This stout has been chugging along solid for three days. Beautiful krausen that dropped after a day and a half, now these little crusty looking islands popped up. Haven't seen this is a brew yet. What do you think? Thanks!

Ist wanted to share a photo of my first kegged brew! Thanks all for the help on this Black IPA beauty. Good malt profile and citrusy hop balance....could've gone bigger on the bitterness...we win some, we win a little less on others. Hope you're all having a good one! CHEERS

Hey all, I brewed on Sunday (9/22) and it went really well! Hit my target OG on the dot at 1.069, made a nice little yeast starter, pitched at 70degrees, has been sitting fermenting at 69 degrees with a great krausen for about 4 days. Activity slowed yesterday (9/26) so I took a reading with...

Hey all, Hope you had a fiiiiiiine weekend. I'm making the jump to all grain and recently found a 9 gallon square cooler. I keep seeing 10 gallon 10 gallon 10 gallon for bigger beers, everywhere, but in your opinion (to save some dough) will this be an adequate size for 5 gallon batches? Over...

So, I made my priming sugar mixture for a five gallon batch, 5oz and 2 cups water.. Siphoned into the mixture and came up to four gallons. I haven't bottled yet, should I: 1. put a lid and airlock on it and let it sit for a bit before bottling? If so how long? 2. Bottle it, let it sit for a...

Is there any way to mellow out the bitterness during the bottling process? I have had my ipa in secondary for three weeks now hoping that will do its magic..took a reading and a sip, it's bitter as hell. Thanks all.

Is anyone going to the Big Pour event in Pittsburgh? I tried posting in the events category, but it wouldn't open. Cheers

My FG for my IPA was five points too low @ 1.012. I'm planning to secondary and dry hop, any chance of raising the gravity during this time?

To all, This is my first attempt at creating my own recipe. If someone could review it to make sure I'm not going to screw things up (too terribly) it'd be greatly appreciated. My goal is to create a piney IPA. 3 gallon boil 5 gallon batch Ingredients: 6.6 lbs briess Pilsen (LME) 3 lbs...
