I have a beer that has completed normal fermentation and I am planning on pitching some brett and bugs just to see how it ages. I would also like to add some cherry puree and was wondering if a secondary fermentation sitting on the fruit for an extended period of time (1 year) would cause...

So we had a good sized brew day last weekend (9 brews going) and this happened. http://youtu.be/PAGJubqKRtQ Enjoy! http://nkyhomebrewers.org/

Does anyone have some idea of which type of hops would be considered historically accurate for the midwest in the mis to late 1800's. Is there any reference as to the types of hops that were grown in and around the ohio river valley or varieties that may be similar? Pittsburgh-St.Louis Any...

I've searched around quite a bit and had little luck finding exactly what I'm looking for so I wanted to ask about my idea. The idea would be to have a two tier system with the MLT up top and the BK down low. You would heat your entire volume of strike and sparge water to strike temp and them...

This is the second year growing hops and I put up this trellis last year. I have one of each cascade, centennial, nugget, and magnum. The design is just two 16ft 4x4s with concreted 3ft in the ground a couple eyebolts and a couple cleats. The main rope runs across the top and the stringers...

My intent was to plant them in alphabetical order last year but ever since planting I'm thinking I've gotten my magnum and nugget hop plants mixed up. Can anyone tell me which is which?

So I've been messing around with cider for a few weeks and I have a nagging question that I need answered. Does yeast metabolize sugar in order of complexity? So in a cider could you end up with more apple flavor by adding a sugar that was less complex than the apple sugar? Or in the same...

It my first cider and I found some that was pasturized but didn't have any preservatives on the lable. Pitch some dry nottingham but I think the must was a bit cold so it took a while to even get moving. It's sitting at 70 degrees but its been a week and while the 3 piece airlock has lifted...

Just wanted to say hi. I've been lurking aroung here for several years. I'm 29 and have been brewing for 6 years now. I've mostly been doing partial mash brewing but have just recently got most of the equipment to step my game up. I've been kegging for about 4 months now and just got in a...
