Hey folks. I just put together a new tun and am currently in the process of christening it. I went to run off the mash and the grain must've gotten underneath the false bottom when I stirred it in. I had to pour my mash (grain and all) into a pillow case and sparge the same way. I threw my back...

Soo, just a few days ago I finished fermenting a hoppy red ale. Tonight I came home and really wanted to try it. As of now I only have 1 beer out line, but 2 kegs. I pulled the out line from my coffee porter and attached to the red ale keg. I cleared the line and poured a glass of the red ale to...

Alright I've got a porter that is ready to keg and I am going to add some coffee. I bought a bag of an expresso roast coffee that I am cold brewing (~24ozs of water and 7ozs of coffee for 24 hours). I am just wondering if anyone has done a similar method with good results? I enjoy coffee and...

I brewed a knockoff of Dogfish Heads "Raison D'être" and just bottled it yesterday. The home brew smelled fine, but there was a hazy "film" covering roughly 85% of the surface. I've heard that infections are fairly uncommon especially when the brewer is very clean about the whole operation. I...

Howdy folks. I was sent a complimentary coopers lager kit and figured that since it was free I'd do a little experimenting. The coopers kit comes with a "brew enhancer" which is dextrose and malodextrin. I accidentally forgot to add this. I added 1lb of honey malt, a 1/3lb of carmel 60L, and...
