I did it, but didn't consider it being 61.1% alpha acid. Can anyone do a quick calculation to determine the ph...

    DIY Cheese Cave / Wine & Beer Cellar

    Let me preface this by saying that I have very little experience in moving mass quantities of earth. That being said, I have a plan for a cheese/wine/beer cellar cut into my sloped backyard and wanted to pick some brains on the feasibility and cost of getting it done. A backhoe will cost...

    Alternative to Bruery Yeast for Autumn Maple Clone?

    I am wondering if anyone has a good alternative to The Bruery's house yeast for an Autumn Maple clone. I need a Belgian strain with 85-95% attenuation and phenolics on the cleaner side. I would just step up some of their yeast, but I cannot get Bruery beers in South Carolina. Or, if...

    I made a 5gal starter of Wyeast London Ale III for my 50gal Oatmeal Coffee Stout and after 12 hours from pitching, it clogged my blowoff and looked like it might explode. I made an emergency airlock out of a 64oz Gatorade bottle and a 16oz water bottle, but any ideas on how to keep down the...

    Sour Noob: What to do with this-

    I brewed a Pale Ale about 2-3 months ago that I've been neglecting doing anything with in primary. I had intended to keg it, but my setup isn't quite tuned yet.

    Mikkeller 1000 IBU's

    Had a 16oz draft at Barley's taproom in Greenville. If you've had the Mikkeller/BrewDog I Hardcore You IPA, this is on steroids. This beer is a medium amber with a white, thin head. The aroma smells like a hop garden, lots of earthy, nutty, almost pine notes, but a nice citrus undertone...
