So I recently underwent a classic homebrewer scenario: Brewer learns extract brewing. Brewer learns about mashing, fermentation temp control, etc. Brewer experiments with recipe formulation, partial mash, dry hopping techniques, and kegging. Brewer accumulates garage full of equipment as...

This recipe below is my newest version of a pale ale that I have been trying to tweak for a house ale. It is getting cold crashed today then will be kegged on Black Friday. I've been reading up on opinions regarding dry hop length, hop stand techniques, and how to really get good hop flavor...

Maybe I am just hungover but I just roused my yeast four days into fermentation. With the airlock in position and the headspace full of CO2, what is the risk of oxidizing my beer by swirling the fermentor?

Well, yesterday was an Epic brew day for me and it ended in tragedy. I lost a beautiful batch of homebrew. I have been fascinated with homebrewing since I was given a Mr. Beer kit about five years ago. I only recently began racing full throttle into the obsession for the past 9 months. I...
