We started with a pretty simple American wheat style (all grain). And after primary we added 3 lbs of organic blueberries (OG was 1.058). Fermented madly. Last year we did this same recipe and we DID put 4 oz of priming sugar and got mini volcanoes from our bottles when opened. When...

Hey guys, I have been hearing that Amarillo hops are becoming so popular that the stockpiles will be totally sold out very very soon this year. Is this true? This stinks since I, like most homebrewers, dry hop with a ton of the green gold called Amarillo. any ideas on other really...

The last rye beer I tried failed to have any real rye flavor to me. Here is the same recipe that I have almost doubled my rye and I want to know if 23% of my grain bill being Rye is crazy or a little odd. I'm ok with ODD. I just don't want to mess up the batch completely. 7.50 lb...

Started an American IPA about 8 days ago - Transferred last night into secondary fermenter and added 1oz of Hops for Dry Hopping. I will be leaving the state for about 10 days on the 23rd of December. Is it ok that my beer sit in the secondary fermenter for about 2.5-3 straight weeks...

I was doing a Mini-Mash IPA yesterday. The instructions that came from my local home-brew store came WITHOUT and temp to mash the grains. So, I went online and from some other recipes that I had seen an average temp of about 158-160 seemed to be the average. Question 1: How do I figure out...
