Hello all, My friend would like to get into homebrewing all grain beer. I told him his best bet would be to start with BIAB brewing. The trouble is, he only has an 8 gallon kettle. He would like to brew a recipe that calls for 14.5 lbs of grain in it. If he does this though, there is...

I'm going to try this recipe this weekend as a BIAB. I'm hoping to get about 70% efficiency. .75 oz. Magnum at 60 minutes .25 oz. Magnum at 15 minutes 1 lb. Biscuit 1 lb. Crystal 80 2 lbs. Honey Malt 4 lbs. Vienna 5 lbs. Pale Malt 2 row I'm shooting for a 6 gallon batch and a...

Hello everyone, I know a 1,000 posts have already been started about this subject, but I feel like my question is an easy answer, I just don't have it, and I can't sift through enough of this to find it. I'm going to brew a beer that is 12 lbs. of grain BIAB style. I would calculate how...

Hello everyone, My brew kettle has an output valve near it's bottom, as I'm sure many of yours do as well. Approximately one gallon of liquid is left after I let it drain all the way out without tipping the vessel. My question is how should I factor this into my calculations? For instance...

So I have a blickman bottling gun. If I use it to fill up a growler tonight that is a clamp on lid, will my beer stay carbonated until Saturday night? Which is 4 days away by the way, lol. It will be chilled until then.

Hey everyone, I'm sure that there are lots if posts about this already, but here goes: I have 10 gallons of pale ale that I am going to keg today. I need them to be ready by August 2nd. Is there anything I can do (eg: set a higher pressure on my air tank) to get them to a nice bubbly state in...

Hello everyone, I plan to brew Jamil's recipe for a Scottish Strong Ale which you can find here. I plan to do an all-grain, 10 gallon batch. I was thrown off when I saw that he recommends 4 US-05 yeast packets. Should I just double the grain, hops, and yeast? I'll be fermenting in two...

Hello everyone, I'd like to make an IPA using these hop varieties: Chinook Warrior Citra Cascade And Horizon There's a brewery near where I live called Titletown Brewing Company (come to Green Bay, WI. Watch the Packer game. Drink their beer. You won't regret it.) and they have a beer...

Hello everyone, I'm getting very frustrated with my CO2 and regulator. The past few weeks have been no beer for me because I can't seem to solve this problem. I have a dual regulator hooked up to my CO2. I've had problems with the PSI creeping up to 30 after being set to 10 after only a few...

Hi everyone, I just brewed Northern Brewers Oktoberfest all grain kit, and I'm wondering what I should set my temperature to while in secondary. The yeast packet says that the yeast like 48-59, so for primary I have my temp at 50-54. Should I just leave it here until kegging?

Hello all, I was mashing today and accidentally raised the temperature to >170 degrees with about 40 minutes left. I quickly turned off the heat and began stirring, but it still took about 30 minutes to cool it back down to 152. Have I ruined this beer? And what can I expect in the final product?

Good day to all! I'm lucky enough to live near Door County, WI. For those who don't know, the area is famous for it's cherries. I would like to use some of those cherries in a beer and I was thinking that with the cold weather (hopefully) coming soon a Cherry Baltic Porter would be great. So...

I'm Primary fermenting an American IPA OG 1.064 right now and I plan to dry hop 2 oz of Cascade (One for 7 days, the other for the final 3 days). My question is, should I let my yeast ferment to FG before racking to secondary and dry hopping. Or, should I wait about a week in primary, rack to...
