We just recently harvested a few pounds of Cascade and I am looking for a recipe to highlight these hops. I usually put together my own recipes but I really want to get this recipe right. I only have a few criteria: 1) Probably looking to bitter with pellet hops due to limited kettle space...

I would imagine this comes up often, but I was hoping for some direction on where to begin. Living in the Northeast the idea of being able to brew in doors during the winter months seems like a good prospect, but after reading some stuff on electric brewing I am a little lost. What I would...

Thanks for all the helpful replies! The infection concern was a minor one, I have yet to see an infected batch no matter how careful/careless I have been but this is my first time with a carboy so I wasn't sure how that factored in. As far as how it cracked, I assume it was at some point in...

I will definitely be trashing it after this, but I don't want to give up on this brew just yet. I put it in a large plastic tote, so if it does break it should spare my floor, hopefully lol.

I am fairly sure it's a crack as it seems to have some depth to it. That's kind of what I was thinking. I think after this I will be switching to plastic, at least for primary. Currently I do my actually brewing somewhere else, at my parent's house, and take the fermenter back to my...

The carboy is brand new so I am not sure how it go there, but after inspecting my carboy on day 2 of fermentation I noticed a small vertical crack (about 2 inches) connected to a smaller horizontal crack (about 1/2 inch) along the bottom third of the carboy. As best I can tell it doesn't appear...

I brewed a hoppy wheat beer 3 weeks ago today. I had planned on bottling it today but it doesn't look like I will get to it until next Saturday. I wouldn't think I would have any issues bottling it 4 weeks in, but thought I would ask those who have had similar experiences.

I did this same recipe just over a week ago. Only thing I might suggest is adding some Lactose and Victory malt. So far with that recipe and my additions it seems almost spot on to pumpking.

I plan on doing a couple small 2.5gal BIAB batches in the coming week. The recipe I am working with calls for 0.5oz or so of hops, which will leave me with 0.5oz left over if I buy the 1oz bags. What would be the best method of storing the remaining pellet hops for 2 to 4 weeks?

I did some quick google searches and didn't turn up anything, so I thought I would ask here. We have started growing our own hops this year and I was hoping to use them in a brew this fall. I thought it would be fun to use only hops we had grown, assuming we collect enough to make that...
