-edit- Found the updated calculator here and answered my own question, I think. Quick question - I'm dipping my feet into water adjustments, thought I had everything figured out, then read a little more carefully.. Using the Brewer's Friend water tool with valued calculated by Kaiser's...

-edit 4/12- Now seeking shanks - have paid for faucets. Looking for four, flexible on the length. I'm going to be doing the beer for my cousin's wedding in May, and want to build a rolling kegerator. Looking for four inexpensive faucets - I'll need shanks too, so if you've got those I'd...

I made a barleywine - OG 1.116. I dropped it on a cake of S-04, in two three gallon increments, 24hrs apart. Kept fermentation at 65F. Aerated a few times during the first 48hrs of fermentation. After vigorous fermentation stopped I roused the yeast each day for a few days (S-04 being highly...

Last time I bought grain, it spoiled me; prices just a couple dollars per sack over the North Country Malt pricing... Unfortunately, the cats I got in with are either not doing it again, or all changed their email addresses. I was thinking about making the 3.5hr drive to NCM in Champlain and...

After taking a sip of every sort of beer I've thrown at her and wrinkling her nose at all of it, and doing the same with every wine she's ever been presented at a family gathering, my beloved wife has finally found a drink (other than Mike's Hard Pomegranite or a white russian) that she likes...

So I've had an off flavor show up in a couple batches so far. I'm having a hard time diagnosing it, because I can't describe it very well. The best I can describe it is as follows... At the bottom of a keg, I find a brown mass of snotty crap plastered to the "bowl." It has an odor if you...

Hello, venerable HBT forum warriors. I'm wondering if anyone might have a recipe for a clone of Smuttynose Big A IPA. This is a fine, fantastic DIPA that I'd love to have on tap, but the website's brewer's notes are a little vague. I've had good experience communicating with the head brewer...

Hello! So I've got four bottles of Hoegaarden left in the fridge, and I want to capture the yeast to use on a white. What I'm thinking is to crush a pound of grain, mash it low (146?) and boil it for a half hour, finish with a gallon of wort (should be about 1.050? is that right?) and...

http://smuttynose.com/beers/the_smuttynose_big_beer_ser/imperial_stout.html Wow. I had a second bomber of this stuff the other night, procured with great joy from a shopping trip to tax-free New Hampshire. (stocked up this time! can't find it in my neck of the woods.) Picture a good...

Hello, knowledgeable HBT brewers! I'm looking to brew a beer now that I can set aside until the holiday season - something big and with complex flavors that will benefit from sitting bottled in the basement for six months. I'd like to primarily stick with the ingredients that I have on...

Tried grinding my own grain for the first time this evening - some Canadian Pale. Having only done one AG brew before, I'm not sure what a "good" crush looks like in person. I ordered my grains crushed from Rebel Brewer, and managed an 84% efficiency on the stove top, so I guess their crush is...

Hello, I brewed my first batch of beer from an extract kit on 2/6. It's an IPA kit from True Brew that consisted of the following... Two cans of Amber LME - Munton's One pound of steeping grains Two packets of hops, one for 60m and one for 15m One packet of yeast - Munton's I differed my...

Hello! First off, thanks to the HBT community for being so filled with information. I'm brewing my first solo batch this evening (though I have brewed with a buddy before) and played it safe with a kit from my local homebrew emporium. This kit is an IPA, that includes Oak wood chips. The...
