So I made a dumb move. I put my 60 min hops at the start of a 90 min boil. Should I just do a 60 min boil or run the entire 90 min? I used .60 oz of German Magnum at 15.2 AAU.

So I have everything set up and was doing a once over everything before I put the beer in the kegs and start carbing it. I have 5 feet of 3/16 tubing for serving I was going to serve at about 38 to 40 degrees and don't plan on serving beer with carbonation greater then 2.5. Do I need longer...

This rant is a long time coming!!! Why do people bring huge bags on to airplanes? My wife and I bring a back pack and a SMALL duffle bag on to the plane. The rest of my wife's garbage goes into the belly of the plane. I pay like 600.00-800.00 to ride an airplane to go do something. However...

Hello all, I am brewing a honey ale tomorrow, and will be making a starter of california ale v tonight. I was wondering if anyone has mixed the two yeast together? I am thinking that my starter of wlp051 will not have enough time to get a good cell count, and since I had an extra vial of...

Hello all, So all my plants are doing great. My Chinook has an amazing amount of buds, but the four growth tips have stopped growing and have turned into hop buds. Anyone ever run into this, and is there away to prevent it in the future. TIA:tank:

So it has been 8 days since I started my Helles Bock. I am going to do a D rest regardless if there is a butter after taste. Most posts indicate that it can't hurt to do one, so I will go ahead and do it. There is still a considerable amount of foamy primary fermentation goodness at the top...
