There are a lot of recipes out there that use spent grain. To me, spent grain adds nothing but fiber; no flavor at all. But what about non-spent (un-spent?) grain? Tastes great and it seems it would make a nice "oatmeal style" cookie. Has anyone tried it? My google searching lead to only 1...

I'm in early phases of building my coffin-style keezer. To clean the lines, I'd like to add a liquid post to the inside of the collar and a pass through to a second post on the outside. To clean the lines I would connect the line to the inside disconnect and a source of line cleaner to the...

I'm in the process of planning/designing for my new keezer. I'm going with a coffin design but I'm starting to get concerned about the height. My current plan is to use the Danby 10.2 cu ft freezer on a platform with casters & a 5.5" collar. That puts the height of the bar at about 46"...

I'm sure some of the inhabitants of this sub-forum are familiar with this paper but it just popped up on the Reddit homebrewing sub-reddit and it seemed worthy of being posted here as well. An older paper, 2006, titled "The chemistry of beer aging – a critical review". I'm having doubts...

I'm planning on brewing this weekend. However, I just realized that recipe I have in mind, a 1.083 weizenbock, is going to require a 2 step starter (I'm too cheap to buy 2 vials of yeast if I don't have to). I have been reading up on starters and the generally recommended procedure is: start...

I have been using Beersmith since day one, roughly 18 all grain brews. My volume calculations and measurements never really added up but everything was otherwise working out so I didn't pay it much heed. This past weekend I finally go around to making an accurate measuring stick for my boil...

I am starting to realize that I'm a fan of malty (bready, grainy, toasty, etc.) flavors in beer but I'm not overly fond of sweet beers. For example, I like the occasional doppelbock and barleywines but I find them too sweet. I have been sampling various styles (and brewing them) and will...

I bottled an AG dunkelweizen this evening. I was ill prepared (I really shouldn't try these things after a day's work) and did not have enough dextrose for priming. So I made up the difference with DME....long story short, I think I added too much DME & dextroses. Assuming that the...

I have read through the water chemistry primer sticky in the Brew Science forum at least twice and, probably for the worse, plenty of other threads and sites. I'm about to try my first all-grain batch after only a few extract brews. My first brew, although drinkable, was pretty heavily affected...
