I just finished up brewing an APA and for once everything clicked. Always there's something that goes wrong - from forgetting to add the whirlfloc to the hose falling out of the fermenter and getting wort all over the basement floor. Been brewing for 5 years, on a Kal clone for the last 2...

I've finally been able to track down some information on the water coming to my house. It has some helpful information such as calcium, chloride, sulphate and sodium but I seem to be missing some information for the water calculators - magnesium and bicarbonate etc. I was hoping since I'm...

I've been brewing all grain for about a year or more and always used recipes I've found on here. Lately I'm wanting to come up with my own designs but would really appreciate some input to see if I'm on the right track. I'm wanting to make a good moderately hoppy IPA that can be enjoyed all...

I've finally decided to make the plunge and start doing lagers with my newly acquired freezer and temp controller. I'm going for a European lager with a smooth, light malt flavor and a crisp finish. Something that can be drank all night and enjoyed by all. Here's what I have so far. Input and...

Just got my new MM2.0 yesterday and I wanted to get an opinion on my crush. I used to run my grain at the LBHS twice to get approx 85-87% efficiency. Just put thru some 2 row to see and post a pic to get your guys opinion before brew day on Saturday. Every grain is cracked, there's significant...

So I brewed a 10gal batch of BM's Cream of three crops ale (s05 yeast) and followed it to the letter. Everything went great, mash, temps, fermentation etc. Kegged and naturally carbed for 2.5 weeks at 68 degrees. Chilled it for a few days and it has this somewhat strong clove like flavor...

I've been searching the net with no luck for a Dreher or Borsodi Hungarian Lager clone. I do realize these are considered "the BMC beers of the country" but I find there's a certain mouth-feel and smoothness that you don't get in other beers. From what I've read they're considered Vienna lagers...

Hi, I tried searching but now must ask for some help from the kegging experts. My kegerator setup is pretty simple. One keg + co2 tank in the fridge at around 35-40 degrees with 10 ft of 3/16 bevex beer line and a picnic tap all inside the fridge. My beer was a set and forget it...

I decided to use some gelatin to clear one of my lower gravity (<1.050) beers by transferring the beer to a secondary after 3 weeks in the primary, adding the dissolved gelatin on top and popping it in the fridge for the next 3-4 days to clear before kegging. After all this I sat down and...

Thought it was going to be a boring weekend full of long mindless meetings when lo and behold I look at the meeting info sheet at the hotel. Right across the hall is the "Master Brewers of Canada" meeting hah. Now if only I could get into that one for a few recipes or to see what goes on I'd...

So this is my 5th all grain batch - HBT BJCP 2011 American Wheat and I think everything went as good as it could have .. maybe even slightly better With all my other batches something was wrong, didn't sparge properly, had to top up the primary before pitching, off temps slightly, missed my...
