Ok all heres what I got. 2 oz Sorachi Ace, 2 oz Cascade, 1 oz Centennial, and 1/2 oz Calypso. On the grain side ive got 10 lb base 2-row, C-10,C-20, and 3 lb Vienna. Id like to brew an IPA on Friday. I have an idea what to do with the malts for the style, but Ive never used Sorachi before so Im...

Just looking for clarification. Could I make (mash) 10 gal worth of a wheat beer "base" and then split it into two diff batches and make a proper bavarian style hefe and an american wheat? Hefe would get noble hops and WLP300 while the american wheat would get american hops and a clean american...

Ok, so heres my problem. I live in the sahara desert of beer. I have to drive over an hour to get to a place that has a good selection of beers (that I havent already had). Plus alot of the time in PA when you do find a new beer you have to buy it by the case. Expensive and risky. One thing I...

Well Ive been on a brewing hiatus for the last year. I sit here today with plenty enough year old crushed malt and slightly out of date yeast and some time. What do you think? Is it worth my time?

Just recently got to try this for the first time. Just wanted to give props to this fine brew. It definately went to very near the top of my favorite (commercial) brew list. Nice to get good beer in a portable friendly can too!

Well, this is my first time dryhopping, and i guess i underestimated the bouyancy of hops. They are in cheesecloth to aid in removal, with weight added, but apparently not enough. Will I get any aroma at all? Or will they possibly sink after some time has passed? Thanks

Id like to do a pils in the near future, and i was wondering which one of these yeasts (i will have both washed and on hand) would work better. I dont have the ability to lager yet :(

Well, this may be nothing, but i was wondering if anyone else experiences this...when i open my fermenter just before bottling, i have a habit of taking a whiff to see what ive got. For my last few brews, ive been met with a snootful of some kind of burning smell? Its not even just a smell it...

Im planning to do a imperial stout in the (hopefully) near future. Im a big fan of Storm King and i was just wondering if anyone knows what kind of hops they use? On the website all it says is "pacific northwest hops" Thanks

Hey all. Wasnt really sure where to put this thread so i took a guess. Im going to be brewing a batch of edworts haus pale ale in the near future, and i have plans for a RIS also. I was just wondering what everyones opinion was of pitching the ris onto the yeast cake from the haus ale, which...

I have a "fizzy yellow beer" in primary right now, that i would like to finish dry and crisp. I understand that you can raise the ferment temp toward the end of primary to help the yeasties finish strong. My question is at what point can i begin raising the temp without producing alot of esters...

Although im not a big poster on this forum, ive spent alot of time lurking since I joined up, and i just wanted to say thank you to everyone for all the great info! I just finished brewing my first AG batch and everything went great. Only missed posted OG by 3 pts or so. Thanks again all! :mug:

My barleywine has been in secondary for about 8 weeks and im going to be bottling it soon. Maybe worrying too much, but im wondering if i will get enough yeast transferred to the bottles to carb properly. I used WLP001 and it appears to be a pretty firm cake in the secondary. Thanks BTW-...

I recently brewed what was supposed to be a Kolsch from a recipe I found on HBT. (AG btw) This was my first AG attempt. At the end of the sparge I took a sample to test gravity...I did this simply by dipping a ladle into the wort and cooling it to 60 before taking a hydro reading. (Visualize...

Hey all. Im going to be brewing a kolsch next week sometime and i was just wondering if there are any other brews that would work well with the cake of WL029. Hate to waste a good cake! Thanks :mug:

Maybe just ovethinking this one, but ive been thinking about doing smaller batches to try out beer styles ive never had, and experiment in general. Will brewing a 2.5 gal batch (5 gal recipe halved) in a 3 gal carboy be okay? My question is about the excess headspace. Thanks

Ok all im on my first brew...an oatmeal stout. It is a MW kit that i ordered with the regular muntons dry yeast for simplicity sake. I just took my second gravity check...out of curiosity mostly, and on day 13 im at the same gravity as i was at day 7. My current gravity is 1.024. I wouldve...

What style(s) of beer is/are fastest to ferment and then condition to the point where it is good to drink? I have just tasted a sample from my primary that i took to check my gravity, and i can see that my first batch will not last long...:o I understand the theory of building a pipeline, but...
