So I went to the LHBS and Nottingham is now $3.98, and used to be $2.15. Is it my LHBS or is this something that is happening all over? I'm just trying to figure why the ~200% price increase... All I saw was a new updated packaging label. I like to be thrifty when brewing, and Notty has...

Ok here's the back story... So i think God is trying to tell me something about not brewing yesterday. Saturday night i'm making my yeast starter and I crack my erhlenmeyer flask while i'm sanitizing my starter wort. -$30 & i no longer have viable yeast Today i realize when i milled my...

Hey, to see where this all started: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f36/swmbo-brew-day-belgian-wit-hefeweizen-one-wort-238424/ The Belgian Wit portion came out 1.090 after the honey addition, then I cut it with 2 gallons of DI water to get the right OG. It is chugging away nicely, Since...

As the topic mentions, the SWMBO LOVES belgian wits and Hefeweizens... and since i have a ton of stuff she doesn't dig and blue moon isn't as cheap as homebrew, going to knock both out in one day. Going to do a 10gallon batch, 10lb Wheat 10lb Am 2-row 0.5lb Honey Malt Boil (11.5...

Hey guys, Going to be brewing this up on Sunday, and didn't know what you guys thought, i'm looking for a medium bodied beer and will put about 1/2 a fifth of Maker's in with it at secondary. Anyone got some suggestions for keeping it balanced, or what any of you would change specialty...

So in a $$ saving measure and too lazy to go to my LHBS, I have washed the yeast from some of my batches to start a small "library" if you will of frequently used yeast. Who else has done this and how many generations do people have experience with? How big of a factor is how long it sits in...

So after completely my blueberry beer, the FG is 1.008. Tasting at bottling gives a dry, bitter/sour blueberry kick as opposed to the sea dog blueberry that has the sweet blueberry feel i want. As far as trying to change what i have... what can you add to make the beer sweeter? I did this...

So after a successful brew day of the "Breakfast of Champions" Stout seen here: http://hopville.com/recipe/372019/oatmeal-stout-recipes/breakfast-of-champions-stout I set the beer in the garage with a blow out tube, with the expectation that a lot of it would blow out (got it pretty close to...

Hey, I have a Blueberry Buckle beer with Pecan, Cinnamon and going to add blueberry to the beer in the secondary. I was wondering for ways to try and sanitize ~5lbs of blueberries for this batch. I currently have them in the freezer. any techniques of how exactly to parboil the fruit, or...

I completed my first AG in early June, and it has been bottled ~10 days and i like to get a little taster before i wait another 3-4 weeks before i open another. It gave a small fssst as i opened it but open pouring and noticing the bottom of the bottle, there was few if any yeast in the bottom...

So in my newest adventure in brewing I decided my first AG would be a KISS American Wheat, I have already gone through and found places to improve efficiency (55-58%) 1st go round... but it seems i only got 4gal from the boil and 3.5gal at bottling time. My question is with the following hop...
