I always hit my OG. Sometimes even higher. Yesterday, I brewed my first pale ale with 24 lbs of grain. It was a 10 gallon batch and the OG was supposed to be 1.066 but mine was only 1.045. Does anyone know what could have caused this ? I'm hoping the recipe is off wishful thinking

Please offer suggestions on what to brew this weekend. I generally like Scottish ales and brown ales. I'm thinking maybe a pale ale but I don't care for the ones that are too hoppy. I like Sierra Nevada pale ale and yazoo pale ale. I've just recently began drinking that style.

I have a refrigerator that is dedicated to beer. Has anyone chilled their wort by putting it in a fridge? If so, was it effective?

I made a brown ale twelve days ago, and I used a starter that a friend gave me. Now it looks like this and has a strange taste. Any suggestions or answers?

I brewed a batch of brown ale on Saturday. I made a starter from the wort. I didn't pitch the yeast until two days later. Was my wort ok to sit at room temp inside a fermenter for two days

I know this has been covered a lot but I'm still having trouble understanding until I actually do it. Two weeks ago I kegged a brown ale. I took the leftovers from my fermenter and added water. I gave it a swirl, put it in a sanitized jar, covered it, and put it in the fridge. I would like to...

Can anyone give me some instruction? I have some yeast that was given to me in a jar along with some frozen wort. I'm planning on brewing tonight and need some detailed instructions on what to do with the yeast to keep from having to buy any.

Has anyone used an angle grinder to cut the top out of a keg to make a brew pot? If so, were you able to cut a fairly perfect circle?

This is my recipe for a brown ale. It has turned out great. I was curious to see how using basic two row would change the flavor or color. Any help would be appreciated. 9 lbs. - Maris Otter - 2 Row malt 2 oz. - Chocolate malt 2 oz. - Crystal malt (60L) 1.5 oz. - Black Patent malt Hop...

Can anyone riddle me this? I'm looking at some grain to buy in bulk. I'm also seeing posts where people are getting their base malts for 70 cents per lb. most if my recipes call for Maris otter. The prices im finding for it is $1.89 per lb. Do most people substitute Something else for MO?

I've had a breakfast stout in primary for 3 weeks. I don't secondary. I do usually cold crash before kegging. I failed to put my primary in the fridge til now. I'd like to force keg it and pour one today to see how it turned out. My question is is it necessary to cold crash and how long will I...

I have an old fridge that I've turned into a kegerator but now I need shanks and a manifold and whatever else. I'm going to drill a hole in the side and run my CO2 line out it. Can someone offer suggestions on what other equipment I will need and cheap places to get it?

Can someone give a complete breakdown on how I can save money on yeast. I currently have a breakfast stout in the primary that contains Irish ale yeast. What steps should I take to be able to reuse, save, freeze, or whatever to keep from buying smack packs as often?

I hope someone can give me some good advice. Two weeks ago I brewed a Scot Wee Heavy and a smaller Scottish Ale. They have both been in primary for 14 days. Does anyone have an opinion on how long to secondary and how long to leave each in the keg before carbing.

My Wee Heavy called for a ton of grain. It was really chugging away for about 3 days then airlock activity stopped. Is that uncommon for a beer that big?

Can anyone tell me when to add DME. Do I add it before I begin to boil ?
