I recently racked (23 days ago) a big brown ale on top of an oak spiral which had been soaked in bourbon. I broke the spiral in half before adding it. Maybe a week later I noticed some bubbles forming around the floating spirals. It's obviously not still fermenting, I tasted it yesterday...

Can anyone weigh in on how well this works? I was thinking about adding a spiral of lightly toasted American white oak to a freshly kegged saison. The package suggests one spiral per 3 gallons... Any thoughts?

I'm sure this is pretty common but hasn't happened to me before. I need to take a gravity reading. What to do?

Bourbon Barrel Old Ale Brewed October 9, 2010. Transferred to secondary on October 31, 2010 Been in there ever since. Used WLP002. Should I have enough viable yeast left to carbonate? I have never aged a brew this long...

Looking at brewing something like this. I want a bitter brown with a nice floral hop aroma. This should make for a great session ready around Christmas/NYE. This is a slightly altered Papazian recipe. 6.6lbs Amber LME 1lb Crystal 40 4oz Chocolate 4oz Chocolate Rye 2oz Williamette @...

Heading to Baltimore/DC in August for a little baseball trip. Driving to DC from Baltimore after catching an Orioles game to catch a Nationals game. Would like to drink some good local stuff. Any locals wanna weigh in on where to go/what to visit during said trip? Thanks buddies...

I brewed this https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f68/double-chocolate-oatmeal-snout-126638/ and bottled it 3 weeks ago. I have drank a few, they are well carbonated, maybe too much, but still taste somewhat green. I come home today and notice that my two 22 oz bombers had exploded, the rest of the...

This is basically EdWort's Haus Pale with the hops altered to make it a hop bomb. At least this is my plan... 6.5 Extra Pale LME 1.5 Munich LME 8oz Crystal 10 2oz Summit (14%) @ 20 1oz Cascade (5%) @ 15 1oz Cascade (5%) @ 10 1oz Cascade (5%) @ 5 1oz Summit (14%) @ 0 1oz Amarillo (8.2%) @ 0...

Has anyone ever tried this for an extract recipe? I understand that the technique is to add some of your hops during the mash correct? If so, would this work if I was doing an all extract recipe with some steeping grains? Just toss an ounce or 2 in with my grains and steep away?

Alright, so the last time I tried to wing a recipe I screwed up. I did an IPA using 1/2 lb of Centennial hops in the boil but used nothing but 1 lb of CaraAmber as my grains. Just an extract recipe. It has been about 5 weeks in the bottle and is pretty much too sweet to drink. It attenuated...

Bottled a Centennial IPA in which I used 7 ounces of hops throughout the process. Started at about 1.063 an finished at around 1.020. It was somewhat sweet when I bottled it but not overly. I tasted one after a week of carbing, i know way to early, but it was damn sweet with decent...

Is this normal? Shouldn't the yeast be in suspension? Used Pacman. I mean it looks like its completely floccuated/compacted.

Looking to brew a Saison. I have a recipe and was wondering what the cheapest route would be to acquire all the ingredients. Mainly the LME. Any ideas? 9.3lb Pilsener LME .75 lb Wheat LME .5 lb Munich LME 1lb Cane Sugar 2oz Cara Munich 60L 2oz Hallertau (60min) .75oz Hallertau...

I brewed the Oatmeal Stout kit from Midwest and bottled it on December 6th. They have been in the bottle 53 days which is about 7.5 weeks. They are carbed up nicely but there are some off flavors and aroma. It almost as if they still taste 'green'. Should I expect anything from these in the...
