All, I'm planning to make an APA with El Dorado and Mosaic hops as well as sweet orange peel. I'm not sure how to go with the combination though. I fully understand the tropical and fruity intensity I'm about to undergo. Thoughts / tips?

This may be a little long so please bear with me. I've had an issue with infections showing up AFTER I bottle lately. I got my first bottle bomb from a Belgian Double that was given to me in a carboy. It had been bottled for nearly 4 months when the first one went off. I never noticed any off...

A recipe I'm going to make from here calls for 2 lbs of Crystal 10L. I misread and saw the 60 min part of that line as Crystal 60L. So I ordered the wrong thing. I am brewing this in the morning and have no LHBS in my area. In my extra grains I have the following to try and substitute. What...

I've found myself getting interested in a couple of beer blogs. One is by Bear Flavored. Another by the Mad Fermentationist. They are both good reads but are both almost entirely devoted to sour beers. This is good but not my style of brewing (yet). Can anyone recommend some other regularly...

Neat little article about an 11 yo who's beer experiment made it to the International Space Station. http://www.kshb.com/dpp/news/local_news/water_cooler/child-brews-beer-that-can-be-used-in-space

EDIT: For some reason the original posting with the recipe info dropped all the info. Here is my best attempt at what it should have been. Yeast: US-05 Starter: Yes Primary Fermentation time and temp: 21 days @ 65F Secondary Fermentation time and temp: 7 days @65F OG: 1.073 FG: 1.015...

So I'm brewing a beer this weekend (my recipe) which per beersmith will start at 1.094 and end at 1.018 giving me about 10% alcohol. I'm concerned that my Windsor yeast won't be able to finish it out and it will stall high due to the high alcohol amount. I want it to finish close to 1.018 if...

Anyone seen or used these yet? Seems like AIH is going all Coors on us hehe. http://www.homebrewing.org/Cold-Activated-Crown-Caps-144ct_p_4083.html

There is a wonderful article I found via a facebook link yesterday on Morebeer.com's website about wort aeration and the effect it has on wort fermentation. I highly suggest reading it even though it is quite long. The link is here. And... Discuss...

Could this be our newest/most up to date guide to creating recipes for major beer styles? I know you can get these (and more) just by searching BYO also but this is a nice collection all together for our major styles at a low cost of $10. A win IMO.

I don't have any one recipe in mind but I was wondering how you would be able to figure out what actual weights you would use for a batch of any given size if you are only told what grains and the % of the grist bill each is. Any suggestions?

So I've been doing a bit of research but have had no real success in answering my question. Perhaps one of you can give me the answer? Yeast require sugar to reproduce. They also use the sugar to produce alcohol. For a single yeast cell when it reproduces does it also produce alcohol? If it...

There are tuns (pun intended) of great gizmos and gadgets out there for us home brewers to have fun with. Some serve a very vital purpose. Some pieces serve more of a "nice to have" type role. Other than what you absolutely have to have to brew beer with, what are some things you own that you...

I was looking at getting a bucket for doing a secondary ferment for things such as fruit beers since it is easy to get the fruit in and out of when I noticed that morebeer.com's (where i usually order from) buckets don't have gaskets in the lids to form a seal with. I haven't found proof of...
