Over the last year and a half, i've been brewing at my buddy's house. Recently, he informed me that his roommate doesn't want me to brewing there anymore. Now i'm stuck without a reliable place to brew. My apartment is very small and has one of those regular sized sinks that is split into two...

Hey guys, I am trying to convert an AG to a partial mash of a Green Flash IPA clone that i found. This is my first time doing this so i would like to verify that this looks correct. I plan to follow the original recipe and hop schedule after conversion. Here is the original recipe: 12 LBS...

Props to these guys! I highly recommend this place to anyone around the Seattle area. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/restaurants/2013263798_happyhour27.html?cmpid=2628

Hello, Another batch with a new problem. This was my 6th mini mash batch and until this one, i've never had a problem with the OG. The estimate was 1.047 and my final OG turned out to be 1.037. I noticed with this batch was that the volume of wort i poured into the carboy was about a gallon...

Hello, I racked a belgian wit to my secondary last night after six days of primary fermentation. The OG was 1.052 and read 1.02 when i transferred. I would generally leave it in the primary for 2 weeks before racking to secondary or would go without a secondary all together but i needed to...

Hello, Two issues with this starter: 1) I ordered my Wyeast pale ale yeast off AHS. When i pulled the pack out of my fridge it was cold and partially inflated. Turns out the smack pack was already broken (most likely during shipping). I decided to pitch it into a starter to see if it's...

Brewed up a batch over the weekend and ran into some very frustrating glass instrument issues. First, thermometer broke after taking a reading of sparge water @170 and dropping it in room temp sanitized water. I originally thought this was due to shock. So I put the brew on hold and ran to my...

Delete me :cross::cross::cross:

I recently brewed a PranQster clone from extract. This was my first time brewing a heavy beer and I messed up a couple of steps. I'm looking for advice on what i should do differently for the next heavy beer and if this one is salvageable. First, my OG was 1.11 and I pitched two vials of...

Like the title says, i'm looking for a fairly simple extract IPA recipe. I'd like to order from AHS sometime this week. This will be my first IPA and hopefully something with a less than a generic IPA flavor. Thank you in advance!

Last week i brewed up a North Coast PranQster clone that i ordered off AHS. I have never used white labs liquid yeast and simply followed the instructions (didn't make a starter). This was a big beer, about 1.10 if i remember correctly, so i pitched two vials of Trappist Ale WLP500. A couple...

Hello, I am preparing to begin AG brewing and I was wondering if i can clean out an old cooler to convert to a mash tun or if i need to buy a new one. I understand that a cooler with scratches in it is bad but this one looks to be alright, only a couple smaller scratches that i can see. s

I am brewing my first batch, a Hefe in a dark closet of mystery. This mysterious closest of chemical reactions and possibly death fluctuates from 58-64 degrees. I had the brew in a primary at around 63 degrees for 4 days. I transferred it over to a secondary after I got a consistent hydrometer...
