Hi everyone, I haven't brewed in some time due to work and such, but I'm finally getting back in to it. Brewed a low abv saison a couple days ago and a porter about a month back. Anyhow, I am looking to brew up a five gallon batch of an amber ale that is full of tropical fruit goodness...

After finally feeling like I'm settled in my new apartment enough to really move past extract/steeped grain brewing and on to some partial mash brewing. I'm gonna follow DeathBrewer's stovetop partial mash method as it seems like a great way to make the jump. Having never made a saison...

New to kegging and I just got my 5lb co2 tank filled and hooked it up to my regulator. The high pressure gauge reads 900 psi. When I go to adjust my low pressure gauges with the pressure control knobs nothing happens. Nothing. The gauges stay at 0 psi. No leaks either. I tried with it...

Hi. I'm in need of some homebrewers help but not in the normal brewing way. FIrst, let me explain what I'm doing: I'm in the Navy and I was stationed in Japan for the last three years. I'm currently going through some advanced training at the Defense Information School at Fort Meade, Md. I'm...

I kegged my version of Orfy's Mild Mannered Ale in mini-kegs last week and am curious how it's progressing- so I think I need a taste... But, say it's not quite right yet, how well/long would it last before going bad (or, would it go bad?) if I hooked up the tap with a co2 cartridge attached...

I'm gearing up to brew an IPA recipe and my final hop addition is at flame out. I realized this afternoon while I was bored at work that I had never done up a beer that called for a hop addition at that point. What seems like a no brainer is really perplexing to me. So, I add the hops when I...

I have a stout in it's second week in the primary (I decided to go without the secondary after reading a bunch about the +/- on HBT to see if I find much of a difference) and it has been around 73 degrees since I pitched the yeast. I was planning on kegging it in another two weeks but...

So I just brewed an Oatmeal Milk Stout and was pretty stoked when I tasted the wort prior to dumping it into the primary. Anyhow, my question is this: I used Wyeast London Ale yeast that came in the Activator pack but I think it went bad before I got it because it didn't swell up all that much...

I'll be moving to tokyo sometime mid january and i was curious about the beer and homebrew scene over there. has anyone been there recently? does anyone know anything about there laws governing homebrewing? is it popular over there? any info is apreciated. Im hoping that once i settle in i...

Well i finsihed basic training about two weeks ago and the Navy shipped me out to maryland to go though six months of schooling before they figure out what to do with me next. Unfortunatly since im not married i get to live on base in a room a little smaller than my freshman year dorm room...

I dont know how much ive really contributed to this forum in the last month and a half or so but I sure have learned a bunch. I've only brewed three times so far and each is getting better in no small part to this forum. Sadly I won't be able to brew for a while as come monday I'm leaving for...

So I plan on brewing the samuel smiths nut brown clone tomorrow. It calls for either wyeast 1187, or wyeast 1084. My HBS doesnt carry wyeast, they only have white labs so i picked up white labs british ale wlf-005 (or is it wlp-005? my label is smudged) and am wondering if it is a suitable...

I hadnt planned on making labels for my beers since it was just me and a selct few others that were going to drink it, but this forum got my creative juices flowing. Brewed a Porter the other day, straight forward and nothing special but i plan on tweaking it and eventually getting something i...

So im standing in my kitchen trying to figure out how to crush my grains and i thought maybe use my coffee bean grinder. Anyone else use this? if not that what else should i use? Rolling Pin?

I was at my local homebrew shop putting together a recipe which called for a certain amount of liquid extract. The guy who was helping me said that since it was an odd amount that i would be better off with one can of liquid, and then a bag of dried. I didn't really think about this till now...

Just wanted to say hello. Im brand new to brewing having only just finished my first brew, and American IPA that turned out drinkable...but thats about it. You can rest assured I am going to be asking plenty of questions.:cross:
