Been searching the forum, but haven't seen anything exactly on this. Just brewed an all grain oatmeal stout. Mashed at 155, appeared to hit the efficiency I was looking for, boiled for 60min, got the volume I wanted. Hit gravities, all appeared to be good. But there is seriously almost zero...

I've recently come across a 50# bag of grain that a friend who used to brew but has been on an extended hiatus gave to me. I didn't know he had it or even used to brew. We started talking, he said he has an unopened sack of 2 row from Breiss thats been in a bedroom closet for 3+ years. There...

I'm looking into making my first partial mash recipe this weekend and it's an ESB (also the first one of those as well.) Any thoughts or suggestions on everything from the grain and or hop bill to stovetop mash suggestions are greatly welcomed and appreciated! I'll be using Maris Otter for...

I'm an extract brewer, and I've been interested trying something with some rye. I'm giving a shot at somehting similar to the "RyePA" recipe in the latest issue of BYO. The grain bill is as follows: 3.3# LME 2# DME 1# malted rye 1# munich 1/2# victory 6 oz honey malt I ran out to...

So, I haven't brewed in about 6 weeks, and I'm burning to get back up and running. I've got a bunch of big American hops ready to go, and here's what I've got so far: 7 lb XLDME 8oz Crystal (40L) 8oz Vienna 6oz Victory 1.5 oz Columbus (60 min) .75 oz Cascade (15 min) .75 oz...

I know its been discussed, but I had a hard time searching for hop storage with "hop" not being a search-able term. Anyway, I bought 8 oz. each of Amarillo, Columbus, and Chinook pellets about 5 months ago, and due to some circumstances out of my control have not used them as quickly as I...

First of all, I'm sorry if this is breaking a rule, but I posted this in the extract brewing section and got no response, so I don't know if this just sucks as a topic or if it was in the wrong section. So, sorry for the double post but I've got a couple questions for the wisdom of the panel...

I've been brewing w/ extracts/ specialty grains for little over a year now while living in an apartment. I'm satified with my results for the most part as far as flavor and what not, but b/c I'm on an electric range, I've been getting color waaaay off. I know this is to be expected...

I've been wanting to get the best I can out of creating a Shakespeare stout clone while rogue still has their pacman yeast available. I know that AHBS sells kits for they're version, amd I've looked for a couple of other ideas and am wanting to try to compare. Does anyone care to give me the...

Ok, I know this is a bad deal, but I've got myself into a bit of a problem. Pretty sure I ended up dropping the yeast in to a batch of wort that was considerably higher than room temperature. Not sure of the temp, but I'm thinking around 85-90. I was brewing a dead guy clone, and the sg was...
