I'm looking to take my first crack at using gelatin for fining. Since going to BIAB my beers are pretty cloudy and seem to take awhile to clear. Even after 2-3 weeks in the keg they'll be cloudy and have kind of a harsh taste. After another 2-3 weeks though everything is great. So I want to...

I've always done my exchanges at Great Lakes welding and never had an issue. My last exchange was $27 though. I never remember it being that much and it seems high to me. Just wondering who else others in the area may be using for a refill or exchange.

Anyone tried something like this? I want to make a holiday beer with the usual spicing (ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice). I'm planning on a barleywine, but I also tend to like hoppier beers so I wound up with a recipe with about 70 IBUs. Is this too much of a style clash? Would I be...

First year growing and I've got Centennials and Cascades right next to each other. the Centennials are going great with 4 strong bines and 3 of them are in the 5-8' range. The Cascades have struggled all year though. I had an initial shoot that was just long enough to tie up and a few days...

I know, kind of an oxymoron, but I'm trying to make something in the vein of 3F's Brian Boru. I mostly make pretty lightly colored pale ales and IPAs so it's my first all grain attempt at something darker. I'm looking for some advice on this recipe. Am I going overboard on the specialty...

Recently moved to all-grain using BIAB. Still dialing in my system as I missed my evaporation rate badly last time. Anyway, I'm planning on doing a small batch wheat wine next and wanted to see if this looks reasonable. It'll be targeted as a 2.5 gal batch 7 lbs. White wheat malt 3 lbs. 2...

I recently did my first full sized BIAB batch in my new 10.5 gallon pot. One thing I discovered was that my old metal spoon wasn't really getting the job done as far as being able to get to the bottom and stir without getting my hand in the hot wort. So for my next batch, I bought this...

I've been playing around with brewtarget and it works pretty well. However, it seems like any wheat recipe I do always seems the get the cloying label. Is that just how the style is supposed to be? This isn't just with my recipes, I've put in the recipes from kits I've used from AHS and...

I've been searching around and looking at the various suggestions for a Gumballhead clone. I'm fortunate to live close to Three Floyd's, so at the very least it will be easy for me to do some side-by-side comparison. I've been wanting to get this in the pipeline soon and figured now is as good...

A little background first. I got into this crazy habit when my wife, against her better judgment, got me a Mr. Beer kit for Christmas. I made a couple barely passable Mr. Beer kit brews and a good batch of Apfelwein before I decided this was something I was going to stick with and went ahead...
