I am thinking of adding some cherries to a belgian strong ale. I had one of these and thought it was great even though I usually don't like fruity beer. The one I had was this one Tres Fem from http://halesbrewery.com/brews.htm I have come up with a recipe but I am not sure how many cherries to...

After tasting this beer, http://halesbrewery.com/brews.htm I have decided to make a similar one for myself. Morebeer now has a kit, (see below), but I want to come up with my own recipe. I was thinking of adding (thawed), frozen pie cherries to the secondary. I am just wondering how much to add...

I'm doing a Pliny the elder like beer and have about 3 gallons on a 3 gallon carboy. I've never dry hopped with this large of amount of hops before and didn't think about how much space 3 ounces of whole leaf hops would take up. I could reduce my dry hop amount, which would lessen the aroma or...

I just tasted the final gravity sample of a Belgian wheat ale I made as a holiday Beer. Apparently 1 tsp of cardamom is too much for a 4 gal batch. It came through too strong. The beer looks great, fermented well but is almost undrinkable. I might re-brewing my Christmas beer this year. I...

A relative of mine is giving me a 2.5 gallon keg. I've been brewing 3 gallon batches lately using a 5 gallon carboy for primary and a 3 gallon for a secondary for the beers that I dry hop etc. Is a 3 gallon carboy too large to use as a secondary for a 2.5 gallon batch?

I've searched the forum and I can't find the right answer for this one... I brew 3 gallon batches because I like the smaller size as I am the only beer drinker in the house and I can brew more often. I have a mini fridge that holds one keg, (5 gal). I have two 5 gallon kegs and don't really...

I brewing a Belgian Wheat/Pale about 12 days ago. The original gravity was 1.062 and the Final according to Beer Alchemy should be 1.012. I am at around 1.014. I've only done one gravity check, (today) and am wondering if I am at the final gravity after 12 days. I have never used this yeast...
