So this picture is after two months in the primary. It tastes good, and didn't have any off smells, so I went ahead and kegged it. It's a chocolate milk stout. Did it get infected? I used cocoa powder and lactose in the boil, so I think that could be a source... Either way, I might just...

So I'm considering doing a green tea cream APA in the future. It will look something like this: OG: 1.063 FG: 1.021 IBU: 45 11 lb 2-row (80%) 1 lb Crystal 20 (7.3%) 0.75 lb Carapils (5.5%) 1 lb Lactose (7.3%) Mash around 150 for 60 minutes. 1 oz of Citra, Amarillo and Cascade at...

So I'm going to be brewing an IPA tomorrow using Imperial Yeast's version of whitelabs' yeast WLP644, Saccharomyces "Bruxellensis" Trois, which is supposed to give pineapple, mango, citrus flavors This is my planned recipe: OG: 1.082 FG: 1.018 (hopefully closer to 1.010) IBU: 110 Grain...

I brewed a flanders red about 12 months ago per this thread: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=241728 I did a 5 gallon batch, pitched a roeselare blend, then after 3 months racked it to a second carboy and pitched the 2nd 5 gallon batch right on top of the yeast cake with a fresh...

I've decided I've brewed too many floral/tropical IPA's in a row, so this time I'm going to switch it up. My goal is to really show case the Columbus hop in this one--I don't think I've used it in my last 4 IPA's... I'd appreciate any feedback. I'm okay with a citrus flavor to it, but I don't...

I brewed a Russian Imperial Stout, used 24# of grain, 1# oats and 1# DME. The OG was 1.108, then 3 weeks later I racked it to a carboy for aging. I got an FG of ~1.035, maybe 1.036 (I wanted it to be lower so I probably biased it lower :P). I mashed at 150 for over an hour, so the wort...

I brewed a Russian Imperial Stout yesterday, and I want to use oak cubes in it. I brewed this a good 7 months ago and used oak chips for 10 days or so, and I found it to be too astringent--it definitely mellowed out with a few months time and tasted absolutely delicious, but I'm trying again...

I brewed a tripel on the 18th of last month (~18 days ago), with wyeast 1214, with an OG of 1.10. I measured the gravity last night, 1.014. :drunk: The yeast flocculated a while ago, probably 5-7 days, and the wort is fairly clear. I'm using a fastferment, and there is significantly less...

I'm about to do my second all grain brew. My first attempt left me with a brewhouse efficiency of 54%, with 19.5 lbs of grain (1.077 og). I mashed with 6.5 gal at 150 for 60 min and did a single batch sparge with 3.75 gal. My next AG recipe calls for 17.25 lbs of grain, which, at a 1.3 qt/lb...

So I brewed an imperial russian stout ~3 weeks ago. I found an all grain recipe, and converted it to an extract/partial mash recipe. The OG came out to 1.098, and right now its stuck at 1.030. There hasn't been any activity in the past week, and its clear. I used: 10 lbs light DME (instead of...
