to Mosaic and get something close but I figured I could...

Taking a roady for work this weekend to State College and see they have a few decent bottle shops. Does anyone have any recommendation of good beer available there I might not be able to find in NYS?

Was bottles less than 2 weeks ago. Let me know if you want to trade any fresh Heady or make an offer with anything I cannot get in Western New York. Also looking for Tree House, Sip, Farmstead, or Trillium. I prefer APA & IPA Thanks,

FIrst off happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there. I was lucky enough to get a case of this stuff today for fathers day and can tell you it was absolutely delicious. I was skeptical to see what it was rated and was surprised to find its world-class ratings. I was also very surprised...

My local brewery has the new brew on tap with the ingredients listed on the menu. I dont think they would be willing to give up the recipe but with knowing the ingredients is it possible to guesstimate the amount of which to make a similar brew. Here is what was listed on the menu: -Carmel 60...

Been away from Brewing for exactly 9 months. Sad I know but work is insane all Winter and I coach hockey. None the less yesterday I brewed a kit I had purchased online 10 months ago. I stored the grains/LME in a cool/dry place. My basement. Yeast and hops were in the fridge. Anyways brew...

So last fall on my birthday I took $100 and bought a nice start up homebrew setup and my first extract kit and started what I though would be a hobby that i did 2-3x per year at best. I am now in my 10th month of brewing and have already made 9 batches with #10 fermenting. Although I am still...

I kegged a batch last night and went to hook up CO2 but accidently forgot to open the valve. This morning I realized my mistake and opened the valve. I purged the air a few times and jacked the pressure up to 28psi. My question is what affect if any did the 15-20 hours of sitting in the keg with...

I have a Two Hearted clone which has now been dry hopping for 3 days. I am going on a road trip Friday and want to have it kegged by then. My questions are: 1. Is there any reason to cold crash this beer? Wouldn't it be cloudy anyways? If I do cold crash how and when do I do this while dry...

Looking to order a Pumpkin Ale kit today (Extract) and I have 4 options. Looking for feedback on these kits from anyone who has made one or more of these. 1. MoreBeer Thanksgiving Ale 2. AHS Pumpkin Ale 3. Midwest Pumpkin Ale 4. NB Smashing Pumpkin Ale AHS has free shipping on kits and...

I did a little searching and couldn't find any reviews on here about this kit. Has anyone ever tried this one? If so thoughts, comments, which yeast to use? Just trying to line up my next few brews and will be starting a simple pumpkin soon. I noticed NB has a "Smashing Pumpkin", and MW...

So this Summer I decided to make a few "Summer" beers and try to get my wife and father-in-law to drink my homebrew. They both are Corona/Ultra/Shock Top kind of drinkers. Long story short I made a Strawberry Blonde and a Sam Summer Ale Clone and they both liked the beer but never really drank...

Guys, please let me know what you think is a better option. I am getting married early July and want to have 2 homebrews available on draft. (Side note this is my 1st time kegging) I have a Boston Ale that has fermented 2 weeks now and has had the same FG for a while now. I am brewing a...

I brewed an Irish Red. Followed brewing & sanitation instructions to a T. After 13 days in primary it tasted awesome, like ready to drink awesome, and I racked to secondary to free up primary. When I went to bottle 10 days later the beer tasted much worse than it did out of the primary. It...

I found out last night that you should not mix hydrometer samples with Christmas ale and winter lager and gin and Jim beam and redbull and Jameson and sprite. I think it was the sprite but this combination is very bad. Happy new years!

I have leaned on the experts here every step of the way. My beer sat in primary 15 days with same gravity last few days when I checked. I moved to secondary so I could make another batch. It has been in secondary a week now total of 22 days since brew. Can I. Should I bottle this weekend or is...

So my 1st brew is 2 weeks in the primary and it was a "Irish Red kit" and everything looks good so far. I have been planning my 2nd brew for about 10 days now and here is what I have come up with. Thoughts, comments, answers appreciated. I bought ingredients from my LHBS to make a close to...

Almost 72 hours into fermentation of my virgin batch (Irish Red) and the smell is amazing, Im glad my setup is tucked away in the basement behind the man-cave because if anyone saw me smelling buckets 47 times a day they would think I were crazy. My question is should/will the beer taste...

So for my first brew ever I followed directions from this site to a T and was very sanitary and everything seemed to go great. 12 hours later I had a nice and bubbly airlock and now 36 hours later the airlock is very very bubbly (which I take is a good thing) My question is my my amateur...
