Has anyone tried freeze drying hops for long term storage? Survivalists want to know.

This is a very drinkable stout and everyone likes it but it is a little too sweet for what my target is. How would you change this recipe to make it full bodied and less sweet? Oh, and I'm using WLP002 yeast.

A while ago I brewed Yoopers Pale Ale according to her posted recipe. All went well during the brew and fermentation and it has been kegged now for a month. Maybe my Cascades were old or something but this tastes very bland - zero hop flavor. Not surprising but nobody likes it. There's still 3/4...

The fact that this beer is seasonal is what got me into home brewing. My wife fell in love with it and was unhappy when it was out-of-season, so I told her I would learn to brew beer and make it for her year-round. I succeeded with my coffee Porter and she enthusiastically supports my home...

While cleaning out the attic my wife came across a box of her old sales award plaques. She brought them out to the garage and challenged me to do something useful with the nice wood. So, here's what I'm doing:

Went to my LHBS yesterday and bought a vial of WLP002 to make a stepped starter for brewing my house Coffee Porter on Sunday. After 15 hours on the stir plate there is no sign of life. All attempts to resuscitate have failed:(

I have a 2l flask and I made a 1500ml starter from a Wyeast 1335 yesterday evening. I'll keep it on the stir plate until this evening and then pour half of it into a sanitized mason jar and refrigerate both the jar and the flask. After the yeast have settled out, I'll decant the flask and make a...

I bought a Brooklyn Brewshop chocolate maple porter 1-gallon all grain kit, with the thought of adding an ounce of coffee to the secondary instead of maple syrup for an easy chocolate coffee porter kit brew. However, the instructions call for adding 3/4 cup of maple syrup at the end of the...

http://youtu.be/COgrqTp-wxs This happened during the night so it went 4 hours without the airlock. Hope it's going to be okay.

Greetings all. Today I will begin my home brewing career with my first batch, Caribou Slobber, from an extract kit. I will start with a one gallon, stove-top batch and quickly succumb to the predicted addiction, then clean out the garage get the 5-gallon equipment and get going! Thanks for...
