I’m going from making 5 gallon batches to 10 gallon batches. I purchased a custom Spike 20 gallon kettle. My concern is that my current mash tun will no longer be sufficient as it is only a 10 gallon vessel, especially when brewing big beers. For those of you that have made this leap what did...

I brewed an 5 gallon Imperial Stout batch about 3 weeks ago and transferred it to the secondary last night. I added 1 "Medium Char" oak spiral that I let soak in some Woodford Reserve for about a month. I have no experience using oak and most of the info I find is pertaining to oak chips. What...

I've been brewing for just a few months now and I like to improve something with each brew, whether it's adding equipment or tweaking my process. Water treatment/quality control has been something I've always thought about, but never explored. Currently I'm using filtered water from my...

I brewed a batch on Sunday and had a malfunction with a Wyeast SmackPack. It didn't swell as much as usual, but we pitched it anyway. When I looked in the pack one of the pouches with brown liquid never burst. I cut it open and poured that into the fermenter. I checked on it yesterday morning...

Yesterday was my 3rd time brewing. Everything went well until we had to cool the wort after the boil. We used an immersion cooler in the tub with an aquarium pump and 30 lbs of ice in my tub. All the ice melted before we even got down below 100 degrees. I had to pick up 30 lbs more of ice to get...
