Hey. I made a batch of imperial stout, but sadly my cheap 8$ chinese pH meter was broken. The stout is slightly acrid, with a notice blackcurrant like acidity and more roasty than it was previous times I brewed, letting me believe that the pH was off, which is highly believable with such a...

I've recently made a low alcohol ginger beer, with lime, ginger & malt extract. As I understand the Champagne yeast won't eat any of the malt extract, so I could just use that as sweetener and prime it & bottle. This is what I've done, and would just double check that it's correct, as I don't...

I've got plenty of lime, as in over 20. My idea is to somehow use this in beer, my first thought would be a saison or a berliner. Berliner I'd think would get way too sour, so would probably a saison with the amount of lime. Does Baking powder work? I'd imagine it giving a bit of a...

Hey. I mainly brew imperial stouts nowadays, as it's my favourite style, and I personally love to session drink it. Usually with my homebrews I experiment with infusions of cocoa nibs/whole coffee beans / chopped up vanilla beans / chilis and so on to make stouts by infusions. The way I do...

5th October I brewed a "triple" IPA with a OG of 1.098. I'm using WLP009 Australian Ale Yeast, with a 1.2 liter starter of 2 days, made with a 1.040 extract in a 2 liter pet bottle. I mashed at 147 for 90 minutes, mashed out at 178. The problem with this beer is that it's fermenting...

I've got 5 gallons of gushers. The problem was not overpriming (1.8 oz in 5 gallons) but that it wasn't done fermenting. The beer was 1.074 OG, and bottled at 1.022. I'm using WLP090 strain, which people frequently report done fermentation in 3 days on. I put it in 23th February, I first...

Hey! I'm using WLP090 and yeast been in primary for 10 days. Day 4-7 I wasn't home and unaware of temperature, when I left it was 19c (66 f) and when I came back it was 15 c (59 F). It is probably certain that day 5-7 it was 15c (60 f) and day 4 15c (60 f) most of the time. The first 3 days...

Hey. I just did my first BIAB, I'm new to this technique. The recipe I made myself; 4500g (10 lb) Pale Ale malt (Maris Otter) 800g (1.75 lb) Vienna Malt (Weyerman) 200g (0.45 lb) Carapils 200g (0.45 lb) Crystal malt ---- I added 23 litres of water (6 gallon) After 70 min mash...

Hey there. I've got some Mosaic, Amarillo and Citra hops and was planning to make an IPA this weekend. But I'm a bit weak in the malt department, and malt is something without shipping is hard for me to come-by. What I've got is 5 kg/11lbs Vienna malt (Weyermann), 1 kg/2.2lbs Pale...
