I want to make a DIPA using Magnum, Amarillo, Citra, and Mosaic hops. I have the malt bill decided, but I'm struggling with how I should add these hops. I plan to do a 90 min. boil, and Magnum will definitely be my first bittering addition. Overall, I'd like to use around 6 oz. in the boil, and...

My dad just started making his own wine. I'd like to get him a Christmas gift that is related to wine making and thought you guys could give me some ideas. So, what is a good gift for someone new to wine making?

Thought I'd share this. It is a clone recipe of a Stone beer, but the local brew shop didn't have all of the hops the recipe called for. I did get comparable hops and did the AA conversions so it should be close- but the recipe has been tweaked. I noted what changes were made if you want to...

This Sunday I'm going to brew a bitter chocolate oatmeal stout. It's a clone of the Stone stout. Seems like a really interesting beer and should be a big, big beer. Final abv should be 9-10% and the recipe called for 20 lbs. of grain. I know this question is probably asked a lot, so I've...

Hi Guys, I've done four brews, all on my stove top. They've turned out good, especially the last two. But, controlling the mash temp has been a challenge to do on the stove top with a gas burner. I have to stand over the wort the entire mash time, and no matter how much attention I pay, it's...

I'm a complete newb here...this is only my second time brewing. I used a kit that had some specialty grains, dry extract and liquid extract. This is my first attempt at a stout (first brew was an IPA). Just wondering if some more experienced brewers could lend their two cents. How long would...

My first attempt at a home brew is in process. It's been in the fermentor since Monday night- so this is day 4. It was an extract kit, to make an IPA. I did a 90 minute boil as opposed to the 60 minute the instructions called for. It also had some grains I steepd at 165 degrees for 20 minutes...

I'm making my first home brew as we speak. It's been fermenting for about 16 hours now. The airlock is bubbling steady, and everything looks okay, but there is a thick layer of yeast or something on the bottom of the carboy. It makes sense that the yeast would collect on the bottom, but this...

I'm looking for home bar plans so I can build a place to enjoy my home brews. Has anyone ever built their own bar? Do you have suggestions/ plans etc... I just want a straight bar, approx. 8 feet long.

Hey guys, just thought I'd say a quick hello to introduce myself. I'm new to the boards and new to home brewing (actually haven't even attempted my first brew yet). Look forward to getting to know you guys and gals.:mug: Eric
