Hello, I have my graff cooling as I type... I have a vial of liquid yeast from a new commercial yeast producer that has started up in my area. I have not made a starter. The OG (FYI) for Brandon O's Graff is supposed to be 1.050. If this was beer then the liquid yeast would probably...

I brewed an RIS on Sunday and wound up with 2 gallons of 1.040 left over sparge wort and .5 left over 1.090 boiled wort... I combined them in a fermenter and was planning on adding 2lbs of DME, 2lbs of honey, water, hops, etc... Doing a second beer with the extra runnings. Problem is, I...

I am making a RIS with an og of 1.100... I'm using about 20# of grain. If I use the old standard of 1.25 quarts per pound I get 25 quarts which is 6.25 gallons... which would be perfect... except I thought that was supposed to be PER batch sparge? Maybe I could get away with 1 to 1 which would...

Hello, I currently have one tap, from one cylinder with one regulator. I would like to add a second regulator and connect them both to manifolds which will then control my taps. One regulator will be set at carbonating pressure, the other at serving pressure. My question is about what...

Hello, I have been brewing for over half a year now and would like to make a herbal/spiced ginger ale. I've heard of various methods of making these additions... soak in vodka, boil, etc. How do you guys add these ingredients (and when)? Some that I have wondered about: Fruit (orange...

I tried to clone a dogfish 60 in a partial mash and a lot went wrong... can someone help me? This was my second time brewing with my whole setup. I tried a batch sparge for the first time. My wort wound up looking like it does in the picture. Tons of sediment from the mash. I also got a...

Hello, I am going to do a partial mash dogfish 60 clone. My grain bill is about 7.5lbs plus 5lbs of LME. I am aware of the golden 1.25qt to lb rule and I have BS 2.1 but I am a really new brewer and not quite sure about my quantities. BS wants me to do something like 10 gallons of...

Hello, I have been reading up on mashing and it seems that after the mash it's prudent to "mash out" and raise your temp up to about 170 or so to let all the sugars and such flow more easily through the grain bed. My question is: How much will my efficiency suffer by not doing this -- and...

I was going to brew a partial mash 60 min IPA this weekend and I was going to follow this recipe... http://www.brewmasterswarehouse.com/recipe/3e76958a/ but I noticed it calls for 6lbs of 2 row, in addition to the caramel and maris otter malts... and in addition to the 5lbs of LME. Is that...

Hello, My first beer was an AG on a brand new setup and everything went wrong... My second beer I just did in one kettle, the white house honey porter, partial extract. I would like to do a few partial extract beers but use the techniques I will be using for AG brews in order to get practice...

Hello, I have always wondered about this: Why does yeast convert sugar to alcohol at first (until it makes its environment toxic and goes dormant), but if given sugar again (priming sugar), produce Co2 instead. Maybe part 2 of my question is: Is there any way to boost the alcohol content...

Hello, I am making my second beer this weekend. My first beer tasted kind of yeasty, it was also low in potency, and I used a dry yeast to make a starter for that brew. Just wondering if I am going to have too many yeast cells if I pitch 1 package of dry yeast into a liter of sterile...

Hello, I brewed my first batch of beer and kegged it a couple weeks ago and it is now pouring all foam. Let me give you the back story. I had a friends brown ale in a corny hooked up to my kegerator before I kegged my brown ale. I was getting perfect pours every time with his ale. I kicked...

Hello, I pitched my ale yeast at 100 degrees Fahrenheit and there is no bubbling at all in my wort. Should I add another pack and slosh the carboy around? Other question: Do you aerate after pitching the yeast? Thanks

Hello, Brewing tomorrow morning for the first time and wondering what efficiency to program in to beersmith. I have a gravity fed keggle system. My mash tun drains out the bottom, which I gather increases overall efficiency because I am reducing dead space? Does this matter really even...

I have never brewed before and this saturday is going to be my first beer. Beer Smith wants to know my "Mash Tun Specific Heat" in the units of "cal/gram-deg c". It guessed at a number of ".15" for my system (3 stainless kegs) but my system is a little different because... I have an...
