I am interested in learning more about how mash pH and kettle pH affect hoppy beers, particularly if I am shooting for the "Northeast"-style IPA. I was discussing a few things with a professional brewer last night, and he mentioned the following regarding his hoppy beers (which are excellent)...

I am looking to buy about a liter of defoamer, but I am having difficulty finding a source. Anybody know of a place that sells this by the liter?

I have recently procured a large amount of Briess Traditional Dark DME, and I am looking for some recipes that use dark DME for the bulk of the fermentables. The recipe can include other things as well, but I am trying to find some creative uses for this DME. I am an all-grain brewer, so it's...

As the title states, I am trying to solicit a few opinions here. Most of the homebrew clubs in my state have "joined forces" to create a competition circuit, with each club hosting a competition that is part of the circuit. Points are given and at the end of the year, there is a "brewer of the...

I am looking for a growler tap (similar to this) that fits a Fifty/Fifty Lifeline model 7500 growler. This is one of the "wide mouth" 64 oz. stainless steel growlers, similar to the Hydro Flask. Does anybody know if such a product exists? It can be a picnic tap or a faucet; I am just looking...

As the title states, I am selling several varieties of hops in an attempt to clear some space in my freezer. All hops are pellets unless otherwise stated. All hops have been kept vacuum-sealed and in a freezer, and will be sent to you vacuum-sealed. They are split up into 3 tiers, with tier 1...

I have fresh GITM (bottled 3/2/2015) for trade. I also have several bottles of 2014 BCBS. If you want something else, ask and I may have access to it. I am looking for beers from the following breweries: Russian River Bell's Alchemist Ale Smith Oskar Blues But I am open to other trades...

I have a brand new Governor dual gauge CO2 regulator in retail box. $50 plus actual shipping cost (or local pickup near Baton Rouge, LA). These are $70 at Midwest and Northern Brewer, so this is almost a 30 percent discount. Satisfaction guaranteed.

My freezer is getting pretty full, and I have more than enough hops for the near future, so I am looking to trade some of what I have. Currently, I have: 2013 Perle @ 7.5% - 12 oz. 2012 4190 (Experimental) @ 3.6% - 12 oz. 2012 Cascade @ 6.4% - 8 oz. 2012 Chinook @ 11.4% - 2 oz. 2012 CTZ @...

I recently built a fermentation chamber out of an old cabinet and a 1.7 CF mini fridge. It's the typical setup that you see, where the door of the fridge is taken off and the front of the fridge is inside the fermentation chamber, with a computer fan circulating the air around. It's large...

I accidentally bought a 5-pack of these off eBay thinking that I was only ordering one. I can't return the extra ones, so I am going to keep 2 of them (meaning that I have 3 for sale). I am selling them for $20 shipped to the contiguous 48 states (PM me if you live elsewhere and we can work...

I have a Pliny the Elder clone that is in secondary right now and a few days into the first dry hop. I am dry-hopping with pellet hops, just loose in the carboy (no hop bag). I am thinking that since there is SO much hop particulate, I should probably keg this brew and then filter it, but I'm...

I brewed an AB clone (or close enough for my purposes, anyways) with an OG of about 1.074. It was a 5-gallon batch (maybe slightly more, but not much) and I pitched a fresh packet of rehydrated Danstar Windsor (I know...). Fermentation started off rather vigorously, within a matter of hours...

Against my better judgement, I decided to try my luck with a "lite" beer. 2-row barley, fairly high percentage of flaked corn, hopped with Williamette...nothing too unusual. I used dry yeast (Saflager W34/70) for this one, and put it in primary for somewhere between 2 and 3 weeks at 45ºF or...

Yesterday I brewed AHS's Apocalypso mini-mash kit. Basically like a slightly lighter IPA. I had a few small mason jars with some Danstar Nottingham yeast I had washed from a previous batch. Being my first time washing yeast, I'm not sure that I got enough yeast to ferment this batch (6 gallon...

I've accumulated more ingredients than I probably need, and I'd like to come up with some recipes so I can clear out some space in my office/storeroom. I'd love to hear what some of the more experienced brewers can come up with given the list of ingredients I have. Whoever comes up with the...

I currently have 2 beers in secondary. One is an Oktoberfest that was put in primary on 5/21 then racked to secondary on 5/25. I added gelatin finings and it has been lagering since 6/1. The other beer is a Blonde Ale that I put in primary on 5/25, then racked onto about 4 lbs. of peach...

I've heard that some people like to cut a small amount off the dip tube on their corny kegs. The idea is that since the tube is shorter, less trub will be sucked up into it. Does anybody here do that? I'm going to be kegging my first beer in a few weeks, and have some concerns about trub...

Not sure where to put this, but the Recipes forum seemed as good as any. Anyways, some background info: I brewed this today, on my girlfriend's birthday. She's blonde (like the ale), and of German descent (like Hallertau) and Irish descent (like the moss). So I figured I would name this...
