Sorry in advance for the long post. :) This weekend, I'll be brewing two all-grain kits from MoreBeer: Haze Craze NEIPA, and Topped With Hops (Heady Topper clone). I normally make my own recipes, and buy all of my ingredients from my LHBS, but because of a months-long hiatus, I decided to...

Hello everyone! I've unfortunately run across my first stuck fermentation. (Queue sad slide-whistle) The beer has been 2.5 weeks in primary, and when it started, it was one of the most vigorous fermentations I've ever seen, outside of an IPA I made with London Ale III, which blew off my blowoff...

Hello! I haven't been on here in quite a long time. :) For my birthday, my girlfriend bought me an 11 gallon pot, so I could finally do a full-volume boil. Up until now, I'd generally boiled about 3 gallons before topping off the fermenter. My crappy electric stove wouldn't get my 5.75 gallons...

So, I was checking the gravity of my Imperial Rye PA, Billy Rye Cyrus, with my wine thief, and afterwards, realized that I'd only used 1 tsp of Iodophor, instead of the two I usually use. I thought I was measuring in teaspoons, but I'd grabbed the 1/2 teaspoon, instead. This was right before...

A couple of months ago, I brewed my 6th batch, a Ginger Saison from Sam Calagione's Extreme Brewing book. It took a very long time to attenuate, in which time I've brewed up 3 more batches. I started fermentation at an OG of 1.072 at about 72 degrees, with Wyeast 3724 Belgian Saison. After about...
