I have never had this happen before. Attached is a pic. What do you guys think?

This is an extremely hoppy imperial ipa. I got this from a local brewery here for one of their beers. Pm me for brewery and name of beer. Will you guys help formulate a recipe? 9.5 abv Mash at 150 4#/BBL hops think hoppy not bitter (Simcoe,centenial.cascade) keep specialty malts simple and to...

Found out during BIAB my nylon paint strainer bag burned to the bottom. I strained and transferred wort, cleaned all the burned off the kettle and then strained and transfer bag. Is this wort lost? I tasted it and it was really sweet and did not taste off or burned.

Tomorrow I am going to brew my first all grain using the BIAB method. I have an 8.5 gallon kettle and 20 lbs of grains total. I am curious how I would calculate water displacement? I think I can mash with 6 gallons of water and still have 2.5 gallons of volume available for water...

I brewed a Grapefuit Imperial IPA last Wednesday the 9th and as the title states OG was 1.090. Beginning Saturday (day 3) I noticed no airlock activity and krausen began to sink. I took a gravity today and yesterday. The gravity is currently sitting at 1.012! How is this possible? I have never...

Last beer I brewed was an imperial IPA. I used only one package of wyeast 1056. I forget the original gravity, however it was above 1.060. Fermentation was quick and aggressive with very high level of krausen. I ended up with a beer that was about 6.7 abv, which in my opinion that's low for an...

Brewed a pliny a bit over a month ago and primed/bottled this past saturday. Bottles have been carbing for a week and they are very lightly carbed but nowhere near finished. All my other brews carbed within a week. As far as the priming surgery goes I used a bit less that 4oz because I ended up...

My cider is currently sitting at 1.010. I am going to bottle this week and I want to carb them. The cider taste a bit tart, so I am going to add a can of apple rasberry concentrate. If I am going to back sweeten is the sugars in the concentrate enought to carb or do I also need to add priming...

I brewed an IPA and bottles about a month ago. I left it carbing in the closet longer than normal. Within the 2nd week of carbing I had a bottle and there was little to none. The beer is delicious and I'd like to serve it at a party but how can I filter this? There is really no way to pour this...

This is prob my fav beer this summer and want to brew it. Thanks

Looking for a good I-IPA with a strong "fresh" hop backbone with a real abrupt dry finish. What do you guys suggest?

Out of curiosity I took a gravity reading. Currently its sitting at about 1.060. I think when all is said and done it will be about 1.043. The color is really nice and has a great hop notes but mouth feel at first feels thin and taste a little watered down. I got a new carboy which is 6.5...

I made 5 gallons of cider, used ale yeast, yeast nutrients and its fermenting furiously. Actually, so much so I had a krausen explosion this morning, I since have placed a blow out. I have been reading that sometimes cider can ferment dry, so once I get it to an ABV and/or taste I prefer how...

I have a couple of friends visiting me and I would like to get them just 2 pairs of pub glasses with their business logo etched. However, I can only find vendors that etch and sell glassware in cases or more. Does anyone know where I can order just 2 of 4 etched glasses? Thanks.

1. The very first thing I am noticing is that I am not getting as much beer as I would like to. Thus far I have brewed 2 IPA's, a wheat (that I accidentally dry hopped) and this weekend I will be brewing a Red Rye. Whats the best way to get closest to 5 gallons? Should I steep grains in 6.5...
