I helped a friend brew a beer and it missed it's OG mark by quite a bit. The beer has been fermenting since this Saturday. The LHBS was closed due to the Holiday and today would be the first chance I have to go get DME to add to the beer to bring up to the OG we were shooting for. How long do...

I'm brewing as I type and I am trying to get mash to temp but its low at 149 target temp is 152. I already added an extra gallon of hot water to get it to 149 and will just subtract that from the sparge. I am not sure if adding even more water to get it up to 152 will do more damage then good...

I will be heading to DFW for a wedding Mid-July. I was hoping to get some insight from some locals as far as good places to visit brewery/Pubfood wise as well as fun things to do on the cheap. I don't mind some touristy stuff but I prefer to hit the places that are fun and not packed with...

I just read an article about adjusting your recipes for judging. I personally have never brewed the same beer twice but I have only been brewing for a year and a half. I wanted to know some processes or best practices for refining a recipe that you enjoyed. I would like to continue to brew new...

I have two questions regarding big beers: 1) I have a Belgian Quad with a SG of 1.106. After 5 weeks it is sitting at 1.030. The alcohol is present and so is the sweetness from the caramel is present. Is this a normal FG for a big beer or should it have attenuated more? 2) I purchased...

Hi this will be my first attempt to doing a cider. I had Angry Orchard Crisp Hard Cider and posted on that thread with no replies so I figured I would start a new thread since I would like to get this going no later than tomorrow. Below is my post that has been copied and pasted: So I had...

O I am getting ready to rack my dubbel on my cherries and per the brewer at my LHBS; thaw my cherries and mash them up with a potato masher. After that sprinkle the pectic enzyme on the cherries and let that do its work. How long does the pectic enzyme take to work on four pounds of cherries...

I was doing a bit of reading and Randy Mosher suggested using lower AA hops in higher quantities rather than using high AA hops like CTZ, specifically for pale ales. As I am heading to the LHBS this afternoon, I wanted to reach out to the community and see if anyone does this approach and...

I am going to be putting a trappist ale on 4 lbs. of black cherries and four pounds on tart cherries. The only place in Colorado that sales frozen tart cherries here is holding them to make their own pies. I can't find any suppliers online that have any available due to the crops taking a hit...

I have been itching to do a smoked turkey for quite some time now. I brined it overnight in a salt water solution and gave it a good rub down with olive oil and some homemade rub. Threw it in the smoker @270F and spritzed it with spicy V8, red rye P.A. Came out pretty good, not enough smoke for...

So I did my first partial 11 lbs. grain bill 1 lb wheat DME for 5 gal. batch. And, I am not sure the extent of the damage I had done. Beersmith said to bring my strike temp up 204*°F for my grain that was at 81°F. When adding the grain, it brought my temp down to 191°F. So I freaked out a bit...
