Ok I know I'm not the only one...who else does it? I find a kit beer that I absolute love, change maybe one or two small ingredients that I think will make it better, and then call it my own with its own name. Im sorry its just the best way to make sure all my beers I make are fantastic.

Just an amazing day I'm having. Currently mashing my Front Porch IPA, while a 9lb pork shoulder has been smokin away in the smoker since 1am for pulled pork, and watching college gameday. Is it fair to have life this good?

So I have some old beers that I brewed last fall I just never got to drinking. Basically an array of all the different beers I brewed last year that just got lost in the shuffle. What do you do with your old beers? Do you drink em? Give em to friends? Do they taste old and have lost...

Wanted to make an IPA using chinook for bittering and then amarillo, cascade, and simcoe for flavoring and aroma. Anyone used this combo? Would these blend well together or try to beat each other down in the bottle? I'm not tryin to play mediator between a bunch of angry hops

This damn heat is keeping me from brewing. The water temperature coming out of my faucet on all the way cold has to be close to 90 degrees. Takes me forever to cool my beer down enough to pitch my wort, even with an immersion chiller. I've been waiting until a break in the heat to brew again...

They look pretty good as pictures. They look amazing on the bottles!

This is my extract recipe of an American Red Ale I brewed a little while back. It's been bottled about a month now but when I drink it it just tastes like something's missing. It's just not a great beer. Can anyone look at the recipe and see anything obvious? I can't put my finger on it...

These are the first labels I've ever designed and I'm needing some honest feedback. What changes need to be made?

Its my first one so take it easy but I'm open to any recommendations

I am looking to have a logo designed for my homebrewery. I have a picture that I want to somehow incorporate in the logo. To go along with that I have 4 styles of beers that I would like to have labels created for. I have a picture for each of these that I would like incorporated into the...

Would this be a total nightmare or could this work? Sorry I'm pretty new at doing my own recipes so I'm experimenting alot to learn more and it sometimes feels like a shot in the dark Ingredients 5.50 lb Amber Dry Extract (12.5 SRM) 1.50 lb Extra Light Dry Extract (3.0 SRM) 0.50 lb...

I started homebrewing not too long ago. Have done 7 or 8 extract kits with pretty good results. This is my first shot at coming up with an extract recipe of my own and hoping to take that next step in homebrewing. It's my play on a red. Please tell me your thoughts. (and hopefully be gentle)...

I recently brewed a Simcoe IPA. This was my first IPA to brew. I have gotten mixed signals online. Some say to drink IPA's young, about 2 weeks after bottling, so as to not have the hops fade away. Others have said let it age 8-12 weeks before drinking. What is everyone's opinion? I have...

This is a simcoe IPA. 2 1/2 weeks in the primary and everything was looking good. I racked to the secondary and its been about a week now and this started developing yesterday. Is this mold? If it is can I still bottle the beer underneath the surface of the mold? I'd hate to see it all go...

I just recently completed my first home brew. It's a nut brown ale that I had in the primary for 2 weeks, the secondary for 1 week, and in the bottle for 3 weeks now. I messed up when bottling my beer and measured out 3/4 cup of sugar using a kitchen measuring cup instead of putting 2 and 2...
