Howdy. I'm bent on making a Pumpkin Stout, and this is before my pumpkin ale is even done bottle-conditioning. Here's what I'm thinkin: I want to make a mini-batch, around 2.5-3 gallons, since I have a 5-gal cooler mash tun. This keeps the price mucho cheepo! And keeps me from having to...

So I pitched yeast to my IPA on Sunday afternoon this past weekend, and it didn't really start fermenting until Monday evening. It's been fermenting happily, with about 1" to 1.5" of krausen on top of the wort. (5 gallons in a 6 gallon better bottle mind you). It has stayed that way for the past...

I'm planning on brewing a saison in a couple weeks, and (for the first time) would like some refipe feedback *before* I brew. ;) I want to do a stovetop partial mash a la DeathBrewer. I'm thinking as light of DME (does pilsener dme exist?) as I can get and Vienna for the rest. Target OG...

Following in the footsteps of my Amarillo Single-Hop IPA, I've tweaked the recipe a little bit. The Amarillo IPA was very good overall, but there were a few things I felt needed adjusting this time around. I want a little more malt flavor, as the malt profile of the Amarillo is very much subdued...

Hello all! I tried something yesterday that I want to get some feedback on... I've been going to the local market and getting 5 gallons of reverse osmosis de-ionized water for brewing, since I'm just doing extract+steeping grains at the moment. Obviously that water would not be conducive to...

I don't know what I can do to save this beer... I took today off cuz, hey, why not, and decided to brew a beer. I had some grains lying around and some hops in the freezer, and decided to see what I could come up with. I was adding a little extra Black Patent to the steep, and I accidentally the...

I have found several threads on this forum and elsewhere in the wide wide world of intarwebs that speak about, but fail to adequately address this topic: My IPA finished the most vigorous part of it's fermentation cycle, and during said segment I was using a blowoff tube. The 5 gallon carboy...

The night after I brew a batch of beer, I dream of bubbling carboys. I wake up the next morning and run to the bathroom where the fermenter sits like it's Christmas morning, giddy with the excitement of seeing yeast having a party in that big glass bottle. I think of 10 or 15 new things I...

Hello everyone at HBT. I've been lurking for a couple months now, absorbing all sorts of wisdom from the sages on this forum :) Here's my issue. I brewed a porter, a kit from my LHBS. Boiled fine (maybe a bit low volume), aerated fine, pitched fine, very strong fermentation @ ~72F, primary...
