Is ABA a BarleyWine? Such a high ABV...but not quite as high as some other BW's. Are 'American Stong Ale' and 'Barleywine' one and the same or no?

I brewed a SN Big Foot Clone yesterday, with a SG of 1.094 (sheet said should have been 1.097)...I must have added just a touch more water. I know that it will take months, even a year or more, to reach it's potential, but am wondering if the primary and secondary fermentation schedule...

I have an extract stout (William's Stout) in my secondary; It was in primary for a week, just finished first week in secondary. When I racked it to secondary the gravity was a bit higher than sheet says it should be, yet the bubbling was few and far between. 1.025, sheet says should be 1.121...

I am a new brewer and trying to learn all that I can. I have been finding some good sites and went ahead and created a search engine, that is a work in process, related to beer and brewing. Maybe it will help some folks find information from sites which I see linked from here quite often. It...

Is there anyplace to purchase craft brews online or via the phone? I live in a very rural area of West Virginia...I am fortunate to have access to Sam Adams, Great Lakes, some Red Hook and hit or miss on Sierra Nevada. Would love to get a bottle or two of some of the beers I read about on...

I have been reading about smoked porters and would be interested in trying one. At this point, I do not have the knowledge or equipment to do a full-grain which it appears would be required to homebrew a smoked porter. Thanks!

My wife kinda likes SA Cherry Wheat, wanting to brew something for her... I have two extract kits, and some extract flavorings. Let me know what you think might work, or not... One kit is a Honey Ale, the other is a "Lawnmower" Lager. I am thinking of doing the Honey Ale with Blackberry...

Sorry, sure some of you are tired of reading my posts already. Poured my stout onto the yeast cake from my Pale Ale, three hours later and getting bubbles. I hope it continues and it works out. I sanitized the lid, airlock etc....but was unsure of what, if anything, I needed to do with the...

I will be putting a stout on top of a yeast cake from a pale ale. Wondering how soon, or how much time I might have, between siphoning the pale ale into secondary and pouring the stout onto the yeast cake. Would I have a couple of hours, perhaps overnight, that the yeast would be ok...or...

Should I just pour my wort and then seal up the fermenter? Or should it be stirred up? I will be putting a Stout on top of a Pale Ale... Thanks all for the help!:mug:

I did a couple searches and could not find specific answers, so thought I would ask... Can someone explain the purpose, and method, of a secondary ferment? I am using a bucket fermenter with the 'tap' at the bottom to allow me to use a hose to move the fermented beer to a bottling bucket...
