So I have lots of extra ingredients from past batches and I'd like to use them in a more or less experimental brew but I'm not sure what kind of beer style it'll fall under, if any at all... any suggestions? 3LBS Rye (LME) 3LBS Dark (DME) .5LBS Melanoidin .5LBS Carafoam .5LBS Crystal 60...

Was wondering if anyone else who brewed used Instagram. If so feel free to follow me @ _VRK_ lets share pictures and talk about our passion....BEER!

I'm a fairly new brewer (on batch 7) from Kokomo, Indiana and was wondering if there was anyone in the area who brewed as well. I feel as if I'm the only homebrewer around. I would like to try and plan some kind of festival here to have since the closest is in Indy.

So after only 9 days of my newest Double IPA in primary I racked to secondary to dry hop and take a hydrometer reading, but to my surprise my beer is already fairly carbonated... almost enough to drink! Is this odd? Has this happened to anyone else?

So I force carbed my stout at 30psi then dropped to about 10psi serving pressure but its still all foam... Everything is clean and it isn't over carbonated. I have about 3.5ft of line and its set at about 37 degrees. What's wrong?

I brewed an oatmeal stout today with some galena hops and bit of chocolate and coffee. I like to name my beers because I feel it adds to the entire "creative" process. Anyone have a name? I really enjoy funny ones or something epic or both!

Being fairly new at brewing I find that something different happens with every beer I brew. My current Pale Ale was in the primary for 2 weeks and now is in the secondary for a little over a week. My inquiry is about tiny bubbles that have formed on the surface. They are not large by any...

I am in the process of building a kegerator but still need most of the parts that come with a conversion kit plus a c02 tank! Thought maybe you guys could help me out by sending me in the right direction towards purchasing these items (I'm shooting for cheap)! Website or places I could look...

After brewing my first beer I learned tons about fermentation, the different kinds of hops, that there is nearly a million recipes for just about anything you want to make, that you can spend 100 dollars or thousands on beer making equipment but most of all I learned that fellow brewers hardly...

I recently transferred about 4 1/2 gallons of beer from my bucket into my 6 gallon carboy. My concern is that with quite a bit of headspace it's at risk for infection because there isn't enough c02 being produced in the secondary to protect the beer from air... any thoughts?

For my next brew I was thinking a pale ale with cascade hops and some kind of fruit tossed in the secondary, maybe like cranberries or something similar. Any ideas? Suggestions? Concerns? I've never done anything with fruit before, neither have I had a hoppy/fruity beer!

I plan to cold crash my current pale ale before bottling. My question is; what is the ideal time and temp for cold crashing. How will this affect the time of bottling?

So on the 24th I'll be siphoning my beer into my secondary for another week and when taking a reading I noticed that I have a little less than 4 1/2 gallons when my recipe called for 5. Would it be bad to just add an additional half gallon into my secondary after or before I siphon?

So my first brew (pale ale with perle and cascade hops) is currently fermenting but I have two concerns with it. My first is that I haven't witnessed any bubbling in my airlock and its been over a week (although I wasn't checking it every few minutes and my bucket is fairly large with only 4...
