A week ago saturday I made a 5 gallon batch of 1.090 pumpkin ale and pitched 2 packets of S-04. Foolishly, I put it in a 10 gallon carboy, and can't reach down far enough to take a gravity reading (carboy shape is round and wide, so the beer is too far down for the thief). That said, the...

North of the border our options are limited when it comes to homebrew supplies. This is the only thing I can find that's even remotely close to looking somewhat sensibly priced. Is this a good investment, would I be paying too much? I've been nosing around looking to get my own setup going...

I have been reading up on pumpkin ales and there seems to be a divide between people who feel that the fruit should go in the mash, those who think it should go in boil, and those that feel it should go in the secondary. From what I have read, there seem to be different reasons for or against...

2nd batch - AG IPA. I think I may have butchered this. The LHBS hooked me up with hops that had AA levels higher than what I was expecting, so I adjusted the recipe the same day to accommodate. I think I may have completely bungled the hop schedule though. 10# Maris Otter 1# Carafoam 1#...

Thoughts? Comments? I just meandered through my LHBS online supply and came up with this: 10lbs. Maris Otter 1lb. Honey Malt 1lb. Caramel/Crystal 40L 1oz. Brewer's Gold 8.1 AA (60 min) 1oz. Challenger 7.5 AA (60 min) 1oz. East Kent Goldings 5.0 AA (30 min) 1oz. Yakima Kent Goldings 5.2 AA...

No pics, but I hope that maybe someone has had this happen: It seems the airlock dried out on one of our carboys of white wine sometime in the last week (it should have been bottled a while ago but schedules haven't allowed it). The wine has become cloudy and there seems to be a very thin film...

I asked this question in the thread for the recipe itself a few days ago but got no response, so I figure I'll ask here: I'm going to be making this: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f126/black-pearl-porter-ag-24243/ And the mash schedule is copy and pasted as such (for a 5 gallon batch)...

Ok, so I have acquired most of this stuff, and I will be picking up the rest when I go to the LHBS to gets my ingredients. This will be my first homebrew. Am I missing anything? All the ingredients for this recipe: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f126/black-pearl-porter-ag-24243/ Mashing...

I have checked the website of every canadian big-box store but have not been able to find a 10 gallon cooler. So, short of spending an arm and a leg on importing one to make into a MLT, I'm looking at other options. Right now, the best I can do is a 12.5 gallon cooler. I have read the...
