The github thread on this issue with First Wort Hops is closed, https://github.com/Brewtarget/brewtarget/issues/177 There seems to be some confusion about when or if this issue is fixed. According to the thread, it's fixed in 2.3.1, but on the download page...

On the west side. Found one clear down in Security but would rather not make the drive. I have a house guest who is a Kombucha connoisseur and would like to see if I can get one going in the next day or two.

I recently picked up some star san from the lhbs and it's consistency is like maple syrup. I imagine the warehouse was not heated and it was frozen at some point, but I expected it to soften up when stored at room temp, but a month later and it's still like honey. I've been using it but wondered...

So I did a sour mash berlinner weisse, and the mash tastes like sour lemonade. I boiled it down to 5.5 gal over about 1:45 and added hops at ~15 min. Everything looks good except the gravity. Pre sour, the gravity was 1.029 with a volume of 7.73 gal. I did not measure the gravity post sour/pre...

I'm sure this is old news to most on here, but if you are a beginner all grain brewer like me (I have 12 under my belt as of Saturday), one of the difficulties is getting consistency in my volumes. I use brewtarget, and after making some adjustments to my equipment (after about 5 batches...

So I wrote this up to help me measure volumes, specifically strike and sparge water as well as pre boil and post boil volumes. Although I had measured out pre-defined depths, I wanted to be able to know specifically for a given volume, the height in a container and the opposite. Someone's...

Any advantage/disadvantage to doing so? I would guess it might take longer, but might help preserve the clean lager yeast profile. Anyone do this?

This is a re-post of a pretty minor defect, when you create a recipe, then hit Generate Instructions, Step 0 looks like this (partial mash recipes) and here's another one and here's an all grain, where it happens 3 times Not a big deal at all. Calcs/temps appear correct, just a minor...

The title kind of says it. Basically I could justify spending more $$ if my wife could use it for grinding flour :)

I have been doing a lot of yeast harvesting (and washing). The last two yeast harvests I did (New Belgium's Belgo and Abbey Ale) came from beers with an amazing Belgian yeast flavor, however, when I use them in a brew, while they krausen nicely and ferment well, I don't get any of the yeast...

I ordered a keg setup, but was wondering... how do I leave it so during the day my 2 & 5 year olds can't drink my beer or spill it all over the floor? I can put the taps out the side of the fridge, up on a counter top, but my 2 year old son especially is a freaking houdini, so will probably grab...

So I have drank 14 batches of home brewed beer (and a few wines, a mead and even some root beer), and have 2 in the pipeline. Up until now, I have had very controlled fermentations, including some experiments with open fermentation that went very well. I'm pretty good about sanitation; I wash...

I popped a 6 pack in the fridge Sunday and tried this with my neighbors and this IPA is one of my biggest hits so far... https://www.homebrewtalk.com/blogs/wyrmwood/981-beer-13-soma-american-ipa.html

Is there an equivalent of a braggot with Cider? That is, where > 50% of the fermentables come from apples, but is brewed like a beer with hops and barley.

The title pretty much says it. My wife's uncle gave me two corny kegs. What other equipment do I need to use the kegs for beer?

I wasn't quite sure where to post this... but, I have been making chili for a few years now, and been brewing my own beer for almost a year, and it finally dawned on me... why don't I use some of my specialty grains left over from a brew in my chili? I know the grains will be somewhat spent...

There is a layer of sediment in the jars of wort I saved back to prime with. I had always assumed the sediment was yeast with some hops, but evidently there's something rather substantial in there that settles out that sure ain't yeast (since this wort was saved back before I added yeast.) The...

as in the hop.

I am now into double digits :) Brewed 10 beers now. I decided to take a few more notes and pictures on this brew and posted them to my blog. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/blogs/wyrmwood/885-beer-10-sweet-stout.html

My (first) mead was clear as a bell so I bottled yesterday. If interested, you can follow the journey here, https://www.homebrewtalk.com/blogs/wyrmwood/752-mead-1.html. I went ahead and tasted some, even though I fully intend on giving these out at Christmas time. I was very surprised to find...
