I'm planning a trip from Philly to Outer Banx in NC next week. I'm starting to look at my route now, and was curious if any of you out there had any brewery suggestions for me to hit up on the way down. I'll definitely be hitting Dogfish head in DE and possibly Clipper City (Heavy Seas) in...

I have strep throat and am stuck in the house. I have a dark mild ale that is ready for bottling and I am super bored with nothing to do. If I ensure proper sanitation techniques are followed (which i would anyway, really) and take extra care not to breathe into the bucket. do you think i'm...

Hi everyone! I'm about to brew my first all grain batch, and I've run into a bit of a problem. Turns out, I don't have a hot liquor tank. I didn't think I'd really need it, and just kind of saw it as a way to make the homebrew shops more money. I just figured i'd use my kettle and everything...

Which hops do you guys think are the most citrusy?

I brewed a brown ale that is about 8.5%. FG was about 1.012 if I remember correctly, then at bottling time I added a half ounce of hazelnut extract. Also added 4 oz priming sugar, boiled for a min or so. Now, 3 weeks later, I have very little carbonation. When I do a rigorous pour, I get no...

I feel stupid for asking this, but I can't figure it out. I've noticed in a few brew pubs, they have listed the OG of the brew that they made. I know what the OG means while I home brew, but these numbers that they provide don't make any sense to me at all. See this link for an example...

Hey Guys, I have 6 brews under my belt now, so I'm starting to really understand how this whole thing works, which is totally awesome. Please correct me if I'm misinformed, but the way I understand it when it comes to hop additions: ~60 minutes creates a bitter taste, ~25 minutes adds nice...

In my brewing experience, I've brewed 3 kits so far. For my first non-kit brew, I decided to go with what I'm dubbing a nutella brown ale, using chocolate malt and hazelnut extract. Has anyone out there used a nut extract before? Which part of the process should I add it in? The end of the...

I'm ordering some ingredients online for my first non-kit brew. I'm doing an extract nut brown, and it calls for half a pound of chocolate malt. On morebeer it has 2 types, milled or unmilled. Which should I get for extract? Or does it always have to be milled, they just supply unmilled so...

Hey all! A friend of mine is looking to get started into the wonderful world of brewing. He has a strong desire to start off AG, as it goes with his whole cooking philosophy. I only have 2 batches under my belt, both being extract, so I am way too big of a noob to have any sound advice for...

I'm totally confused. When is adding oxygen good (aeration) and when is it bad (oxygenation)? I was under the impression that as long as your brew isn't hot, everything should be fine. I guess I'm just asking, what is the definition of each? I had a potentially stuck fermentation on an...

Hey everyone! My name is Brian. A buddy and I have been talking about getting into homebrewing for years. We ran into a little extra money, so yesterday, we went to the supply store nearby and purchased a brewer's best starter set and 3 ingredient kits. (marzen, oatmeal stout, and an ipa) We...
