I'm looking for a new brew, something time tested and easy to duplicate something I can keep on tap all the time that is well liked by all. I like all kinds of beer and have brewed 20 or so know but just haven't found that one that's over the top. My best to date have been an octoberfest and an...

That's good to know , I also have a pound of organic crystal 60L to use up. Thanks,

Has anyone used naked oats? Going to try to use up all my leftover beer supplies and run across 2lb of NakedOats not even sure what I bought them for,(maybe to get free shipping on a short order or something). Found out its a specialty grain so not sure how much to even use but would like to...

Just sampled my 2565 kolsh octoberfest and it's really good. Definitely not as sweet or maybe not as malty as with the s23 more like I guess an American octoberfest I would explain. Really mellow and smooth. This keg isn't going to last long one of those all day beers more lager like in my mind...

I made a 6 gallon batch and racked about half to a small 3gallon keg 2 weeks ago and put the rest into the fridge. The keg blew yesterday and when I went to keg the rest of it that's what I saw. It's been in the fridge with a kolsh octoberfest that has the fridge and garage smelling like a sweet...

Just went to keg the second half of an IPA and found this on top. Is this an infection?

If it wasn't so expensive I'd seen you a variety 6 pack of my wife's favorite farts!!!!

Do you think that old yeast (or yeast that have been reused or harvested over and over) would cause more gas

I save and reuse my yeast in quart mason jars and when I pitch my yeast it's usually about 3/4 of a quart mason jar I pitch. Think that's to much yeast and making for farts?

Has any of you tried filtering and if so what's a good system for the money?

When I first started brewing I put spigots on all my buckets and racked it with a clear hose trying yo get all I could get but now I use a cane and leave a lot behind but it doesn't seem to change things much.

I was thinking that maybe it's my yeast but it doesn't seem to matter if it is reused,a patty,dry,or fresh liquid.

Made a falconers flight IPA 10-3-15 and just kegged it 11-23-15 kept it at 64-67 till the last week then at 40 and just sampled a glass yesterday the beer turned out great but I skunk up the whole house.

Doesn't matter if I bottle it or keg it, kit,or an all grain recipe. Every time I brew the beer gets better and better and so do the farts.

I use we'll water also if that would matter but my water is great.
