Greetings fellow homebrewers. Today I'm done working for the year and I finished brewing for the year last week. As I sit here sipping a homebrew, I'm reflecting on a pretty good year in terms of brewing. I met an unofficial goal to brew once a month, brewing my 12th batch earlier this month...

Last January I got a kegerator, and after a year of experience, some good, some bad, I wanted to post some lessons learned for the potential keggers out there. For background, I've got a 2 tap (dual Perlicks) kegerator that has room for 3 kegs. I'm not going to recap the many articles about...

Hey brewers, get out those brew logs! If you've brewed using oak chips before (no barrel aging, please), please take the survey below. Here's a little background. Here on the forum, plenty of people have posted their opinion on how to oak a beer, including how much oak, how long, what...

I wanted to give this traditional American style a try, and it came out really well. Simple and smooth, the White Labs yeast did a great job. This was definitely popular with BMC drinkers, but interesting enough for me and my craft brew friends. Going to make a bigger batch in the spring to...

I was looking to brew an extract Oktoberfest, but I don't have lagering equipment. I developed the following recipe to brew a Oktoberfest-style ale using Wyeast 1007. Tasted it over the weekend and it got great reviews, so I figured it was worth posting here. Didn't have the clarity of a true...

Hello everyone, my first post and I'm looking for some advice. I brewed a Belgian dubbel using Wyest 1214 about 6 weeks ago. I chose this yeast specifically due to its tolerance of temps up to 78 deg F. I left for vacation 2 weeks ago and set the thermostat on 78 deg while I was away...
