Ok, so i tried making a really hoppy IPA in a 2 gallon batch, turned out really well i think. I drank it all a while back, and now i'm going to do a bigger batch. This was actually one of my all time favorite home brews, and actually one of my favorite beers overall. Hope it turns out just as...

I have an IPA that i'm REALLY happy with, and it's still green as hell. I want to send some off to one of those judging or competition's that they do, but i don't know anything about them. How much do you have to send to them (it was a small batch, so i only have about 12 22oz's after drinking a...

Brewed an imperial stout over 3 weeks ago. 1.125 OG, 6 gallons with a blow off. The thing went absolutely nuts for about 6 days, filled a 12oz glass that i was using for a blow off and then about 2" of a 1 gallon pot that i set the glass in. It's been over 3 weeks now and it's still active. The...

Well we did. Out of the 3 of me and my friends that brew, i have one buddie who is more concerned with trying new crazy things than he is about drinking good beer. Needless to say, we do some weird stuff to apease his appatite sometimes. This was an IPA, with extracts amoung other things, that...

This is what i'm thinking of doing on monday. First big big all grain. Dark lord day is comming up and i didn't get a stupid ticket (who's idea was that anyways) so for the first time in 3 years i can't go buy a darklord. So i figured i'd make my own. For what it's worth, this isn't meant to be...

Ok, so we have a few kegs left over from partying back in the day. Figured we'd get some good use out of them. I had a rubber one that i thought would be completely worthless. But i found a use for it. Cut the normal hole in the top, put a spigot in it, and went to town. This is her in...

nevermind, figured it out. DELETE :off::ban::tank:

What should i use them on? I have some, haven't really found any great recipes that call for them. I was thinking of making something a little lighter. i was thinking some thing like an American lager? Would that work out good? something such as 7lb 2 row 1lb c10 2.5lb maze .5lb...

When doing a Decoction mash. Does it hurt your efficiency or help it? I saw someone post something about it helping their efficiency, but i would assume it would hurt it. This is because i assume that when you boil the wort, you kill whatever enzymes are in that portion of the wort. I know...

Hey guys, noob here. :cross: I had a few people help me out a while back on my efficiency of brewing, and i was working at around 50-60% efficiency :-( Anyways, i know that 1/2 the problem was using a food processor or a coffee grinder for grain "crushing", and the other half was my lack...

I made a few batches last night. Very new to all grain. I made the first, with about 15.5# of grain. Got about 4.5 gallons of wort out of it, and ended up boiling to 4 gallons, then added water and got a SG of 1.052. Thought that was normal (used to partial mash with some extracts) Then...

I'm an amature brewer, just stepping into my allgrain days. I made a post about my last few beers, and just wanted to say hi to everyone! https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/new-forum-made-2-ags-week-95605/

How's it going. I've been poking around a bit on this forum, basically just to search things i had questions about, but was not signed up until today. My name is Brett. Me and two of my friends have been brewing since last February. We started with a single extract brew (which was SICK :drunk:)...
