Hey all, I have about 4 gallons of a malty Oktoberfest that I kegged five weeks ago. This beer just isn't doing it for me. I seem to taste a little twang to it. I want to see if I can add some type of pumkin pie flavoring (ie. brewcraft?) or spices to this to maybe mask some of that twang and...

So I put together my homemade stirplate 2 weeks ago, and purchased a 1000ml flask. I boiled maybe 850ml of water with 3 ounzes of DME in the flask, cooled to 70, added a vial of liquid yeast (Ringwood). This gave me the 1000ml needed. I placed tin foil on top and let the stiplate do its job...

I wanted to brew my first 10 gallon batch tommorow and I am having 2nd thoughts. I already milled my grain at the LHBS for a 10 gallon batch. Can I mix the grain well enough to split this into two 5 gallon batches, or would you not take the chance? My concerns of not doing a 10 gallon batch is...

I am brewing an all grain recipe for an oatmeal stout this weekend. The recipe calls for a 90 minute boil as opposed to a 60 minute boil. There will be a 90, 15, and 1 minute hop addition. What is the purpose for extending a boil to 90 minutes? What does this accomplish?

I'm up in the air about which stout to make. Its between Charlie's Barrel full of Monkeys Wheat Oatmeal Stout, or his Dusty Mud Irish Stout. Both are all grain recipes. Has anyone made these and if so had did they come out? I would really like a smooth roasty stout to sip on during the upcoming...

Just brewed my first at home All Grain brew this weekend and I was having trouble collecting all the wort from my keggle. I have the same pick up tube as Drunkatuw All the connections were tight and leak proof and my keggle was elevated 3' off the floor, but the wort would not siphon past...

I am brewing an all grain recipe that is asking for 1 lbs of Crisp Crystal 45 and 1/2lbs of Crisp Cystal 77. My Homebrew supply only carries Crystal 40,60,80. Should I just round my grain bill out?

I finally drilled and hooked up my keggle with a weldless fitting. I installed the 1/2" ball lock fitting on the outside. What type of nipple do you suggest to use on the outside?

I bought a six pack of O'dells single batch Double Pilsner http://www.odells.com/beers/sbs/double_pilsner.aspx on Friday after work. Boy this stuff really kicked my butt! Great light fruity taste that went down really smooth but the high alcohol content put me to bed early. It cost about ten...
