We brew using BIAB and fill the bags before putting them into the water (I have recently discovered that this is not how most people do it, but that's not the point at the moment). This means we get some "beer flour" coming through the bags and onto the work surface. We collect this and get...

And Union: Modernist Bavarian Beer are one of my father-in-law's favourite breweries at the moment. He is visiting from the UK later in the year (pandemic permitting) and I thought I'd try to brew something of a similar style. However, I've never tasted any and their website, and the web more...

I have a few recipes that I like that use 1oz of Fuggle or EKG at 60mins as the bittering hop. How much difference would it make to use 0.25oz of Hallertau Magnum (or whatever the appropriate weight is to get the same alpha acid)? The advantages aren't huge---I'd save a couple of dollars per 5...

Any leads on such a thing? Anyone brewed one? My recent successes have been British styles (usually 4% ABV, +/- 1; mild, best,...) and an American rye that I really loved. So I figured, why not do both at once? Taking a recent successful Best Bitter and subbing in 2lb of malted rye for the...

Before I next go to the LHBS, it looks like I'll have a window to make a 3 gallon batch with what I have on hand. The problem is that it isn't much: 3lb golden DME (could go up to 4, maybe 4.5, by tweaking a big stout downwards a little), 1oz each of ekuanot, cascade and amarillo, 0.33oz of...

I have started pitching yeast from one brew onto the next. I'm not doing anything complicated: once a week I brew a new beer, transfer the last one to a secondary and pitch the dregs into the new beer (that's the plan anyway, I've now done this once). I am planning three beers with this...

Perhaps foolishly, I'm attempting to develop a process for a five gallon all-grain on my kitchen stove. I've (mostly) successfully done a 3 gallon all-grain and and "mostly grain, almost full-boil" partial mash for a 5 gallon batch. Today I attempted my first full go, brewing the Centennial...

I'd like to brew something along the lines of Little Wolf, an American Pale from Zero Gravity. Facts from their website: ABV: 4.7 IBU: 40 OG: 1.052/1.053 Appearance: Deep Gold/Pale Amber Malts: Pale, Munich II, Oats, Pale Crystal Hops: Horizon, Citra, Cascade, Mosaic Yeast: house Here's my...

Hello HBT. I'm getting back into brewing after a break of about 5 years. Previously I did mostly extract brews with an occasional partial mash, but I'm now partial mashing and on the verge of all-grain. I've learned a lot from reading here in the last month or so and figured it was time to...
