I live on the east coast and wasn't that hot, nope. Somebody else was confused as to why all the beer disappeared and there wasn't a massive mess. I'm sure the bottom didn't crack, there was no messes around. Yes, I've used the same bucket, but I bought a second one I would use before I went to...

So, here's a lesson in apparently ill fitting fermenter lids.... Also, I like "sensational" titles, thus "Magic Beer". Later

Hey peoples, question. I have never really dry hopped before, so I don't know how to gt the most out of this process. I've been told by many different people to; add them the day before, add them hours before, add them weeks before, etc. On a side note, I've also been told to put the hops in a...

I just recently finished making a vanilla bourbon stout! I hope yours turns out excellent! Mine went over very well with my fans.

Okay, so I read all these posts and now I have a couple questions. I obviously wanted to start a chili beer but I'm not sure exactly what I'm doing. I want the more heat, less flavor (but would like both) and I want the base beer to to a stout. Is a cream stout a good base beer? It won't be...

I love an ice cold shower in the beer, especially after a long day at work during a hot New England summer day. Coming up: Chili Stout A summertime type IPA Vanilla bourbon

It's been a ling time since I've posted here, but I've been "studying", trying to figure out how to prevent those bottle volcanoes. I've been around the web and talking to more experienced brewers and I was told that maybe that even after cleaning something remained behind (or as I was bottling...

This is my raspberry beer in secondary. Came out pretty good I think. I have an idea for version two though. There's always room for improvement.

Nothing right now since I'm at work, but the other night it was my raspberry brew. Perhaps I'll have another tonight.

My experimental blueberry beer just before it gets sealed up for 3 weeks.

It's been a long time since I've posted here to help or ask for help, but I need really quick advice and I'm basically just throwing up a hail Mary. I just ordered some mini kegs and I was planning on filling them tonight. Only problem is I forgot about an ingredient in my batch (vanilla)...

I'm a relatively new brewer too (a year of my craft in August I think, should make am anniversary batch...) but it's been fun. Anyway, I add the malts/extracts at like a post/pre-boil. I take them off the heat simply so as not to scorch them. When I get everything stirred in (and a few times I...

I love it! I used enough blueberries to get some of their flavor without taking away from the beer and the different malts gave it a nice little spice. It's a little heavy in body, but not overly and it has a very smooth finish. I wish people could see the ACTUALLY colors, because my flash...

Finally getting it posted! Blueberry Stout Recipe • 4 oz Chocolate Malt • 12 oz Roasted Barley • 1.1 oz Wheat Extract • 7.5lbs Briess Light Malt • 9 lbs Blueberries • 1 oz Nugget • Safale s-04 What I did for the brew was steep the grains for 30 minutes...

Guess the picture attached. Too bad it's sideways
