Greetings fellow brewers, I have an interesting conundrum on my hands. This year has been a bit crazy for me. I never considered myself to be a great brewer by any means but was encouraged to compete in a local (600ish entries) competition last year. I entered 5 beers and took away two...

Hey all, I recently built a keezer and i'm running into a few problems i may need help with. The build was pretty successful, I was able to essentially just build a wooden collar and glue it on with some super strong glue from the hardware store. This allowed me to avoid drilling any holes into...

Hey guys. 6 months ago I made a sasion. I fermented it down with White labs Saison I yeast. After fermentation i transferred it to a secondary and dumped in a vial of Brett Brux Trois. I then ignored it. When i came back to it in 3-4 months I noticed that it didn't really look like it formed...

I decided to take a taste test today. As I pulled the lid off the keg I noticed a large amount of foam on...

So, yesterday I brewed a Marzen style beer. We usually put our lagers into a carboy because unlike the buckets the carboy can fit in my lagering fridge. I guess this type of yeast is more active that previously used yeast strains or something because this is what I woke up to: Now i'm not...

Beginner AG brewer here. So far, I haven't had too many problems with all grain brewing. Tonight however, it seems the grains are clogging my manifold. I can't drain the wort through it. My only option seems to be to pour the mash through a strainer to separate the grains and the wort. The...
