I recently tried to brew a hazy IPA, but due to a couple things that didn't quite go right (i.e. being sloppy with mash temps, cooling) there are a few off-flavors in the beer and it tastes pretty strongly like grapefruit juice. Someone suggested adding orange juice to the beer. I tried a 1:4...

Today I did my first brew on the Brewzilla and I'm trying to figure out if I had logistical issues or if something weird happened during the boil. At the end of the mash, when I tested the gravity, it came in at 1.065 @ 80F, after recirculating the wort with the pump for about ten minutes...

Recently, I've been trying to get more bang for my buck on brew day by (trying to) make small beer out of the last runnings of the mash. This works especially well with a larger beer or after 10 gallon batches, where there's a little extra sugar in the mash that may be harder for a hasty brewer...

Ok -- not a quiz, I'm actually just trying to figure out how to profile the beer that I'm "likely" going to brew this evening. 5 gal 10 lbs 2-row 3.5 lbs crystal (75) 2.5 lbs wheat Galaxy hops S-33 yeast? I've also got SA-04. How I hop this and what yeast I use will depend on what it...

Ok -- so I wanted to try brewing pilsner, but my local homebrew supply shop is having trouble getting yeast for any kind of lager or pilsner, so I'm looking to improvise. I'd like to make something like a Belgian blond ale, but with a pretty high wheat content (say, 30%?), and since I've got a...

So I was getting ready to brew a large batch of IPA for the summer when we discovered that my wife is pregnant. Since she's my main drinking buddy, I now need to modify my plans and am trying to figure out how to brew a low-alcohol beer (definitely <3%, preferably under 2.5%, or even close to...

I'm trying the following recipe tomorrow for my first stab at 10 gallon brewing. Going for an American IPA...-ish. It's going to be on the darker side, west coast, rather than east coast. I decided to add the wheat because I like good mouth-feel in beers... I may have overdone it a bit. 16...

I'm in my first six months of brewing all grain and tried to tackle a step mash for the first time a couple days ago, making hefeweizen. It didn't go as planned, I ended up at too low of a temp, and I tried to jerry-rig a solution to activate the alpha amylase: I'd like to know whether people...
