Located in Toronto. 2 Blichmann Kettles (one with false bottom & auto sparge, other with hop blocked), 2 corny kegs, co2 tank, taps, malt mill, march pump etc... anyone interested in buying my whole kit? I have not yet done a complete interview.

Atlantic Bitter This ESB is inspired by Propeller Brewing's ESB. I couldn't find a definitive clone recipe so I just improvised. It doesn't taste much like the target beer, but is very delicious. I ran out of Willamette hops so I skipped the dry-hop addition, and I think I swapped some of the...

Hey everyone, I believe I am getting poor hop utilization. All of my beer seem to be lacking in that hop bitterness, or tasting too sweet. I am doing full boils of 5-gallon batches on my stove. I am not sure if I am getting a really vigorous boil, but it's as much as my system can do...

Hey guys, I am planning on making a Brooklyn Pennant Ale clone from the Clone Brews recipe book and I have a question regarding the use of maltodextrin. This book is primarily written for extract brewers. At the end of each recipe there's a little scrawl about what to change if you're...

Hey guys, I am about to bottle a Saison and I am looking to get a very high level of carbonation, like what you get in a bottle of Saison Dupont. I bought some swing-top style bottles (E.Z. Cap, 16oz) because I thought I read somewhere that they could withstand more pressure - but I can't...

Hey guys, I was really bummed out to see the big warning on my boilermaker when I unpacked it. I have a 10 gallon kettle and was planning on moving it with about 5.5 gallons in it. Does any do this? Are the handles that weak? I didn't know it was a requirement to have a stand or a pumping...

Hey guys, I've done a few extra+steep batches and I am now moving on to AG brewing. I splurged and bought two Blichmann 10g Boilermakers: one as an MLT, and one for boiling. My question is: Is there any reason why I can't just fill my MLT with all my mash water and heat it directly...

Hey guys, I tried to make a beer similar to SNPA (recipe from Palmer's book but switched out some of the hops based on availability). The beer seemed to taste great before I bottled in, but I am now into 3 weeks of the beer being in bottles and it has a really strong smell of nail polish...

Hey guys, I was planning on racking my beer to a secondary today (to dry hop), but I noticed it's still actively bubbling (about 3 times a minute). The fermentation was a bit slow to start (between 24 and 36 hours), but it's been bubbling a lot since. I haven't checked on it 5 days because...

Hey guys, I am preparing to do my second homebrew batch this weekend and will be doing a single stage fermentation instead of a two stage (which I did the first time around). I'll be making the Lady Liberty Ale from Palmer's book. The recipe gives you two fermentation schedules, one with...

Hi Everyone, I brewed my first batch of beer a few weeks back and I think it's too sweet, and that something went wrong in process. The beer is still drinkable and I will continue to let it bottle condition and move forward with a second batch this weekend. I'll post the recipe below, but...
