So, Ive had a few and just felt like posting with my fellow brewers...Ive had Southern Tier's Warlock and Pumking Ale...Both are very good...in small doses. At first bottle, I wanted to try to reproduce Pumking so I boiled up a batch...I made a base recipe from Northern Brewers Smashing...

I was going through some hop profiles for my brew this week. I am making a scottish wee heavy. The recipe calls for Norther Brew hops and I have Centennial. The hops are only for a 60 min boil and the profile on How to Brew by Palmer show below: Name: Centennial Profile: Spicy, floral...

So I made my first lager (started about 2 months ago) and kegged it yesterday. I pulled a taster to see just how it turned it and well...it seems a little bland. Its a preprohibition style so the hops additions were pretty heavy. It has the bitterness but flavor just doesnt seem to be coming...

I was planning on making a standard IPA this week and did my mashing yesterday evening. But, I didn't get to it until this afternoon to finish the process. It started fermenting and smelled pretty funky. I know that wild yeasts have been used before in ales so I figured...well, I just boil...

What would you say this beer would taste like? All Grain 9lbs Belgian Pils 1oz Tradition at 60 .5oz Saaz at 60 .5oz Saaz at 10 Yeast: Wyeast American Ale ferm at 72 degrees.

I just finished a batch of cream ale from NB. The taste is really great but it has a distinct butterscotch smell. Is this a sign of green beer or should I expect something that hasn't come down to the flavor yet? I used honey malt, biscuit malt and 2 row. American Ale Yeast (harvested and washed)

Has anyone noticed any off flavors with their beer if you had the auto siphon sucking air from transfer to secondary? I couldnt get a good flow. I clamped it, with my hand, where the cane connects to the tube but I still had some guzzling.

How long would runnings last before being boiled if stored in a refrigerator? I would assume that it would last like any other sweetened "beverage" since it is simply sugars and water. I think a few days wouldn't hurt, however, I don't know all of the chemistry and what storing it for a few days...

I dont have an extra fridge to carb so Im carbing at 72 degrees at 31 psi. I let my beer carb for 2 weeks and I want to draw into a growler to refrigerate and drink after a few hours. I relieved the pressure and set to 2-3 psi, my liquid line fills with foam, then looks like its drawing...

I did a search in the recipe database for Belgian Table Beers and was able to find one by ryane. Does anyone else out there have any Belgian Table Beer recipes for AG or know where I can find them? I'm looking for both dark and light styles. Thanks! Mario

A few years ago I started brewing partial mashes with decent success. I ended up moving around for 2 years and never had the right setup for brewing. I lived apartment to apartment where there were some heavy fines for ruining carpet and starting fires... Anyways, after finally settling down...

For those with web development experience. I am making a website for a small video recording "entity". Its not a business or a charity...I make documentaries as a hobby.I just got started and to continue to do this, I need money... not a ton but enough to help me pay for travel and...

Im sure this question might have been asked before but i cant find it. What beer styles fit best with fresh spring water? My family just rediscovered a well that links to Edwards aquifer here in Texas that was used by travelers in the early 1800s for wagon trails. But anyways what might this...

All, I have an idea of opening a bar that serves strictly beer. My focus is going to be on serving the top national and international brews. I understand this will be expensive but my question to you, the community, is how exactly do I procure the beer? My guess is a distributor but what...

Ive been looking for a legit way to watch tv on my computer. So far I have had no luck finding something that could provide it. So, I turn to you, my fellow brewers, for any tips on how to accomplish this. My hardware: Gateway GT5670 What do I need to purchase?

I found this recipe and it looks good to me: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=14860&highlight=secondary+temps Would it be okay to leave it sitting in the carboy for 3 months? I'm not sure if autolysis would be a major problem for this period of time.

Ok, so I left my ale because of an emergency...gone for a week and really didn't want to. When I got back the fermentation temp was at 78 and OMG would be a good response. I thought, oh well and left it alone and thought maybe it will still turn out ok and drinkable. Well, to no surprise, its...

So I was looking through a magazine(Zymurgy) and saw an ad for brewing education. The program is conducted by the American Brewer's Guild and is five weeks long. Has anyone done anything similar? Does it help at all or is it a novel type of thing? I thought about doing it?

Im preparing to move to Boston and will hopefully begin making my first lager up there. How do you all lager outside during the winter? How do you keep if from freezing and protect from extreme temp fluctuations? Im excited to brew my first lager...any recommendations as to what kind to brew also?
