Hi all, I’m looking for a good hop poster/ chart to hang on the wall in the brewery. I’m seeking something with useful information, not just an artful piece. Figured I’d ask y’all about your favorites. Please, if you’re so inclined, post a pic and if possible, a link to where you purchased it...

Hey guys and gals I got a used keg that came from China. It sat around for a while because I did not need it. The other day I decided to clean it up and use it. When I opened it whatever was in it smelled like turpentine or maybe pine cleaner? All in all it was fairly clean inside and there was...

Been brew for a few years now but maybe this should be in the beginners section. Any way, I had some hops and 2 pacs of US-05 in a paper bag and absentmindedly tossed them in the freezer for about 20 hrs before it hit me that I had put dry yeast in the freezer and maybe, just maybe I should not...

I bought a Perlick faucet a few months ago and did not have a faucet wrench to install it with and could not get it to seal up on the shank so I ordered a wrench and tried to install the faucet over the weekend and still can't get it to tighten up enough to seal?

keged my first tonight and smoked a celebratory cigar. It was based loosely on this: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f68/guinness-draught-clone-100740/ though I didn't sour it. Taste great. Just wanted to post this, now I will retire to the Drunken Ramblings section......lol :mug:

Hey Guys and Gals, had my first stuck sparge and was wondering what went wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated. First off I batch sparge in a 10 gal igloo with a braid and the recipe was BierMunchers Ode To Arthur Irish Stout (Guinness Clone) adapted for 5.25 gal and I left out the acid...

Hello all, I opened and activator pack of Wyeast 2124 Bohemian Lager yeast yesterday to inoculate a starter and noticed that it had kind of a funky sherry like smell to it along with a little bit of a yeasty smell. Does any one know if this is pretty normal for this strain or is there something...

Just wondering what you guys that are using the 10 gal orange drink coolers for a mash tun are using as a thermal mass? Thanks!

Hey guys and gals, I’m a relative noob with 5 batches under my belt ( 3 AG, 1 PM and one extract with steeping grains). I am playing around with an amber ale recipe and have a question about caramel malts. I am using beer alchemy and I noticed that if I put in 1# of caramel 80 or 2# of caramel...
