I know the images are sideways but what the he’ll is this on top of my beer? I took the cover off of my fermenter today to see this. A big clump of something that is floating on top as well as that 1/4 inch of white powdery substance. Is this infected? Dump it? Never seen anything like this...

I brewed a one hop Hazy IPA on Saturday and put it in the Fermzilla that night. I woke up today and it looks like there is just one big trub and yeast cake in the fermenter. I see zero beer. Lol. I pitched Omega DIPA OYL-052 and it took off like a rocket! The smell from the air lock is awesome...

I got the file of the Clawhammer Supply 120v system from them but can’t figure out how to upload the .bsxm file to BeerSmith. I’m on a Mac and can’t find out how anywhere. Anyone that can help?

I emailed Emmett at Clawhammer but they are moving offices and he’s not responding for that reason. Does anyone have the profile for BeerSmith? If so can you send it to me? Thanks!!

Anyone here have one of these BiAB Systems from Clawhammer? I’m thinking seriously about getting one. Seen a lot of videos and wanna pull the trigger on one but wanna hear from real home brewers about what you think, first. Give me the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Has anyone here bought this beast and if so, what do you think about it? Do you use the plain airlock or pressurized fermentation? Thoughts? Thinking about pulling the trigger on one.

Tomorrow I will be brewing my first all grain brew in my new RoboBrew. I’m sitting here going over the steps and making myself nervous about the whole thing. Any advice for a nervous first timer?

as someone who usually does extract beers but now have a Robobrew, I’m ready for all grain and brewing real beer. Lol. Anyway, my questions are - 1. Where do you buy your grains? If online, can you tell me where/ 2. Are there certain ones that are staples that you always have on hand? Should I...

someone got an all grain recipe for a orange wheat that ya care to share?

can someone tell me exactly what I’m going to need to buy please? I’m tired of bursting bottles and huge messes. I want to buy what I need all at once. Help?

I brewed an APA and tonight I racked it to my bottling bucket to let it sit until Sat. The beer has a faint fruity smell and when I took the gravity reading, I drank what was in the tube. It had a slightly fruity aftertaste. The hops weren't real pronounced either. Did I do something wrong? I...

Here is my question...I want to get away from extract brewing and get deeper into the AG thing. I assume BIAG is the logical next step up. Here are a few questions that I have one vs the other - 1. I have a 7.5 gallon Aluminum Bayou Classic pot. I brew on my gas burner outside. Well, its...

Where do I even start? Ive never brewed anything other than extract, but I'm about to b just a little bored with that and want to branch out to All Grain and creating my own recipe. I have no clue where to start though. My extracts are pretty good, but I know I can do better. Where do I start...

Should I do 1 gallon or bust out with the 5 gallon one to begin with? Read this (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/current-mead-making-techniques.html) a few times already but will probably have some questions. Can anyone provide advice to me, someone who has never tried mead? Anywhere I can find...

I brewed a Chocolate Stout and bottled it. Today, although it's only been carbonating about 5 days, I took one out and chilled it. Popped the top and a nice phhht with smoke rising. Poured it in a glass and got a head. Not a large head, but a head none the less. Took a sip and BAM! It was...

What is this? It looks like spots of foam floating on top. Infection?how can I tell? Fermentation stopped about a week ago. It's just sitting now waiting on me to bottle it. Any help

I brewed an American pale ale on Saturday. Pitched the yeast around 72 degrees. 36 hours later...nothing. This is supposed to be a fast starting yeast. How long do I wait before re pitching? 36 hours seems like an awful long time for this yeast.

So I brewed an American Pale Ale today and since I have a beer in my carboy, decided to use a bucket to ferment it. I've used buckets before but am not sure if that bucket will let in bad light? Will it? Should I cover it? It's fairly dark where I sit and want to ferment it in here where I can...

This is more of a foam on top. Does this look right? Nottingham ale yeast and fermenting around 64-67 degrees in the cool brew bag. Just looks like someone shook my carboy up and there is foam on top. Does this look right?

What say you? Is it worth it? Is this just a big recipe database? Tell me why I should get it..
