I know this is the second clone question I've started recently but putting the previous experiment on the back burner while I focus on one I've worked on longer care more about. I've been working on a clone for Epic Day DIPA from Eddyline brewery for about 6 month now. I think I've just about...

I’m looking to brew a beer for my buddies 40th birthday party. Currently his go-to beer is Odell’s Mountain Standard IPA. I’m really looking to copy this for him. There currently is no clone recipe. They refer to it as a ‘Mountain IPA”, a cross between West Coast and New England. Seems like...

Hi all. I’m entering my very first homebrew competition next week and wanted some opinions on how to bottle. I currently keg all my beers but have some fermdrops because I usually make one or two bottles to age or give to friends. I just fill them from the spigot on my fermonster. The beer is...

While I have never done secondary for simple beers I just recently switched to dry hopping in the primary and keg as well as doing secondary in the keg for beers that require secondary. I brewed a sorta Scottish ale a month ago and the recipe says after 2 weeks in primary to secondary for 4...

Hi. I am having a problem with my ph always coming out low. I am very new to water adjustments. The only thing I am doing currently is Sodium Metabisulphite for chlorine and lactic acid to lower ph. I’ve got pretty good water so just starting small. I started both these changes at the same time...

I just brewed and came out .010 low. According to the math I got 50% efficiency when I normally get around 75%. I tried a new sparge method for one and also I let my LHBS mill my grains which I normally don’t do but was in a hurry. I noticed him messing with his mill before hand and adjusting...

So my Great Dane is named Douglas Fur because me and my wife are very corny and like punny animal names. We also lately have been making some recipes that have some relation (name and/or ingredients) to the pets we've had in our lives. I've got two already that will be regular rotations in my...

So after a year break, not intentional just a bad year, I've starting brewing again. After brewing last night I've decided it's time to stop using my 7.5 gallon pot. I've used 10.5 gallon pots before and feel like that's a good size for me. I do BIAB with a poor over sparge and use the steamer...

Been wanting to get a nice tap handle that tells me whats on tap. Finally made myself one. I usually brew 2.5g and bottle so mostly keep commercial stuff in my keezer. So I made this handle that I can put the keg caps on. Just drilled out this puck shape and put an edge on it. Then attached it...

Did some quick searching and didn't find the answer. Sorry if it's somewhere. I built a Ferm chamber last week with an STC-1000 and last night I brewed and am using the chamber for the first time. I'm using WLP380 Hefe yeast for a honey wheat. White Labs says 66-70 degrees, so I set it on 68...

Hey guys. Found a monster mill MM3 on Craigslist for $150. Guy says not used much. I think it's a sweet deal but wanted to check here before pulling the trigger.

So my first ever from scratch recipe. I've been brewing BIAB for a year now but have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to recipe making so please don't hold back. Not much to it cause I wanna keep it simple. Been really wanting to do a hoppy wheat. I love wheats and, while I don't like IPAs...

Living in Colorado and doing my BIAB on a turkey fryer outside the start of winter means the start of stressful brewing. The cold reeks havoc on my temps through the whole process, but especially mashing. I always wait for a warmer day to brew, wrap my pot in a comforter and bring it inside...

Made my first cider and thought I was gonna bottle tomorrow but when I checked it I discovered it hasn't cleared at all. I don't have my exact recipe cause I'm at work but I did 3 gallons of cider, some tannin, yeast energizer, and dry yeast. I can't remember if it was a wine or champagne yeast...

Gonna grow hops for the first time this year. Since I just moved and am still unpacking and don't really have my place and it's landscaping figured out I'm just gonna start with one plant in a big pot. Prolly transplant to ground next year and get more. I live in Colorado and wanted to know what...

Looking for a recipe for this. Tried to find one and the few ginger beer recipes that are actual beer are way more complex than this. I was hoping for an exact clone to make SWMBO happy. I only have about three all grains under my belt and no recipe making skills. Gonna do 2.5 gallons but I can...

Let me just start by saying I'm not gonna dump it. I know to just let it ride for a while. I brewed up Austin Homebrew's blue moon clone, all grain BIAB. I let it primary for two weeks. When I went to bottle it had kinda a funk to it. Maybe rotten fruit smell. It still had some goop floating...

Ordered a pound for my LHMS clone. Only need half cause I'm doing 2.5 gallons. Whats the best way to store the leftover. Can't find it anywhere.

Hey all. New to all grain. Jut did my first all grain with BIAB yesterday. As I've said before on here I only do 2.5g at a time. I've just been halving recipes online or making them with my LHBS but been wanting to try some kits from the different websites available (midwest, northern, etc...)...

So I'm making an Irish Red for my first attempt at all grain. Gonna be doin 2.5g batch BIAB with a batch sparge. I'm excited to make this step. My question is. I went to my LHBS and he helped me work out a recipe. I trust him cause the extract recipes he's set me up with have turned out great...
