I'm relatively new to kegging, but haven't had any issues thus far (*knock on wood). I was curious if I would be able to sanitize a couple of kegs days prior to actually filling them. My thought is that if I sanitize them, run off all liquid through the line, and keep the keg filled with CO2...

I've been tinkering with this recipe, and it will be my first SMaSH and my first use of Citra hops. I already have 5 oz of Citra pellets (14.5%AA), so I figured I would utilize them all! 13lb Briess Pale Ale Malt 0.5oz Citra [FWH] 0.25oz Citra [:60] 0.25oz Citra [:55] 0.25oz Citra...

Ok, I apologize up front for asking, what I think is, a newb question...but here's the low down. I'm in my ~30 batch of homebrew, but only around my 3 batch of cider. The other ciders I've done have been "normal" (i.e. EdWort's Apfelwein) and they've been excellent. However, I wanted to "kick...

Today marks 10 days in the primary. I check SG two days ago and it had already reached my FG estimation (1.017) but there was still a thick krausen present. From day 2-present there has been (and continues to be) vigorous activity, enough for me to switch out my 3-piece to a blowoff (on day...

I've completed the Ed Worts Apfelwein, and am currently enjoying the successes of that. Also I am finishing up 2 1-gallon test batches, both being variations of the Ed Worts recipe. The first being the recipe with 1.5lb brown sugar instead of the dextrose. The second being the recipe with...

I am looking for to brew a weizenbock. I really enjoy the Weihenstephaner Vitus (as do many others), and I am looking for a recipe that goes in that particular direction (not necessarily a clone). I am currently in my 5th batch, only extract brews with specialty grains, and I'm looking for a...
