So....I was lagering my vienna. All seemed to be going fine for the first 6 weeks. My plan was to lager it for 8 weeks. I went out of town last week for work and came home this morning to find my lager was a 5 gallon popsicle. I know why it froze, the 60 watt light bulb couldn't keep up with...

I have finally decided that I should start treating my yeast better. I know all of you have been telling us newbies this for a long time. I understand how to build the starter but in looking at the chart in Brewing Classic Styles some of my starters are going to be pretty large, especially for...

I am fermenting an all grain vienna right now (first lager). I pitched my starter at 50 deg. Set my new brewers edge up on the fridge in the shop to maintain 50 deg. I had air lock activity in 12 hours. I went out of town for work three days ago and when I came back last night the temp was...

I brewed A Mirror pond clone about 2 months ago, its been in the bottle for about 3 weeks. I opened one tonight and it is very sweet at the end. I mashed at 152 for 90 min. I pitched notty at 70 and fermented in primary for 2 weeks at 65. I dry hopped with pellets for 2 weeks in secondary at...

So here is what I did: I preheated my 5 gal cooler with 175 degree water while I heated my mash liquor. I mashed 7 pounds Bo pils 2 pounds flaked corn I used 1.5 quarts per pound, rounded to 3 1/2 gal I used 164 degee strike water mash stabalized at 153, which was 1 degree higher...

I am brewing a beer that calls for half a pound of flaked rice. The local hombrew store only had rice solids. I am sure that the solids are much more concentrated than what I would get from the flakes. Can anyone tell me how to convert the solids to the flakes to keep the og the same...

I am looking for a clone recipe for this beer. Had this over the fourth up in Cody, Wy and really liked it. This was the first time I tried one of Red Lodge Ale's beers. Thanks Kyle:mug:

:drunk:My Seirra Nevada pale ale clone. I have these Spongie, cheese, looking floaties next to my hop bag. It has been inthe secondary for two weeks. Am I infected?

I have done several searches for a recipe and have struck out. Does anyone have a clone recipe or somthing similar that they would post for me? I really like this beer and its hit and miss finding it here. Thanks Kyle:mug:

My family and I raise barley for cattle feed most of the time. Every know and then we get a year whos weather conditions here in wyoming favor malt barley. We are on the wrong side of the big horn mountins, the west side raises a lot of malt barley. In the past we have sold to both bud and...

Its 10 degrees, snowing, wind is blowing about 30 mph here in Casper Wyoming, so I decided today is a great brew day. I am doing my first partial mash, following deathbrewers guide lines. It is a brown ale clone. I am ruined because the smell of those grains steeping is awsome. I know now...

I am looking for a good American Pale Ale kit. If you dont mind let me know what your favorite is.

This will drive some of you nuts I am sure. I have brewed with dry yeast up to this point. I bought a mini-mash kit with a liquid yeast and have been reading up on starters, I think I have that part under control. My problem is that all of the calculators for the starter volume that I have...
