I've been trying to work on a millet mash schedule following the multi-step approach outlined in other threads. The extraction rate has been right in line with Barley at about 36 point. Unfortunately, the attenuation has been horrible. I decided to devote today to a test batch and take...

A friend recently asked me to brew up some gluten free beer for her. I'm an AG brewer and have some experience doing decoction and step mashes (which based on the mash schedules reported here seems like what is necessary). She requested a dark beer. So, I was thinking something along the...

With summer approaching, I'm putting together something along the lines of a Belgian Blonde and could use some feedback. I'm shooting for something with citrus presence, but still pretty balanced. Base recipe OG - about 1.065 (trying to keep ABV 7% or below) 75% Belgian Pils 15% Vienna...

I'm sitting here drinking a sparklingly clear home brewed IPA. So what's wrong? It's taken 4 weeks at fridge temp to get there and I drank most of the keg before it got to this point! It was respectably after a cold crash, but its just taking too long to get to commercial level clarity...

Up until yesterday, I never had a truly stuck sparge with batch sparging. If it got stuck, I'd just stir and add a little hot water and it would clear. If it got really stuck, I would try the blow back methods and that would fix it. But, nope. Not yesterday. I ordered my grains crushed...

Anybody have any good malt bills for an IPA that don't involve any crystal? Just looking for something a little different but that will still result in a nice, dry IPA.

Anybody have any good tips for shortening up my brewday? Here is my current situation. I'm limited to brewing on weeknights only. ie weekends booked with other commitments for foreseeable future. I get home about 5pm, but I've got a 3 yr old in tow that needs dinner etc. My wife gets...

I've got a bit of a problem. I brewed an IPA and left it in the primary for 3 weeks including a week of dry hopping. I used a bucket with a spigot as the primary. I used 4oz corn sugar (boiled in 2 cups water and cooled) as the primer and added it to the bottling bucket before transferring...
