I experimented with potassium metabisulfite in my latest batch by adding 1/4 of a teaspoon to a 5 gallon batch. it's kegged and carbed but it smells like sulfur. The taste is more forgiving but I still get a little sulfur in the taste. How can I get rid of this, or can I? It's been about a week...

Hey all I recently saw a commercial beer profile where the potassium (K) amount read 1226 PPM. Looking at my water profile I only have 2 ppm of potassium. How would I achieve the higher amount? I realize that this question might bring some responses such as, "you don't need it," but any help...

Inspired by Everett, I want to make a robust porter that's got a ton of flavor while still being balanced. I've seen the BYO clone recipe, and others, but I kinda wanted to do my own thing. I'd like to hear your thoughts on it! batch size: 6 gallons OG: 1.084 FG: 1.025 IBUs: 53 SRM: 40...

I am wildly impressed with everything that comes out of Tree House Brewing, but Eureka stood out for me because of its super low abv (3.9%), full bodied mouth feel and a ton of flavors. It's exceptionally well balanced and makes for a great summer beer. I brewed this with Azacca hops but feel...

HBT community, Need some input on what could go wrong with my situation that just happened recently. I didn't realize I was missing the centerpiece and lid of my 3-piece airlock after my fermentation finished. It was likely like this for maybe a week. As soon as I realized it I purged the...

Has anyone had experience with using a scale to accurately measure wort during their brewing process? I have marks on my fermenter and a wooden stick with notches, but I'm curious to know if anyone tried throwing their carboy onto a scale and then racking the wort in order to get a more precise...

I'm having a problem filtering my beer where the beer is not being pushed out of the first keg to go through the filter and into the serving keg. I ran a few gallons of starsan through the setup without an issue, leaving the filter out of the filter housing. I soaked the filter in starsan for...

I have, at most, 15" of clearance on my stove and I want a 10 gallon aluminum kettle that's around 13" in hight. Anyone have any suggestions? I found S/S ones online but I would rather not spend that much on the pot. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Hey all I'm doing an apricot wheat beer now and I'm going to be adding puree to a secondary in a few days and I wanted to know if anyone here has had experience with making their own puree? I'm thinking it's going to be a pita to make sure everything is sanitized throughout the whole...
