I'm trying to make a beer to represent red white and blue... Was thinking a red ale with a whit or wheat yeast and blueberry flavoring... Doesnt sound amazing but i think done properly these flavors can compliment. Any thoughts or advice moving into this? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

So i have 4 oz of makers mark soaking 4 split vanilla beans and 1.5 oz of oak chips to drop into my braggot. Should i just dump all in, wait a week, then taste? Or strain off bourbon, put in chips and beans and then decide at bottling if more bourbon should be added? Braggot Sg was 1.90 and is...

So i have a fermentation chamber with a braggot on queue. The brew bucket popped open a week ago and made a horrible mess. I have cleaned that up and transferred to secondary. Cleaned the beer up with Clorox wipes and then hit the chamber with star San as well as floor. The cats are now...

I made my first braggot and the lid of the 7 gallon brew bucket blew off, blew my fermentation chamber open and made a mess. Should i be worried my beer has been contaminated from being open to air for 12 + hours with cats and dogs in the house? Next batch I'll do a blowoff tube for sure...

So I'm Making my first braggot. Going to be about 10% abv. Doing oak chips soaked in makers mark for 5 days and then have cranberry extract and vanilla beans. Is this overkill? Or will i be able to get the tastes of each if i pull this off properly? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I purchased a bit if used equipment and there is a stainless pot that has a chip in the bottom. I can pick away at material around the chip. There seems to be another metal under the outside coating of stainless. Does this affect the pot negatively? And what can i do to make this a sound...

I have the avantco 3500 watt system that is gaining a lot of traction with popularity for brewing. I have dedicated 20 am plugs which will work when i get an 1800 watt unit for sparge water etc... But i am at a standstill for plug on the 3500 watt unit. I have an open stove socket to use but...

I have seen a lot of opinions and data here and they all tend to lean the same way... Go big now to avoid additional purchases in the future. I currently do 5 gallon partial mash batches and extracts with a pre-tea. I am moving to all grain and would like to have a 10 gallon option in the...

So, like a few others, i am in the initial stages of planning my electrical brew system. I found these submersible heating elements from keg kits: http://www.kegkits.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=W&Product_Code=240V_HEL&Category_Code=CNTRL Was not sure how difficult, or...

I have a small budget and some current equipment. I am looking to move outside or to my empty upstairs apartment (we are not going to rent it until we move out) and i have an open electrical stove outlet begging for use. I am currently brewing on an electrical stove and it needs to stop...

If your brew pot does not have the proper materials in the base could you compensate with an interface disk? Will this alter the heat control time to boil, etc? I want to get out if the kitchen and was going to build a shelter logic shed for outdoor brewing but it gets extremely cold in the...

I am in the Buffalo NY area and am looking to acquire some additional equipment. Looking to either move my brewing outside (utilize a propane set up inside a tarp shelter)or upstairs and begin electric brewing. I am only three batches in so i am looking for any equipment that will help me...

I recently posted an introduction that explains how i got started with my desire to home brew which has quickly turned from desire, to passion, to obsession (just ask SWMBO). I started with a recipe from Extreme Brews by Sam C. and then did some kit beers. This was just to get my feet wet as...

I have been scouring these forums for quite some time. I finally made the investment and began home brewing once I felt I had sufficient knowledge. I read a few books so i could get differing opinions and really understand the ingredients as much as the process. I am not an all grain...
