Just got back from Russian River with lots of Pliny, bottled on 12/21. Would like to trade for Heady, Sip of Sunshine or other worthy IPA's not available on the west coast. I'm honest and willing to prove it.

I'm having an unusual fermentation using WLP001. I've been brewing for for two years and this is batch #30 for me. I've used WLP001 probably 20+ times. I'm brewing an IPA, OG 1.071. I ordered the yeast through More Beer and it shipped via FedEx. I forgot to order an ice pack but the high...

I've brewed about 30 batches, mosyly Imperial IPA's and mostly recipes somebody else has created. I've done three "all me" recipes that have tuned out fine. I realize now the commercial Double IPA's I really like are not bitter, but hoppy. My favorites are: Heady Topper, Pliny the Elder and...

I just learned there's a homebrew competition in my area and I thought I'd drop an entry. Had I known earlier, I would have brewed something specifically to enter but I just found out about this today and the entry date is in 2 weeks. The only beer I have ready now is a variation of a recipe I...

Anyone in the Orange County, CA area considering opening a brewery? I'm a very new home brewer with a dream of opening a commercial brewery. I'm looking for an experienced brewer with an interest in going pro with a partner. Ideally you have commercial brewing experience. Reply or PM if...

I'm growing yeast from Chimay bottles for the first time. I started slowly with a small amount of low gravity wort in a mason jar and I worked up to a 1.6 liter starter on a stir plate over one week. The starter took off and after 48 hours I'm now cold crashing. My plan was to keep it in the...

I'm now making staters after doing a few batches with dry yeast or pitching two vials of liquid yeast at a time. I currently have a 1600 ml starter on a stir plate and I'm wondering about temperature. Is it as important as when I'm fermenting my actual beer? Could off-flavors transfer into from...

I've read a few threads about cold-crashing and there doesn't seem to be a consensus on if doing so drops the yeast out enough to prevent proper carbonation in bottles. Some insist they never have issues, others say add yeast at bottling "to be safe." I'm a new brewer, on my eighth AG batch...

Bummed to discover a leak from the seal of the racking cane of my new SS brew bucket. Wort's been in the bucket for 56 hours. So rack it to a spare pail? Clean it up and don't worry about it? Reach my hand in there and tighten it? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I think I know the answer but just wanted confirmation. At the last minute I added 1 lb of corn sugar to the recipe below to up the ABV and because the corn sugar was sitting around. Now I think I defeated the purpose of this malty beer by drying it out. Thoughts? All-Grain - Raging Red...

I'm brewing an AG Imperial IPA tomorrow and the recipe says 3 lbs of corn sugar as a mash addition. Seems really odd. I'm a new brewer but I've added corn sugar as an "alcohol boost" before but always with 15 minutes left in the boil. I've searched and searched and can't find anything about...

Anyone have any ideas for something to brew (AG) now to give as gifts for Christmas? I'd like to do something that would benefit from aging for 6 months like maybe a stout. But something "Christmas-y" would be nice. Thinking about making labels and having the bottles look presentable rather...

New brewer here thinking about my third AG batch. I'm planning on using a couple of teaspoons of Gypsum for an AG IPA based on Beersmith's tool to get my water profile ideal for an IPA. I was planning on adding it to the kettle. I'm not ready to try to mess with the mash ph yet. Anybody...

Hello, I bought my first extract kit online in January and became hooked pretty much immediately. I did four more extract kits then decided I needed to go AG. I've done two AG batches now and I just ordered the grains for an IPA of my own design. I think it will be the best or worst...
