Hey guys so I have a problem. I just got a new kegerator for christmas! The problem is I don't have any homebrew to put in it. So what I was thinking of doing was trying to fill it with commercial beer. I would love to have it set up for the college football playoffs (go bucks) and new years...

I did brew it. I didn't hop it enough and went to easy on the malt bill so it came out lacking character and a little more grapefruit soda than I envisioned. I might give it another shot in the spring though and see if I can bring all the flavors together. The bitterness from grapefruit peel...

most likely you will be fine. It is possible that wild yeast or bacteria got in and will give you an off flavor. Some oxidation could occur but it sounds like your getting a pretty decent seal. You'll know if your batch is infected either when you bottle (your bottles might explode or you might...

Does anyone know what the OG of apple cider is before adding any sugar? I usually use whole foods 365 cider because it doesn't have any preservatives in it. I want to make a cider batch at about 5.5 percent and use honey to get the abv boost. Does anyone know what sugar is best to use? Brown...

I really liked this beer I find myself getting bored of "regular" IPA's although my palate demands the bitterness. Definitely a great choice in the fall. Anyone have an idea of how to clone this one I would love to give it a shot?

Hey i am heading to Scottsdale this weekend for a wedding and was wondering if anyone had suggestions of what beers to pick up there that I cant get here in Ohio. They dont neccesarily need to be from Arizona, just something really good I cant get here. ALso, where should I shop for beer in...

sorry i know this is an old thread but does anyone know if the area around market district in U.A. is dublin road or not? All the maps are poorly detailed i feel like i'm right on the border?

I'm doing a full boil. Next time I will try to boil more vigorously and go extra extra hoppy. Damn I just want a nice hoppy apa for summer. Could using whole leaf hops help?

My hop schedule was 1.22 oz cascade 60 min 0.61 oz cascade 30 min 0.30 oz cascade 15 min 0.30 oz cascade 5 minutes I'm adding the hops directly to the boil, I got pellet hops from my lhbs they are from hop union if I remember right. I adjusted the Aa to 6.2 percent as listed on the package...

Ok so I've been doing BIAB for about six months now an am having a pretty serious problem. My finished product has almost no hop bitterness. I am adding the right amount of hops, weighed out on a kitchen scale, at the right times, but have yet to produce any brews with any amount of Bitterness...

I'm trying to make an APA for spring summer with lots of grapefruit flavor/ aroma in it . I'm trying to make it a noticeable flavor in the beer, however I don't want alcoholic grapefruit juice (that's what salty dogs are for). I was going to add the peels of 3-5 grapefruits to the boil for...

Yea just researched FWH I think i'm gonna do that. I don't see anything bad about it good idea!

Sorry those hop additions were supposed to be at 15, 10, and 5 minutes for both hops. But you think 10, 5, and 0 minutes would be better? I'm pretty new to this how will that change the amount of flavor/aroma ill get.

Here is what I was thinking about brewing up in a few days here. I'm trying to get a balanced IPA with strong citrus flavor and aroma with some pine in the background, and a smooth balanced bitterness and a strong Malt background. I'm looking for good hop aromas and balance and drinkabillity. My...

Hey I'm no expert as I've never used chocolate before but I have read that racking over the chocolate in the secondary works well. Also im wondering if there is a form of chocolate that would not introduce extra oils. Maybe using cocoa powder? I know when i use peanut butter i either press all...

Hey i brewed this up about a month ago and just got around to trying it. Basically this is my attempt at doing a smash (almost) and using some belgian ale yeast just to see how I like it. It turned out extremely thin bodied (i prefer malty) and a tad bitter. It has a strong yeast after taste...

Im about to brew up a three gallon biab batch of a Breckenridge Christmas ale clone. I just upgraded from one gallon batches so I currently have three one gallon carboys. If i split my fermentation up into these three carboys do you think i will have any problems, is there any reason to...

All you BIAB'ers convinced. I decided to get a 10 gallon stockpot as my brewpot ($40) and a grain bag and I'm going to pick up a bucket next time I head to my LHBS for ingredients. I'm looking forward to brewing some spiced christmas ale in a quantity that I am willing to share. Thanks going...
