There are a few ways, just wondering.

I think I got it. 10-1 with DME and water (1g DME for 10 ML water) I used Mrmalty to estamate how big of a starter. Says 4.19 liters. That just seems a little much, maybe not. I am shooting for a SG of 1.077 Does this seem right to you guys? Thanks for the help

This is my second time with this problem. First time was with the Hef and the second time was with a rye IPA. First Half of the keg pours great. As it gets empty the foam gets worse and worse. I have tried purging the Co2 out of the keg, adjusting serving pressures anywhere from 3 to 10...

I drink beer, OJ, water and club soda with lime. Anyone ever carbonate a keg of spring water for club soda/soda water? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I brewed two 5 gal batches of a blond ale. After chilling the wart, I did my usual whirlpool. I transferred into two 5 gal fermentation buckets I blended the beer. 50/50. My thought was so they would turn out identical. Nope. Same fermentation chamber. Same temp. Same cold crash. I can...

I can't get two to read the same. I have on in my boil kettle, one floating and an infrared gun. None read the same. How do I calibrate them? They all read 212 at boil but at lower temps they all over the place by 10 deg or so. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Was lucky enough to have the opportunity to give some of our homebrew to a head brewmaster of a large craft beer company. This was his response to the first one he tried..... "The Belgian pale lychee beer was very good. So good that I drank the whole bottle, which I can't say about most of...

I am starting to get into kegging very slowly. When I do, I cold crash to 34 deg. I keg and carb at that temp with CO2. When bottleing, how cold is too cold when cold crashing when priming with sugar? I'm afraid the yeast will drop out. Thoughts? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I was transfuring from primary to secondary. 1/2 way thru I notice my bung leaking. I tighten and made it worse. So I hauled ass, cleaned and sanitized a new bucket. Due to the leak, used the bung with no hose, (large bung) and let it run down the side of the new bucket. I am worried about...

I runied my yeast. Just finishing boil. will I be ok if I put it in fermenter with no yeast and buy more tomorrow and pitch it? do i put it in the fridge? room temp? Am I screwed?

I am brewing all grain. I have a friend that works for a company that makes flavor extracts. Some are all natural, some are artificial. I have not used them yet, but I have about 12 different flavors. Anyone ever use an extract for flavoring a beer? What are your thoughts?

March 15 at Stone. I am excited. Anyone ever done one of these? Its with the AHA. http://www.stoneworldbistro.com/aharally/

Read an article about a German Heff. Instead of using sugar before bottling, ya add some wart that was removed before yeast was pitched. Then add this back in after fermentation before bottling. Never heard that before. Anyone ever do this?

Fröbel Suds would like to trade beer with another local home brewer. Anyone interested?

Anyone trade home brews? I am in Southern California (Norco) and am interested in trading bottles. Always love tasting new beer.
