I wound up brewing a cider last Friday night for the first time, and was wondering if I could get some feedback or if anyone could bring any issues to my attention. I'd also like to know if I should add clove, and if so, how much for a subtle and just noticeable effect? My process started by...

I'm planning on brewing a simple and stupid mango saison, and was hoping for some feedback. I'm most worried about what the effects of using a fairly low amount of a single malt (with a bit of flaked barley for head and body). I also want to end up with a very bright, fruity and refreshing beer...

I'm looking to brew a crisp & fruity mango saison for spring, and could use some feedback. Here is what I'm working with so far: Batch: ~4 gallons. No sparging (keeping it simple and stupid in a small apartment). Grain 3# Briess light LME 3# Pilsner malt 2# Mango Puree 5 oz Flaked...

Last weekend I was able to squeeze in a batch, but due to time constraints and a couple far too complicated batches in the recent past (stalled fermentation, bottle bombs), I decided to keep things as simple and stupid as possible. I am wondering if you all could let me know just how stupid I...

Hello all, I had a very high final gravity with a KBS Clone (1.040) when I bottled, and opened a bottle tonight to check on my carbonation and see if the beer is still too sweet. I added about a pint of Rye along with a packet of ec-1118 when bottling. Gravity is now 1.032 out of a bottle...

I set out to brew a decent belgian and after 1 1/2 weeks my gravity is stuck at 1.030 (stable for three days, ABV ~9%). I have the fermenter at about 78 degrees and have been rocking it a couple times per day. I pitched 2 rehydrated packets of t-58, along with a smack pack of 3787. I...

I eat a lot of Kashi Go Lean Crunch, and I like beer. I have also been brewing some complicated and expensive high gravity recipes lately, and would like to try something cheap and easy. I was wondering if I could mash a box of breakfast cereal, add some hops, pitch some US-05 and be good to go?

I set out to brew a Belgian last Wednesday, and tossed in two rehydrated sachets of T-58 along with one smack pack of Wyeast 3787 at the suggestion of my local home brew shop. The first few days of fermentation required a blow off tube despite ~1 gallon of headspace, and left 6 inches of junk...

This is my first IIPA, but brewing isn't fun if it's not ambitious. I'm going for refreshing like an IPA with pine and grapefruit etc., but better suited for grilled food and summer nights. Something that could be a palate cleanser for a cigar, incorporating subtle notes of oak and peat roasted...

For my third batch I decided to work off of the KBS theme, and brew an oatmeal stout. My OG came in at 1.124, which I checked multiple times, and I pitched 2 sachets of (rehydrated) safale 05. I have read that safale 05 has a tolerance of 11%, but has been pushed a couple points higher per...
