Hi! Last spring I gave away some plants as a gift, but one of them was so small and ugly I decided to keep it. It grew a little last year, and then i forgot it on the balcony over the winter, but to my surprise it survived and started growing pretty well this spring. I've moved and now live in...

Hi! Me and my homebrew partner have recently joined a small homebrew club, with a little more equipment than we had in the kitchen. We're bottling our beer, and because small apartments etc going to continue to do so (much easier and takes up less space to store bottles in the basement and...

Hi! We brewed an ipa a couple of weeks ago, and fermented it with california ale 5 (from starter). By accident we mashed it a little higher than we wanted, at 69C/156F. Measured og was 1.057, and now it has been stuck at 1.022 for 6 days. We fermented it at 18C/64F for eight days, after that...

Hi! Me and my friend have been brewing saisons, esb:s and christmas ales the last batches, and now when the holidays are over, I feel the urge for hoppy beers again. But since the winter's still going strong, I thought I would like a semi dark, malty, biscuity type of ipa (not necessarily high...

Hi! Me and a friend brewed a dark christmas ale yesterday night (so about twelve hours ago), kind of inspired by the amazing N'ice Couffe. We brewed 21 liters/5.5 gallons, and the og ended up at 1.093 (goal was 95 but never brewed anything this strong so im still happy!) The yeast we used was...

Hi! I usually brew 10 liter ( 2.5 gal) and split it in two carboys, which I ferment in my wardrobe (around 70F). Now I'm going to put one of the carboys in my basement, which is around 52F and I wonder, if I want to make it as crisp as possible in 52F, what yeast do you suggest? I would...

I've only been brewing since january, and this summer I realized i went too fast ahead, tried different grains, yeasts, hops and beer styles every brew, which means I can't really tell what I'm doing good and what I'm doing bad, cause I don't know where the flavors come from. So I've decided...

Ive been brewing since january, and due to lack of ferm temp control (and because of taste preferences) ive only brewed more or less american styled ipas an apas. Now I'm kind of curious about all the old style european so called noble (?) hops. I understand its all about what kind of beer...

hi! I have half a bag of citra that I'm a little worried about the quality of... I bought it in january and it spent its first month on the balcony (and the swedish winter wasnt as cold as you might think - about refrigerator temps). When I realized that was stupid, I moved them to the...

Hello! Im trying to clean out my closet and free up some space for new ingredients, so I wanted to try to brew something with only the stuff I have. I came up with this recipe, I want a blonde lager-like (allthough I can't control my ferm temp so I'll ferment it like an ale), summery...

hello! First of all, I know literally nothing about science etc so... sorry if I'm asking stupid/weird questions. I've bee thinking about the thing with adding gelatin to your wort for clearing it. What exactly is it that makes it work? Is it something on a molecular level or something that...

Hey guys! (I posted this in the wrong place a couple of weeks ago, sorry for that. But I wanted it in my dropdown so I'm adding it here, hope it's ok) I've just been brewing since january, and this is just the third batch I ever made, but it just turned out so damn good I'm shocked, and I...

Hey guys! I've just been brewing for a few months, and this is just the third batch I ever made, but it just turned out so damn good I'm chocked, and I wanted to share it with someone! :tank: So I found these slovenian hops that I'd never heard of, Celeia & Aurora, and that where really...

Hi! I've made some small 5 liter (1.3 gal) batches, and all have been going pretty smooth so far. But I decided to upgrade a little to 10 liters recently. For the 5 liters I used half a packet of US-05, but when I was going to pitch my 10 l batch, i read on the label that a packet 11.5g is...

Hi! Im going to try a brew this weekend which involved a little black malt. I'm doing 10liter (2.6gal), so its very little, I think I need around 20 grams, for a grain bill of total 2.6 kg (5.7lbs), and I wont have time to buy actual black malt before my brewing day (also I dont want to buy a...

Hi all! Im kind of new to this, only been doing a bunch of small 5 liter batches, and that's basically what I can fit in my small apartment. But a week ago, I checked the temperature in the basement of my building (where I have a small storage space) and every time I've checked it, it's...
