http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/03/10/san-franciscos-speakeasy-brewery-shuts-down-operations/ I am curious (other than the obvious reasons), how can a brewery that has been open for 20 years be in debt (and have issues securing investors)? Does anyone have the inside scoop on what's going on at...

Unless you're in CA, most have probably never heard of Alvarado street brewing (Monterey, CA). My gf and I went a couple of months ago (she really only likes sours). I ordered her a 'Haole Punch', she loved it and it was the best Berliner Ive ever had! Lots of tropical notes paired very well...

https://flic.kr/p/RzUkQThttps://flic.kr/p/RzUkQT Hopefully you can see the murky stuff in the beer. Anyone know what this is? I've brewed 4 sours and they all have this stuff in it. I'd prefer it not be in there, but I guess I should figure out what it is first? Any help? I need to go...

Is this new? Someone brought me a bottle of duvel at work today. I've never had it. Go to their site to read up on it and I see this: http://www.duvel.com/en-us/news/welcome-firestone-walker-duvel-moortgat-family It's not dated, so I don't know if it's recent or not? I didn't see anything...

I brewed this recipe this last sunday: http://www.themadfermentationist.com/2012/09/rumble-barrel-belgian-strong-dark-recipe.html?m=1 (I got a 1.071 og, my first big beer.) I'd like to get my rum bought and soaked in the cubes this weekend (not too early is it?).* I don't drink rum and don't...

So, i am brewing my first Belgian strong this weekend with candi syrup (recipe: http://www.themadfermentationist.com/2012/09/rumble-barrel-belgian-strong-dark-recipe.html). I bought two packs of wlp530 and its currently sitting in a 2L starter. I plan to use oak cubes and soak them in rum; if...

Long story short, I ordered 5 from my LHBS. Well, there are five labeled, but only four total. The guy gave them to me since he said they'll just get throw away if they stay at the store. I will not plant them if I cannot be 100% sure if they are. The guy also mentioned the one labeled...

Some quick info about my rhizomes: I have 5 different variety rhizomes that are in their second year. I have 5 more on order for this year. I understand people are busy, there is a growing demand for rhizomes, etc but why is it so flipping hard for me to get concrete dates for when my stuff...

Brewed my first 100% brett beer yesterday (pale). Wlp645. I pitched the yeast slightly more than 24 hours ago and am getting a ridiculous amount of activity. Somewhat comparable to the San Diego Super I used a couple of months ago. I remember reading that brett is a 'slow mover', multiple...

okay, I have been reading up plenty about diecetyl and the diecetyl rest. it seems easy enough, just turn my fridge off (I have a dedicated mini fridge for fementation), and wait a couple of days before cold crash/lagering. but I started thinking, why? why would you purposely try to create...

i made a thread on the wild brewing section and didnt get any help, so i am trying here. made a 1L starter on 2/12 with wlp645, i was planning on brewing on 2/15 (tomorrow). although i read right after i made the starter that brett starters need 7-8 days...? I am curious if i should wait...

So, I made a starter yesterday with some wlp645 (2/12). I was planning on brewing on 2/15, although I did some reading earlier and found out that brett starters should be given atleast a week? So, should I wait until next weekend to brew (2/20-21)? My target OG is 1.050. Not sure if it...

I searched this site and was going to ask my question in another wlp 566 thread, but none of them seemed appropriate to ask in. So, sorry for making another thread. Made my first saison this weekend (good lord was she trubby as all hell). came out at 1.057 with my leaky ball valve (another...

Long story short, I bought the refurbished 1 keg kit w/ regulator from Northern brewer a while ago. I finally filled it up with beer yesterday. I just checked it and it's now leaking out beer at the base of the gas in post. I thought I remember reading the keg was pressure checked prior to...

I know some people think mash hopping doesn't work (or is a waste of hops), but I've decided I want to try it. So please don't tell me not to do it, I've already bought the hops! Anywho. Mash hopping: I've searched and I only found one resource online that tells me I need to add specifically...

So, i tried to copy over and what a mess, so please just use this link: http://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/146797/fireside-chat-clone Below is what my LBS doesnt have, the substitutions are in parenthesis. Bonlander Munich 10L ---------------------> (Munich Malt (Weyerman...

Does anyone have an AG recipe? Something similar? Not usually a fan of the style, had one earier and loved it! I searched and did not see anything.

So, I want more body in my home brew. From what i have been reading, it seems like there are two big factors at play here: grains used and the FG. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but that is what I took from everything I could find on google. (yes I used google) Now, I can modify some...

So, against my better judgement, i brewed a sour this weekend (8/1). I had some spare 1 gallon fermentors, so i figured why not. Here is the recipe i used: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=538614 (my OG is 1.053, mashed at 152, now sitting at room temp; 74F) I didnt see a...

So, I have brewed a total of 5 batches so far (all 5 gallon recipes). Every single batch i have brewed, i for the life of me, cannot get the correct (or even close) OG. Its always low, the closest i have gotten is 5-6 points low. I think its my mash tun setup. Example, i brewed an ipa last...
