Yeah, having taken multiple hydrometer readings for different parts of the wort and at different times during the transfer to the fermentor, I keep getting the same result. My light lager has now become less so. 17# Pilsen (Dingemans) 1# Biscuit (Dingemans) .5# Melanoiden 1oz Pearle (90...

So I have 15 gallons of beer in waiting until my kegerator opens up. I typically cold crash for a week or two, but since I don't have room should I just keep the kegs stored at lagering temps or bump them up to serving temp until I need them? Does it matter? (also, they are not carbed, it's okay...

So I pitched my Maibock last Friday around midnight, slowly raised my temp to 50 degrees in the first 48 hours and fermentation slowed by Wednesday a.m. I did a diacetyl rest at 60 degrees for the past couple days for safety. After some immediate activity, the airlock has stopped altogether...

So I'm happy with the grains/hops but I'm not sure on the proportions, additions etc. This is only my second hack at an original recipe. Any input would be welcome. How's the honey, carapils, crystal, ratio? Any one more or less than the other? I'd like it to have some body at 154 degrees, too...

A little weekend project I'm doing. Still need to add a couple faucets and perhaps a FrankinFridge stencil or something, under the faucets....

What are some of your favorite hops? Combinations of hops? Times, additions, characteristics, etc? Some are great alone but when paired with anothers become even better. I have a supply of Cascade, EKG, Amarillo, Columbus, Hallertauer, Mt. Hood, Perle, Santiam, Sterling, Williamette, Fuggles and...

Here's a rye recipe I'm working on. I'm still toying with hop additions and times, as well as boil time. Definitely want it to center on the rye and have some layers to it (at least 38% centered). I've never tried juniper berries. Anything huge I'm missing here? Thanks. Batch Size: 11.00...

I just brewed a partial mash 1554 Black ale kit from AHS and instead of a Black ale it looks more like a brown, quite brown. What gives? I did boil a full 5 gallons for the first time, instead of the 2.5 the directions called for. I had the pot size so I figured I'd go for it. The grain bill...
