i am doing a recipe that calls for hops at 0 minutes left in the boil. i am using a hop bag and i was wondering if i should just leave those hope in the fermenter or take them out before i add the yeast. any help would be great.

Brewing a batch of Strawberry Blonde for the summer. This is a Kit beer and it came with a bottle of "syrupy" looking strawberry flavoring. Is there any way to substitute this with actual strawberries or should we just use this stuff? If so, how many strawberries should we add to the...

Sorry, meant Muntons Dry Malt Extract. Thanks for the help, i'll just brew it that way.

I am brewing a Strawberry Blonde Kit, and my bloodhound hopped up on the table and ate the 1/2 lb of crystal malt I was supposed to steep. Would it be possible to use some dry crystal malt extract to replace the grains I was supposed to steep? Or should I make the hour long trek to a brewing...

Ok. do you think that the hop tea idea would work even though its through fermentation?

Anyone have any ideas?

I am wondering if I can add hops post fermentation? I thought I used a hopped Malt Extract but it was unhopped and now too sweet to drink! Very nasty! Is there any way I can boil some hops and pour the boiled water in, even though its been in the primary for like a week and a half? or...

25...I've been brewing for about 3 months...love it!

Awesome. Will do this and let you know how it goes. Thanks Revvy

sorry, i posted that before I read yours. That sounds like a great way to do it. I will be sure to go purchase a 5 gal cooler and the metal steamer. Then that would be all I need? How long do i mash it? and how do you keep the stuff in the cooler at the correct temperature? Sorry for all...

I'm stovetopping by the way. live in an apartment

hmm whats an all-grain BIAB? Do you know where I could learn to set one up? haha sorry I'm new to brewing i've done about 6 Extract Brews. The two gallon is just my pot for cooking noodles and stuff. Would prefer to not buy any new equipment. I got the 11 gal because I wanted one really...

Thanks for the Reply! I have an 11 Gallon pot and a 2 gallon pot. Could that work somehow you think? Thanks for the help. The recipe looks awesome. thanks

Does anyone have a good Partial Mash Recipe I can use? It will be my first Partial Mash and I would like it easy. Also, what equipment should I use? I was just looking at the Easy Partial Mash brewing with pictures and it was very helpful, I think I will use that method unless someone has a...

That makes sense how should I find the boil off rate? Is it worth trying to boil that much if I have an electrical stovetop? I live in an apartment and a gas grill would be tough.

I have an awesome pot that holds 11 gallons. I have still only been doing partial boils. Now that I have a wort chiller, I would like to begin doing a serious boil. Should I boil an entire 5 gallons for a 5 gal batch? Or should I do something more like 3 or 4 gallons with filling it up with...

Yes, I checked it. It is at about 1.000-1.002. I think that is fine. Hopefully it will turn out okay.

I am doing a recipe from Charles Papazian's Joy of Homebrewing. Its called Goat Scrotum Ale, and I let my buddy choose what recipe for us to use (thought the name was funny). I made the Wort today and put it in my primary. I put too much malt extract in there. I put 6 lbs of extract instead...

haha don't worry I already have an IPA sitting in a primary as we speak! Trying to get a solid rotation of my own beer going.

Hey Guys- Just finished putting my Amber into bottles. It tasted delicious for a flat beer! Really appreciate the help. I am pretty sure it is not infected. From what i understand I would know by a foul taste. The hydrometer reading was around 1.015-1.017 or so. I think that should be a...
