    Strange yucky cyser aftertaste

    First batch of cyser has been bottle conditioning in my basement since mid december. All of the sediment has settled and it is nearly clear with a color like that of a white zinfandel wine. The aftertaste is super yeasty and very pungent. It doesnt have any off odors. I thought it might...

    Stuck fermentation re-started after racking

    Hi all, I brewed this chocolate stout (1.053 og) a couple of weeks back, fermentation took off like a rocket and lasted about 3 days. I checked the SG after 6 days and it was 1.025, way too high (target was 1.013). I let it sit and took it again every 3 days for 9 days, and it didn't change a...

    Worst Commercial Beer You've Ever Had?

    Not sure if this counts, but my college rugby team had a ritual called shooting the boot. Basically, the first time a player scores a try (uh, sort of like a touchdown in football) he has to drink beer out of a old boot (cleat). Other more senior players on the team like to put grass and spit...

    Stupidest thing you ever did brew related

    Once I brewed some beer over at my friends house to teach him how, and left it in his charge. He popped the airlock grommet into the beer and decided to reach in and try to fish it out. :(

    Cocoa powders effect on F.G.?

    Hi all, I recently brewed a chocolate stout with 8 ounces of hersheys cocoa powder added, and it has hovered around 1.025 for about 5 days. My question is: would adding coca powder affect the final gravity of my beer? I am already in the process of warming up the brew in case the...

    Pale Ale recipe

    I just brewed a beer almost identical to that, but my hop schedule was a bit different. I did: .75oz brewers gold 9.4%aa @60 min 1oz Cascade 5.4%aa @ 12 mins 1oz Cascade 5.4%aa DH And i used pale DME, so my OG was a touch higher.

    Thank goodness for color changing beer label mountains!

    I figured out that you can peel the labels off and use packing tape to affix it to my home brews. Worked great for my budweiser clamato clone I just made!

    Is it blow off time?

    The airlock fluid isnt brown, but i pulled it out and peeked in and the krausen is really close to it, so i figure better safe than sorry. I see by your user name you have a jeep, are you on jeepin.com forums at all?

    Is it blow off time?

    My double bubble style air lock is bubbling nearly constantly on the chocolate stout I brewed yesterday, I'm thinking its time for a blow off tube. Even though this is not a very high gravity OG beer (1.057), do I need one?

    Do you ever drink BMC?

    Does zima count? Kidding. Sometimes I will crack a PBR. Thats my favorite cheap BMC beer. And steer clear of Monster energy drink and anything inBev related (Anheiser Busch), they tried to sue Rock Art Brewery over a beer called the Vermonster a while back.

    Do you adhere to a brewing schedule?

    As I sit here and try to decide what style and recipe I would like to brew next, I keep thinking "Oh, I should brew such and such recipe this time of year to have it ready for that time of year," and so on and so forth until I could just about have a set schedule. My question for you is...
