9# Pale Malt 2# Crystal 60L 1oz Kent Golding Hops 3oz Citra Hops Wyeast American Ale II Going for an IPA, what kind of hops schedule would you recommend? Anybody? Plan on brewing it this afternoon.

Just kegged my first 2 beers a few days ago. Set it at 30psi for 48 hours. Checked both kegs a few mins ago, purged and set the kegs to 10psi. Noticed one was leaking around the purge valve. Greased it up with keg lube and it seemed to stop. THe other one though, it is foaming real bad, and...

Had some beer in the bottle for 3 weeks. When i bottled it, it tasted really sweet and i was actually worried about bottle bombs. I've tried a few over the last week, i get the co2 smoke in the neck when i pop the top, but its just not carbonating. 3 weeks is plenty enough time to see...

Just watched this documentary, which was released to DVD/Netflix yesterday. Pretty interesting with lots of interviews from some of the better craft brewers and some very interesting information on the big 3. Make sure to check it out! http://beerwarsmovie.com/

I brewed a Dunkelweizen yesterday and it used Danstar Munich yeast. I noticed the yeast didn't look the same when i hydrated as most of the yest i have done, but i just figured it was because it was a different strain. As of this morning, doesnt look like there is any activity. Im brewing...

Im on my 3rd brew and i have bad habit of not topping off enough water to compensate for hydrometer testing. On this batch i made sure to add a little extra water. It is a wheat from AHB and it is fermenting like crazy, and as of a few minutes ago, the krausen was up in the neck of the carboy...

A few questions here. This is my 2nd brew. This one used DME rather than LME. First thing i did different with this one was use a nylon bag to boil my hops in. Amazing how much cleaner the wort is when i transferred it. It has been bubbling away for 2 days now and has an amazing smell. It...

Since i didn't filter out my hops while transferring from my cooker to my primary... I'll be using an auto-siphon. Anyone tried anything like putting a piece for pantyhose or something similar (sanitized of course) over the end of the suction end to help filter out sediment while...

Just finished my first batch of beer. I went with the Midwest Brew Supply kit "Liberty Cream Ale". Everything went pretty good i think. Came close to having a boil-over but watched it close and did everything i learned watching a bunch of online videos and the video that came with my...
