So, I made a scottish ale. OG was 1.034 so I was thinking I'd enter it as a 60 shilling. However at bottling I found the FG to have settled at 1.014 (Probably fermented a bit too cool.) So my FG was a point to high to be a 60 shilling and my OG was a point low to be a 70 so where would you...

Hi All, I'm looking to build a relatively simple HLT. I'm not interested in directly heating the mash or doing step mashes. Don't intend to use a pump. I'll use gravity. My goal is simply to set controller to a desired strike/sparge temperature and wait. Would a simple heat stick like...

I brewed my first sour about six weeks ago. A flanders red, fermented with Wyeast Roselare. Last week I brewed a blonde that'll get some brett brux in the secondary along with fruit (pluots). This past weekend the flanders went into secondary, and I washed the yeast. (BTW. Hydrometer...

Brewed a beer this weekend and to my dismay I opened the fridge to find I didn't have the yeast I though I did. It was late Saturday night and there' no place open on Sunday. All I had on hand was some yeast that I'd washed and saved that was pretty old. Maybe 6 months? It didn't look fresh...

Hey All, Was helping a friend move the other night and he gave me all of the brewing perishables that were laying around. This included a couple cans of hopped ipa extract. I plan on making an IPA for a party and using this along with a partial mash of some two row, biscuit and crystal...

So, From the national homebrew big brew I've got 10 gallons of Bucksnort brown. I'm kegging 5 gal as is for a party. But I wanted to do something else with the other 5 gallons in secondary. Here's the recipe for those unfamiliar... Bucksnort Brown Ale – All Grain American...

I've been reading up on turbid mashes for lambics and other belgian brews. Instead using water additions to hit all of the steps after pulling off some starchy wort and heating it, couldn't you just do a Brew in a bag kind of thing and directly apply heat to raise the temps. It seems that...

I'm thinking of doing a large batch of a saison. Probably 8 gallons after boil. 5 gallons of that would get a large starter of Dupont strain (wyeast) The other 3 gallons would go into a carboy along with 1.5 Gallons from a sour mash that I'll have had in process. Pitch some T-58. As...

Planning a Dark Saison. I'd planned on adding Brett C in the secondary. However, I may not have the spare carboy to rack it into. Is it a viable option to just pitch the brett into the same fermenter after a couple of weeks in primary. Anyone else done it that way. I think I've read...

Graduating in June (hopefully). Gonna have a party, So I'd like this to be my first homebrew fueled party. I should have 3 kegs available and I've also got tons of bottles. So maybe I'll do more than 3 beers. Probably looking at a mix of friends and family, some into craftish beer, some...

Just racked to secondary after a month in the primary. Yeast was us-05 cake washed and pitched at the appropriate rate according to Mr. Malty. The sample tasted good. Not sweet or syrupy. The style guidelines show 1.03 as the max FG. But I thought I'd attenuate a little better. Not...

I'm doing a wort chiller project and calculations are stalled out due to an inability to find something I can use for thermal conductivity of the unfermented wort. Anybody have a guess? I've done lots of internet searching but no luck thus far. Thanks.

Deadline for this beer would be for a bock competition. Do I have enough time or did I procrastinate too much. Wait if it's a bock I guess I'll call it PROCRASTINATOR. Also this would be my first lager... Thanks.

Greetings All. I'm designing a new wort chiller for my senior design project. I'd greatly appreciate anybody who'd be willing to take the following survey. Just quote this post and type your answer right next to each feature. Thanks guys. WORT CHILLER CUSTOMER SURVEY Please take a few...

Generally speaking what features are you looking for in a wort chiller. I'm doing a wort chiller design for my senior project and I'm assembling a list of customer requirements. Part of that process is interviewing prospective future customers. I thought a thread like this would be the...

Pretty sure this would go in the specialty beer category but I thought I'd get an opinion first. It's a cream ale with additions of ourange peel and vanilla bean. I thought for a second about the spice beer category but I think vanilla and orange are considered flavorings more so than...

Well, I bottled my American Pale Ale this weekend. Looked at the priming sugar calculator on TastyBrew and in my haste instead of using the fermenting temperature I used the beer's current temperature. Since I'd just cold crashed it that was about 40 degrees. Consequently I've gone back...

Entering my final year of Mechanical Engineering College and I'm considering doing a form of improvement on current methods of wort chillers out there for homebrewing. Is there a wort chiller that you use and there's an aspect or feature of it that you wish it had? Or maybe something that it...

I was talking with a friend after listening to an old Homebrew Podcast. We got onto the idea of skipping the bucket. I know you could use the carbonation drops but those seem kind of expensive to spend-thrift like me. I like the idea of measuring out your sugar and boiling it with water...
