Brewing this tonight. Too late for changes, but let me know what you think. 4 gallon batch. Only thing I forgot to add is 4 oz hop stand and 3 oz dry hop

What is it that locks a brewery into a specific signature taste that makes you know who makes it? Two examples: Lagunitas. All of their beer has this dankness in their beers that other craft beer doesn't have. Sierra Nevada. All their beer has that signature spicy slightly salty taste that...

Wanted to get some thoughts on this recipe. Just trying a stab at formulating a simple IIPA. Thanks. Sorry for the wierd weights... I scaled up from my 3.5 Gal version so you wouldn't have to scale in your head. :D

So I pull the lid off my primary 3 or 4 times during fermentation to take hydrometer readings before bottling or racking off to secondary. Is this too much a risk of oxidization? I'm about to bottle an English mild and noticed significantly less hop flavor and aroma since my last reading. What...

I'm looking for some input for what my next steps should be. Here's my background. I'm 4 3.5 gal biab batches deep in brewing in a plastic e kettle (Pictures on bottom). It's a humble single 1500w element that while getting the job done is a little slow. It's thick PP plastic which has a high...

I currently have a stout in primary (deception cream stout) and the the OP says leave it in the fermenter for a month. This leaves me wondering, after reaching final gravity, is it the same to just bottle it and leave it in the bottle longer? Or does leaving it in primary have an additional benefit?

I have two fresh bottles of Pliny that I want to trade for heady topper. I want to culture the yeasties.

Looking for something to brew with a quick ferment and bottle condition time. Any ideas?

I've got my first batch in day 2 of primary. In a couple days it will be time to rack to secondary, however I keep reading different arguments for or against secondary fermentation. I brewed a SMaSH IPA with pale malt and mosaic. I am concerned about oxidization if I do rack to secondary, and am...

I'm Brian. I live in Redding Ca, and have been hanging around in the background for a while learning and waiting for the optimal time to start brewing. I bought some stuff around a year ago to start brewing but realized that I spent too much and took most of it back... I recently came across...
