Help, IPA's are "Flappy" or dull, lacking that crisp bright finish like some of our favorite West Coast versions. What could be the cause? I keep things clean, treat my water, use fresh ingredients, pay close attention to mash temps, make healthy yeast starters, regulate fermentation...

My sister is getting married! She wants me to make 25 gallons of beer (22oz bombers) for her wedding favors. She and her girlfriend are a house divided. The fiancé likes ipa's, and my sister likes less hoppy beers. (She's not apposed to hops). This would be considered a wedding gift. My...

The elevation difference between barbs, is this normal? I bought the false bottom from NB and wasn't expecting this kind of hight difference.

I have a stout that started fermenting again when I racked to a secondary. Nothing new, right? Except it's still off gassing 4 weeks later. Afraid to bottle.. What do you guys think? Ohh and it's been sitting on the dry hops that long too.... Fml Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I've been brewing for almost a year now and have been brewing alone from the beginning. My little sister(25), after drinking many of my beers asked how it was done and if she could come over for a brew session. I was excited to have someone else show interest in the process. So we planned...

I've recently stopped buying All-grain kits and started buying grains from the LHBS. First beer was Denny's Rye IPA, hit my numbers everything was fine and dandy. (must have been beginners luck) This latest brew was a Winter Warmer with British 2-row (pearl) as the base malt, marris-otter was...

Mid-May I had some ale yeast laying around and decided to go get a gallon of unpasturized cider. I boiled some brown sugar down and combined the cider yeast and sugar. It fermented for about a month at 70 degrees. It's been sitting in my cellar now for almost 2 months. Should I.... 1. Add...

My hydrometer broke on me ten minutes after mashing in yesterday. It shattered when it slipped out of its container while in my brewing equipment tub. After much debate I decided to proceed and pull a sample, put it in a mason jar until I can get a new hydrometer. Any problems with this plan?

My buddy said he had a 6.5 gallon brew kettle I could borrow. Turns out its 5.5 gal... My solution is to split the wort into two 3.125 gal boils resulting in a 5 gal batch. Here are my questions... 1. How should I collect first runnings and sparge so that the two have the same preboil...

Roughly 8 hours of settling. Does this look ok?

Some friends and I are going to go on the bourbon distillery tour this Saturday. We are looking for a good place for dinner Friday night. Anyone know a close craft brewery around the Hawthorne inn on Cypress Station in Louisville.

Has anyone experienced a relatively passive fermentation with the Safbrew wb-06 yeast? It's been 5 days and no airlock activity, however I can turn off the lights and shine my cellphone light on the side of the pail and see what looks like a krausen ring line. Here are some details: Pitched...

Extract kit 2nd batch Brewers Best-Witbier I added the spice pack too soon in the boil! By too soon I mean at the beginning of the boil with the LME. What should I expect? Because its going to be consumed regardless!
