Ok so this beer was to be a hop monster! But at the first dry hop it said to add in pineapple concentrate. I couldn't find any at all so I added in crushed pineapple after talking to my buddy. What I should have thought about was to put it into a hop sock. But no what could go wrong with just...

I think I messed up the Hefe recipe I was using. I put it into WORT app on my phone and it had the OG too low as it was calling for 7.5lbs of LME and LME is only available near me in 3.3lbs batches, so i did 6.6lbs of LME and added 2 lbs of DME. The recipe called for replacing all grains with...

So I've gotten a hop bag to put into my primary for tonight. It's a cloth bag by the looks of it. Do I spray it down with starsan before putting it into the fermenter and then let it dry out?

My first ever brew was a BB IPA extract recipe kit. I followed the instructions very closely and only made one deviation which was to split the extract, 50% at the start and 50% in the last 20 minutes. I siphoned wort out and left the trub behind and honestly too much. (I have since changed to...

I figured I would just post so I can feel like I'm participating in the forum. I was given a kit for my birthday with a brewers best IPA recipe. So with my love of beer I jumped right in and brewed it while barely reading up on brewing at all so i thought it would be good to share my mistakes...

So I did my first ever bottling of my second batch, (my first is an IPA still in the fermenter) the blonde centennial extract recipe. I had just over 5 Gals and I added 4 oz of priming sugar. I had boiled this in 2 cups of water and added 2/3 to the bottling bucket to start and the last 1/3...
