Want to try and clone Sierra Nevada's Powder Day IPA. They give a decent amount of info to guess the grain bill within reason, but I'm clueless as to how or where to start guessing their hop schedule. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'm going to be using gelatin for the first time, and kegging for the first time using a carbonation lid like the one filmed here. So far my beer has been kegged and sitting at 40F under 5PSI for 24 hours or so. Should I add the gelatin mixture and carbonate with the lid at the same time or...

So I recently bought four used ball locks and I’ve stripped them all down to notice that some have springs as shown on the left and some on the right. New to kegging so my error in not paying mind to which came from gas/liquid. Are these just two different styles or are they intended for one...

So Ive read through a few threads on here from people wanting to simply drop dry ice in their wort. I have a slightly different idea and need some constructive criticism. Mix 2 gallons of ethanol with 2 lbs of dry ice. That mixture would rest in a ss kettle that would then be used like a...

Usage in general, across the board for both beginner and advanced brewers in any application which is the overall winner. Im sure there are advantages and disadvantages to each considering different uses. But generalize for me. Thanks in advance!

Im wondering why this hasn't been used yet. My thought is that while your mashing there is a sparge that uses an RMS application. Is the reason because of consistent mash temperature? And if so, in a perfect world that could be taken care of would there be another issue? Thanks in advance yall!

I plan on making a HERMS system here soon, and as I've studied different designs Im finding it difficult to reach a final decision on how I build it. If I want to have a separate vessel strictly for the Hex etc. I want to find a nice balance between effectiveness and simplicity. I know that...

I intend on designed a BIAB set up and have looked around quite a bit. One of the things that had caught my eye was the "brew in a basket" method, which I really enjoyed in theory. And this is where I need yall... what are some, if any, of the disadvantages to this? Along with that I could...

I really don't want to open it up to check if SG is moving. The only reason I think I may have a stalling beer is because it hasn't been bubbling, like at all. Its in week two so thats not a huge shocker I guess, and I may be comparing it to a double IPA I have sitting next to it. It's also...

Total cost $18

I have everything I need but I haven't figured out if I can use these dc adapters or not. And the only other thing Im concerned about is the colors of the wires on my computer fan, they are all the same. Heres a link to that...

And now I have absolutely no idea what my efficiency was, I was using BIAB and I decided to sparge and double crush the grains just to really boost the efficiency I now don't get to figure out. Gotta love the learning curve...

I've never used an S Style air lock before so just wanted to make sure.

I did my first BIAB batch yesterday, and I had seen this issue coming but wasn't sure how to solve it. I scaled down a 5 gallon recipe to 3 gallons but I have left over hop pellets. I put then in a zip lock and got as much air out as possible then threw them in the freezer. Will they be ok to...

So I check on my beer routinely, mainly just to make sure the air lock is nice and snug, and to admire of course. Well this morning I awake to this white **** all over the inside of my carboy! Is this an infection? Normal? No clue just some jizz? I mean cmon. Anyways, thanks for any advice...

So I plan on brewing my first BIAB batch in the next two weeks or so. And I have been reading up on it pretty avidly so that I know all of the bases I need to cover for an AG brew. Everything seems fairly straight forward, but I do want to alter a few things when it comes to equipment to...

I live in San Marcos, Tx. I looked for a brew club and the closest are in Austin and San Antonio (for those who don't live in Tx its a 45 minute-ish drive either way). Yes, it isn't a crazy distance, but Im looking for people in town that would like to share some beers or brew together. There...
