Sorry for the shameless self-promotion... A buddy and I started a podcast and while it isn't strictly about beer, our first full episode is an interview with a friend who writes a beer review column. We touch a bit on home brewing but mostly it's about the rise of craft beer. Hope you like...

Thanks! Might be my problem here is semantic - poking around a little more on the boards it looks like I'm trying to make a WPA or American Wheat rather than an APA? A few of the Gumballhead clones and recipes like it use somewhere in the neighborhood of 50/50 with the wheat, it seems. Good...

I picked up iBrewMaster with the intention of making my first recipe from scratch. I've done a few kits and recipes, even some all-grain, but my goals here were: - To create something relatively simple with a low boil volume (I live in an apartment now so it's harder to do a full boil than when...

Hi everyone. Sorry if this has been definitively answered. Is there a consensus on length of bottle conditioning for this recipe? Mine's only been bottled for about a week but having read all the glowing reviews I'm really itching to try some. I found a post that said it was good after a week...

Heya BierMuncher. After searching around under "Simple all-grain" I've landed on your recipe for my first attempt at an all-grain batch (I've done about a half-dozen extract brews; time to take the next step). Thanks so much for sharing! = DM =

Yeah, it definitely had a good head on it and decent carbonation. I'll take you fellas' advice, though and let it go longer. It can only get better, right? Thanks for the advice!

Thanks! So in general, high OG = long bottle-conditioning time? Curiosity got the better of me last night and I popped one open. It had a pretty frothy head on it and seemed carbonated.

Hi all. Disclaimer: I'm still pretty new, so be gentle. :) I have a Brewer's Best Belgian Tripel kit beer all bottled up. It's been two weeks since bottling. The OG was around 1.090 (a touch higher than suggested) and the FG turned out about 1.022 (a bit higher than suggested, but frankly I...

Such prompt responses! Love this board. Thanks all, for alleviating my worry.

Hi all. Brewing my second batch, a honey wheat, and this happened to the fermentation lock atop the primary: http://flic.kr/p/9jKGYt It's a 6+ gal. bucket so I didn't think I needed a blowoff tube, but with the yellow muck and crusty suds on the lock I'm guessing I should have used one? Looks...

Here we go Packers, here we go! *clap clap* = DM =

Had a number of newb questions and every Google led me here at some point. You guys know your stuff!

Hi all. Glad to have found this site - looks very active and helpful. I've already found some good info on making a home-built wort chiller, among other things. Looking forward to searching the vast database of knowledge and asking plenty of newb questions. I have my first batch fermenting as...
