I tried taking photos but the lighting alters the appearance. They're an light green/white mixture (very pale) and have very little lupulin. The lupulin is not the classic "school bus yellow" and they don't really smell like much, but yet they are beginning to brown like crazy. They haven,t had...

This summer I was busy and wasn't home very often. I haphazardly strung up one part of my hop vine and let the rest brow wild across the ground like a bush. Now that it is time to harvest for me, I am seeing a lot of pale white/green looking hops with light yellow lupulin on the inside, but they...

Hi, I'm making a 5 gal. batch of an amber ale, which calls for 1 lb. of cara-amber, but my local shop does not carry it. Any substitue suggestions?

My bubbling has completely stopped, but I was told not to rack for another 2 weeks by someone. Should I wait the two weeks or rack now? Also, how many more times do I have to rack in the 6 months it ferments?

Hi, I am making my first mead, and I am currently in the stage where it is sitting in the carboy with an airlock. The bubbling has slowed to about 1 bubble every 18 seconds or so. Now, I have seen places that say that I should bottle it after it reaches 1 bubble every 30 seconds, and other...

Ok, I think I'll ad my recipe to the recipe section today. After trying my concoction yesterday, I found it was sweet, but VERY good tasting. However, I made mine in a plastic water bottle, and because of how the recipe calls for no airlock and just a cap, The bottle expanded to the point of...

Ok! I will certainly keep you guys posted on my recipe. Due to the fact of how old this is (at least 1000 years old), I think I will stick to buying the flour, which is pretty much the ground up grain, and stick in a pan on the stove and roast it till it is brownish. I'll make maybe a 16 or 32...

I am trying to make banana beer, but I am unclear of the process as it comes to the malt. I know that it has to be sorghum or millet, but it says roasted cereal? Do i literally bake cereal and pulverize it? Or do I just put this stuff in it raw...

I did try that.

I need a very easy to make barebones recipe that requires only zeus hops. Preferably a stout, but it can be anything. (I have had very little luck!)

Banana bread ale. Yes, I've had it. It's made by wells, so you can pick one up and try to taste it and mimmick it.

what do i put in its place while i am removing it

heres the thing, its not clogged or erupting anymore, its just filled with water and in the other case beer now.

2 hours after throwing my beer and mead (I made two different batches in two different containers of two different alcoholic types, i know) into their carboys and put an airlock one, both airlocks began to push liquids out of the top of the airlocks! After about 4 hours, the spewing subsided...

Hi, I'm new to brewing, and I was wondering if your sparge water goes into the mash water.
