I'm looking into the grainbill for what will be my last brew for a while (first baby is 4 weeks away), and want something that's pretty high ABV, say in the 1.075+ range, and that could/would benefit from a pretty long secondary. In my mind this puts an IIPA out of the question as the hop edge...

Hi there, I've got what I think is a good grain bill for a Rye IPA that I'll be brewing this weekend, but need some help with hopping with the hops I've got in the freezer. Here's the grainbill: 10 Lb MO 2 lb Vienna 2 lb Rye .75 lb Crystal 60 .5 lb flaked barley Planning on mashing...

I'm on track to really nail recipes of 2 of my favorite beers. Version 1.0 of both my ESB and Porter have been brewed and turned out well, and now I'm all ready to adjust a few things to see how they differ next time. For the ESB I'm thinking of changing hop comibnations, and for the Porter...

I'm working on formulating a Smoked Porter recipe for our "winter" here in San Diego and was wondering if someone could help me fine tune. Here's the current grainbill: 8 lb Maris Otter 3 lb smoked malt 1 lb Munich .75 lb Crystal 60 .5 lb Chocolate malt .25 lb Black malt OG 1.067 FG 1.016 .5...

So I'm really getting tired of bottling, and am looking to move into kegging my beers. With space very limited in my new condo I was thinking of building something themed like the Fermoire: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/fermoire-45567/ that looks like a piece of furniture, but also serves...

Since I've garnered so much knowledge from HBT I'd like to try and give back a bit. After several variations of BIAB I have finally dialed in what I think is a great process, and wanted to share it with those of you looking to get started in all grain. My equipment is: 40 qt aluminum pot 2...

I'm going to be brewing an American Wheat this weekend and need a recommendation for hops additions. In the freezer I have leftover amounts of Nugget, Centennial, Amarillo, Simcoe, and Cascade. Probably enough to brew with just one of them, but wanted to get some people's take on what a good...

So I've got a Black IIPA that's not fermented well, and i trying to figure out what to do. I've repitched with a second yeast packet (even though I know I should've made a starter), and it's been 4 weeks since brew day. it's a 2.5 gallon batch and the grain bill is: 6 lbs 2 row 1 lb Munich...

What does everyone think about a get together at one of the breweries in the area? I've only been in town about year, but have been to most of the breweries with the exception of Green Flash. Stone is an obvious favorite for most. Any thoughts?

So I planted 4 different varieties about 6 weeks ago. My Cascade, Fuggle, and Kent Goldings are all growing like crazy (3+ ft. tall), but my Chinook (the one i was most excited about) isn't more than 1" tall. Any thoughts on how to revive growth on this one? All were planted in the same pots...

I'm preparing to build a yeast bank of a few key strains that I can use on all of my brews. With a Witbier strain aside (because I understand it's hard to store these for any amount of time), what would be a good selection? I have WLP029 and Wyeast 1084 fermenting away right now in different...

Denny, or anyone else who cares to comment: I was reading dennybrew.com's description on batch sparging and saw something I didn't understand. He says "The main concept we’re going to be working with is that for the best efficiency, the runoff volumes from your mash and batch sparge should...

Has anyone had Coronado Brewing Co's "Islander IPA"? I had it last week and loved it. Serious citrus/orange flavors and a really clean finish. Any thoughts on adding those types of flavors to an IPA? I've seen lots of orange/lemon zest posts for wheat beers.

So, i'm about to embark on my first AG batch, after 3 successful extract and specialty grain batches of wonderful beer. i don't have a cooler I want to cut up and convert for a MLT, but I was wondering if anyone thought there'd be serious problems with doing a hybrid BIAB, but in a cooler...
