Had this beer for the first time last night and really enjoyed that Danky hop flavor. Anyone have any idea what that combonation of hops would be? I looked for a clone recipe but couldn't find one. Posted this in the commercial beer forum but got no response.

Is any food grade BPA free container ok for fermentation? I'm going to be doing 1.5 gallon batches and am thinking of using clear rectangle or round food containers like you would find in any big box store. I just dont want anything that can leech off flavors into my beer, but would like to get...

Hey just a quick question since my brew math is a little rusty from way back in 2011. I'm trying to figure out my Mash tun size for my no sparge brewing process, which means I need enough volume for strike water, grains, and sparge water combined. I love the simplicity of the no sparge process...

Hey folks upon reentering the brewforce I'll be doing 1.5 gallon of volume into the fermenter. This comes out to 192oz which is 16 beers. How much of that volume do you think I'll lose to the yeast cake? I'm shooting for 12 pack batches but it would be nice to squeeze 14 out of it. Thanks for...

Hey folks this is the first time that I have posted on this site in a long time. I stepped away from brewing to pursue other hobbies for around 8 years. I have decided to return to brewing doing batches between 1 and 2.5 gallons. My only real question with scaling down my batches is regarding...

Boulder's Hazed and Infuzed claims to be a dry hopped pale ale, but the flavor and color of the beer have me believing that this maybe should be classified as a american brown ale. Which style do you think better represents this beer?

Hey guys my last few brews have had a astringent/solvent green apple flavor/smell to them. The majority of the problem is in the aroma where its most noticeable. Three of my last four beers have had the off flavor. Here is some info to help with the troubleshooting. 1. The 3 beers with the...

Hey guys I'm doing a cream ale for my next brew and I was wanting to gather some water profile feedback for this beer. I am thinking of going something along the lines of a pilsen profile (nearly distilled) but with some extra gypsum punch to make the beer seem a little crisper. What do yall...

Hey guys I was wondering how much unfermentable sugar biscuit malt adds? I'm brewing a bitter and I don't want a whole lot of unfermentable sugar sweetening it up. would a half pound of biscuit and a quarter pound of crystal 160 add too much sweetness to the beer? The whole grain bill looks...

Hey guys, I'm going out of town for 5 weeks and I have two beers that will be staying in the primary fermenter while I'm gone. I don't want to run the A/C while I'm gone and I'm not too worried about having it off since both of the beers have completed the bulk part of fermentation. The only...

Hey guys I just got the call for a job thats going to last five weeks out of town and I have two beers in primary fermentation. My brown ale will be fine, it just got brewed yesterday so I think a nice 35 day primary will be awesome. I'm worried about my pale mild though its already been in...

Hey guys I was just wondering if having a lower mash efficiency effects the overall taste of your brew vs. having higher efficiency. If one brewer uses 10 pounds of grain to achieve a certain gravity, and another brewer uses 13 to get the same number, does it mean both beers will theoretically...

Hey guys I just recently started listening to the brewing network sunday session and was wondering if any HBT users hang around in the chatroom while the live show is going on. I really like the show, its the perfect amount of beer/brewing related stuff and cheesy comedy for my tastes. How...

Hey guys, What would be the correct water profile for a authentic mild? Are they in the area where burton water would be accurate for the style? Im doing NB's AK47 Pale Mild kit so its not even really a authentic recipe since its not dark enough but I still would like to get it on a water...

Whats the smallest brewpub setup that you've ever seen? I've heard something along the lines that Dogfish Head started by brewing three 15 gallon batches a day. Have you ever been to any other places that use multiple 15 gallon systems or does everyone pretty much use the standard large...

I think most people that brew 10 gallon batches keg their beer but I'm not going to do the keg thing, been there done that and ain't going back to it. That being said I want to start brewing a few 10 gallon batches but I need to ask a few questions about bottling. Here goes... I've never...

hey guys I just bought my first recipe kit (AK47) after 3 years of brewing all HBT database and scratch recipes. I did this because I wanted to try something different and I wanted to support NB since they pretty much make brewing tv happen, I love that show, lol. Anyways I just wanted to ask...

Hey guys one of the brews that I've never tried to brew or find a commerical example of is a scottish ale. I understand that some scottish beers use peat smoked malt but what else seperates them from a irish or english style ale? What kind of character does scottish yeast strains add to differ...

Ok I'm bored and just thought about this idea, lol. I've read about monks way back when who would go through periods of fasting where they would use beer for nutrients in place of food. I've also read about beer being thought of as a food back in old times and also being used for payment to...
