When scaling a recipe for lower mash efficiency than called for in a recipe do I just increase base malts and leave the specialty malts the same or do I increase specialty malts as well? It seems to me that if I increase the specialty malts to keep the percentage of specialty malts that the...

The sample pulled from the primary of my Belgian Tripel that I based on a Golden Monkey Clone is a little more bitter than anticipated. I added 3oz Horizon Pellets at 60 mins in 11 gallon batch, 1.080 OG 1.010 FG. I'm thinking of now making this a Tripel IPA by dry hopping. I used 3oz French...

I've always used Pacmac for my IIPA (10+ batches) and get very clear beer every time; I always bottle condition. I haven't been able to find Pacmac so I've now switched to 1056. The first and only other time I used 1056 the beer was very murky; the yeast is the only valiable in this equation...

I would like to collect 14gal of wort. After mashing I have collected 7gal, am I correct in thinking that 7gal of sparge water will get me to 14gal total?

I searched the forum for this, no hits.

Label says bottled in 2007. WTF?

I tried my first original recipe to enter a local homebrew competition and I forgot to throw in the Irish moss. Will it make a huge difference? If I use geletin in the secondary should I pitch new yeast to bottle condition and what kind? New Kettle American Pale Ale: 11# 2-Row Pale ale...

New to homebrewing and hop growing. First year harvest is not good, as I had expected. Cascade, centenial, Mt. Hood, Northern Brewer and sterling. I would like to throw what little I have into an IPA. Any suggestions; during mash, FWH, at flameout and should I adjust the grain bill.

Are there any drawbacks from mashing at night, leave it in the mash tun (10 gallon cooler mash tun) overnight then sparge in the morning? I'm attempting to brew 3-5 gallon all grain batches in 1 day. Kids' skating lesson screws with my timing.

I'm planning my brew schedule and thinking about the Forth of July. I'd like to share my new hobby for the neighbor's bash, 2 all-grain 5-gallon batches. The weather around here for the 4th is usually 90's, sunny and wicked humid. Any suggestions?

My wort hasn't boiled down to the correct volume. If I keep boiling, my hops will have boiled too long. If I stop, my gravity will be off. What do I do? Another nervous noob

My wife, GOD love her, bought me a BeerTender for my new hobby. I don't have the heart to tell her I can't use it. Has anyone tried these with homebrew?

Is there any software that will build a recipe in reverse?

Just tried my very first batch of home brew, Atlantic Amber clone. Partial extract. 2 weeks in the primary, 4 weeks in the secondary, 3 weeks in the bottle. Wyeast 2112. Stored the entired time around 72 degrees. Tastes great, alcohol content seems low and almost flat. As this was my first...

I'm an extract brewer looking to move to all grain. Are there any COMPLETE home breweries for less than a grand? I don't have the time or patience to make the stuff I've seen online.

Is there any detriment or benefit to adding additional dme to the second ferment?
