Anyone know of any good online Memorial Day sales coming up? I'm looking to upgrade a lot of my equipment and want to use the holiday as an excuse to burn some money on a new kettle/mash/everything :cool:

Hey all, I finished brewing my annual pumpkin ale last week - definitely one of my favorites. I was just reviewing some of the other Pumpkin Ale recipes on here however, and noticed most people put their pumpkin spices in at 3-5 mins before the end of boil. I put mine in at the very...

Hey folks, I've never really strayed from the basic WLP001 strain, unless I was playing around with a Kolsch or Wit. That said, I'm very curious about WLP028 Edinburgh Scottish yeast. In particular, I'm wondering if it should be *the* yeast I use in my upcoming annual pumpkin ale. Can...

Hey all, I just brewed a Brown Ale with Dr. Pepper over the weekend (calling it Doc Brown Ale... eh? EH???), and had a few questions pop up. I put a 20oz bottle in the boil 15min before flameout, and added another 20oz bottle a day into the primary. I tried to make the DP that went into...

Hey all, I recently bottled a 3 gallon batch of IPA and used a half cup of corn sugar to prime. I know the ratio is 3/4 cup of corn sugar per 5 gallons, so I just guesstimated (I really should know better than to do that by now). I tried using priming sugar calculators, but they're each telling...

I'm thinking about doing a cream ale in 2-3 weeks but want to put a little Easter spin on it. So I came up with the idea of using Jellybeans when I bottle. Similar to Cooper's Carb Drops, I'd put half a jellybean into each bottle to kick off the carbonation process. Each jellybean has 7.7 grams...

Hey guys, I've been tinkering around with my March homebrew recipe for the past few hours and think I've finally got something going. I'm trying to do a St. Patrick's/Easter thing: St. Patrick chased the snakes out of Ireland, so I'm focusing on more grassy/earthy hops to pay homage to those...

I've never had an infection before but this batch has made me a little worried. Whaddya think?

Hey folks, I'm planning my 8th or 9th brew coming up here in February and need some advice on the recipe. The beer is a blonde ale (at least I think it is), with various aphrodisiacs thrown in. Hey, it's for Valentine's day :) Here goes: Recipe Type: All Grain Batch Size (Gallons): 5...

Hey folks, I'm a relative newbie... Got 8-9 brews under my belt so far. I just brewed a caramel amber ale on Saturday and the bubbling stopped yesterday (Monday). I know the advice traditionally given is to shut up and let it do it's thing. My question however is this: Why does it stop...

Hey all, Like 95% of everyone here, I'm gettin' ready to homebrew a pumpkin ale. I'm aiming for an imperial -- because, well, why not? This is going to be my first all grain brew however, so I want to do it right. I've based my recipe on this one...

Hey all, Attempted my first mash tun build this weekend in a 5 gallon cylinder cooler. Pretty satisfied with the valve so far -- next up is the manifold. I'm working with CPVC rather than braided hose. Does anyone have any example manifolds I can copy the design from? I'm looking for...
