Like he title says, i can't figure is out. 3rd year plants. All exhibiting the same symptoms. Patchy yellowing leaves that start at the bottom and work their way towards the top. Last year I had some nitrogen burn from too much fertilizer, but quickly flushed it out and they recovered. These are...

I've made this beer, or very close to this beer twice before now and feel that this last batch will be good enough to post. I feel that I like most Rye Pales, but I'm not a huge fan of in your face rye flavor that overpowers everything else. I also am pretty partial to a pale having that citrus...

Hey all, I posted a question about my Berliner in the sour forum to no avail. Perhaps I'll get some help here. I an going to be pitching my US-05 into the carboy that was inoculated with my lacto culture 48 hrs ago and has been fermenting vigorously since at 110f. I purposely did not oxygenate...

Hey all, Been brewing for about 5 years, 3.5years all-grain. I tend to not brew the same recipies multiple times (exceptions = cream ale and IPA). This is my second go around at a red ale. I'm looking for something that has a nice malty backbone and is a deep red color (~15SRM?). I love...

So, first off let me say this the title is a bit misleading since I will not be pitching on to the whole cake. I will pitch onto an appropriate amount of slurry for the beer that I brew. My main question is that I am going to be racking a cream ale and bring a red ale next weekend. I searched...

NOTE - MODIFIED RECIPE ACTUALLY BREWED IS IN POST #4 BELOW!!! Hey all! Taking my first crack at a Chocolate Cherry Porter.:ban: Please critique my recipe below - what I'm going for is a very subdued roast, with upfront chocolate taste. Hence, just a small amount of dehusked Carafa III and 1#...

So here's the deal - I've had a 30 plate chiller for about 8-10am batches now, thinking I'd be upgrading from my IC. I can't see how this is better! How does anyone justify or even use these!? Here are my main problems: 1. I have a pump and try to whirlpool with it. Problem is that I want to...

Ok all, please critique this recipe. I've been doing quite a bit of research and have about 20 self formulated all grains under my belt, but I've never done a saison. This is for my annual 'mans trip' at the end of June. So here it goes, I think I have a good recipe for the grains/hops/yeast I...

Hey all, First, let me preface by saying that I have scoured any resources that I could find to answer it myself, but to no avail... Also, I consider myself pretty green-thumbed, and have a pretty good understanding of pH, N-P-K needs and symptoms, and general pest problems. These are all...

Hey all, So I made my attempt at an big Black IPA (recipe below) and I've been thinkingabout how to dry hop. What would be the differences if I split up the 2oz into two, 1oz additions? I was thinking 1oz Zythos for 5 days, then replace that with the 1oz cascade for another5 days. Any...

Hey all, I have a cider (brewed 04-08-11) that I am planning on back sweetening soon. It has been cold crashed for about 3 weeks now @ 35 degrees. I was originally planning on to FCAJ, cinn sticks, and some maple syrup. I opened the pantry today and saw the SWMBO had bought some packets...

Hello all, So I have been browzing around trying to figure out how others were using their march pumps. I really wanted it to be portable, but I also had not quite seen a design that I liked. All of the pumps seem to be mounted with the head in a very breakable location. Anyways, some...

Hey all, I posted this in the Cider Forum, but I think that it applies here as well. So I've been meaning to make up a batch of cider for the longest time now and I finally got the motivation to pick up the ingredients last night on my way home from work. I followed BrewFrick's recipe below...

So I thought I'd give my stirplate a try with harvesting yeasts. Bought a 6'er of Sierra Nevada's Kellerweis and pitched the dregs into about 1L of 1.040, chilled and decanted after 2 days. Re-pitched into 1.6L and this thing took off in a few hours. Pitched to my interpretation of the...

Hey all, Long time follower/reader, first post. I am in the never-ending process of upgrading my equipment and I stumbled upon this piece. http://cgi.ebay.com/Mini-Digital-Temperature-Controller-Thermostat-Aquarium-/130459598798?pt=AU_B_I_Electrical_Test_Equipment&hash=item1e5fff7fce...
