I am contemplating brewing up a double white ipa of sorts. I know this will be a bit tricky due to the nature of a white ipa but am looking for a challenge. I haven't been able to find anything on a double white ipa but was curious as to what you guys think some challenges and/or best...

Just popped open my first dry hopped beer. I swear, I re-fall in love with homebrew with every batch. They just get better- and better- and better with every one. Cheers.:mug:

There is always at least 1 emergency in need of fixing when bottling? Whether it be a spill, lack of caps, or lets say today's emergency where I sat the carboy down on the counter (gently mind you) and watch a crack sprawl up the side..... Don't worry, I got the beer out in time. But yeah...

Brewed an IPA and after 1 week of conditioning its great. However, I don't want to drink it if it will get better. At the same time, It's not overly hoppy, if it lost any of the hop flavor, I don't think it would be nearly as good. How quickly does the hop flavor begin to fade?

Alright so maybe not the greatest but it's the best beer(s) I have had. These were my 3rd and fourth batches to date. A red ale and ipa. They are fantastic!! What's weird though is they have only been conditioning for 1 week. Question: should I just have at them then or still wait to put them...

Red ale. Racked and bottled a few days ago. What was weird is I got 55 beers out of a 5 gallon batch. I didn't even get all of it. I did taste it and it tasted great. Didn't seem watered down. Additionally, I know I topped it off to the 5 gallon mark before fermentation because I am anal about...

Red Ale. Krausen gone after 4 days. Already hit TG. It has cleared up a bit and is about 1 1/2 weeks into primary. Should I wait to hit the 3 week period to bottle or just get it into bottles at the 2 weeks period since it already looks very clear? Thanks.

I am a nerd. through and through. I want to make a beer that deserves the title of: Natural 20 IPA. Where should we start gentlemen(and ladies : D )?

Currently having my first experience with temp control. Got two batches going right now, one being a IPA using us-05 and the other being a red ale using WL005. My question is, when I take temp readings of the water, do I need to shoot for lower than my goal due to the ferment creating heat? or...

Using Muntons Active brewing Yeast. Not sure if it's the best yeast to be using or not. Seen good and bad about it. Need a verdict. Brewing in the morning so a quick response and resolution would be very much so appreciated.

Great news! SWMBO chose a beer recipe she wants me to make - and she wants to assist with it. Anyone else had this rare occurrence happen and how did it go?

I live in an area that can get pretty dang hot. I cant really ferment my beer below 70. I also do not have any kind of fridge or temp controller besides my house AC. Anyone know of any tricks for controlling temp in this sort of setting?

Just made a black berry porter. Got it bottled. I am not sure how long I should let it bottle condition for. I have heard that fruit beers have a time limit on them before they take a decline in flavor. I tasted a little while I was bottling and it was very apparent it will be a tasty beer...

This is my second beer Ive brewed. The recipe I was making called for brewers licorice stick (1") to be boiled in at the beginning of the boil when the DME is added. I went with licorice root (1 ounce) instead because it was what was available at my local shop I overlooked the Licorice...

Just recently picked up brewing. When I thought about doing it, I knew it would be perfect for me. Started with a brewkit to get a handle on the general process. Made an IPA. It is on week two of carbonating in bottles. Next up, gonna go big with a Blackberry Porter. I'll let you guys...
