Looking for advice on a dry hop schedule for a pale ale that just finished with primary fermentation. It's a Columbus, Cascade, Amarillo pale at about 30 IBUs. SG of 1.052 and finished at 1.009 with WLP051. I'll be kegging and serving it at an event on the 15th of September, so I have a little...

Just finished fermenting two 5 gallon batches of cider (store bought AJ only), one with S-04 and the other with Nottingham. I picked up a bottle of Tart Montmorency Cherry Juice Concentrate and I'm trying to decide on how much to add. I saw a post on here a few years back where someone cloned B...

Hey all, just wanted to get a few opinions/some feedback. I plugged the same grain bill, water additions, mash and sparge volumes (BrewCipher is slightly different), and starting water profile (100% RO/Distilled) into Bru'n Water/EZ Water/BrewCipher. The estimated Ca/Mg/Na/SO4/Cl concentrations...

Signs of infection or CO2 suspending yeast rafts? RIS at 20 days since pitching 1.5L starter. Edit: WLP001, really mild fermentation, first beer that I haven't observed visual activity in airlock.

My CO2 line running from regulator to the manifold is coated with a white covering inside. I can't tell if it's a degradation of the actual line itself, or a substance that is coating the inside of the line. Originally I assumed some moisture made its way into the line, and it frosted up in the...

I'm sure a lot of us are gonna be hanging out by water of some sort and getting the grill fired up this weekend, so what are your go-to choice beverages for a Memorial Day in the sun cooking up some good food with friends and family? :mug:

Finished up a black IPA a month ago. The longest I usually ferment in primary is 2 weeks before cold crashing. This time, I left the beer in primary for a month. Temp fluctuation was between 60 and 74 over the course of the whole month, but the first week of fermentation took place around 62. I...

I'm curious if anyone has gotten their refractometer directly from China using a site like AliExpress? I've ordered quite a few items via AliExpress before, and have always been satisfied (ignoring the expected 2 weeks+ delivery time). Most of the Refractometers listed on Ali are Brix only, but...

Hey guys, I originally posted this over in DIY/Build, but I started thinking maybe this is the more appropriate place for it. If not, I'll be happy to delete this thread. I'm in the transition to AG, and I'm attempting to build a MLT using this 48qt Coleman cooler. I already have a 1/2" NPT...

Hey guys, I'm in the transition to AG, and I'm attempting to build a MLT using this 48qt Coleman cooler. I already have a 1/2" NPT bazooka screen I'm planning on using inside the cooler to separate the wort from the grain, but I'm looking for the easiest way to complete the build. I was...

This thing is a work of art. Extremely heavy duty. Welds are perfect and the etching looks great. Can't wait to fire up a batch this weekend.

Tired of doing partial boils for 5 gallon batches and have been looking to upgrade my kettle. I recently ran across this listing on ebay and the prices seem way too good to be true. Comes with ball valve and thermometer for that price listed. Thoughts? Does anyone have one of these kettles...

Any fellow brewers in the Asheville, NC area or WNC in general have a recommended spot to get their tanks filled? I have a 7lb tank, so I would most likely not be able to swap. Thanks in advance!

Hey guys! So I've been bottling for a while, and I'm getting ready to start kegging before the end of the year. I've been looking at chest freezers for a keezer build. Craigslist listings in my area for used freezers have been pretty sparse over the last couple of months, and honestly pretty...

Just bottled a brew last week and had a slight trickle at the spigot of the bottling bucket. I'm thinking that a good solution would be to wrap the threads and inside of the nut with plumber's tape, but I'm wondering if this would cause any issues. I can't imagine it would be enough to cause any...

Local brewery here in Asheville, NC

Hey guys! This is my first here, but I'm a long time lurker. Please forgive me if this belongs in Recipes/Ingredients or Extract instead. I'm starting out with Extract brewing and I've learned a ton. Have had two great batches (an IPA and an ESB) so far thanks in no small part to the great...
