A home brew that I made when, Well ill say really buzzed. Its from 2014 with my 2014 home grown hops. I had had a few beers and a smoke when I planted them so I just go for it so I don't no them apart. I measure by the hand full. I think it was Mt Hood and Zeus. I don't even remember really...

Thats what I'm thinking. What can it hurt?

So this is my first time doing anything like this. I'm making duck prosciutto, I followed some basic instructions. I let 1 sit in salt for 24 hours the other like 35. Now I'm confused on what temperature to hang it in. I live in the city and its summer so it is really hot in my appartment...

so a year ago i decided to grow a beard. at that moment I did not know the love my beard would bring me, it is my best friend. I really love it when I get a good beer all through my beard. I can smell it better and OMG I love it is that wrong. NO it can't be bad it feels so good, how can...

a little update on my bottle dry hop so far I bottled it on oct 14 so its almost been a month. I really like it so far it was a brown ale now with the bottled hops it is like a hoppy brow ale IPA thing I think it turned out great I really wish i did it with more bottles only got 1 more think...

Nice good to know, I was kicking my self in the ass, but i guess i don't got to worry much. I can always dry hop again when I transfer to secondary if I want more hop aroma right?

So yesterday I had the day off from work I thought id brew some beer. Well anyway I had a really good buzz going, and during my drunkenness I added an ounce of galaxy hops to my primary to dry hop before fermentation had even started. Now did I really mess this up? I looked around online...

I did It with 3 bottles so I think I will try them at different times, and keep notes on it. I want to try that Lupulin Maximus and see what its like.

so today i bottled a brown ale. I had some hops from my plant this year so I took a few bottles and put 3 smaller hop cones in the bottle filled it up and capped it. I did it because, I well I wanted to see what would happen. Anyone ever try this?

Good to know thanks, I did not think I would have a problem thought it better to check though. I cant wait for my scoby to form, its been a while since i brewed kombucha.

So its been a few years since I have brewed kombucha so i did some googleing to refresh myself. Anyway I came across a few different articles saying that you can no longer use many store bought brands to make a scoby and if you can they are crappy. Because they reformulated the recipe, and...

So I found a True Brew brewing kit in my dads basement, and thought I would make it up. Now I have brewed a few different things like Mead, kombucha, Apple cider, and beer a few times. Style: Nut Brown Ale Yeast: Muntons Active Brewing yeast hops:UK Fuggle 1OZ "Alpha 4%" Brew stats...

Thank you so much for the info

I used D-47 yeast, would it be ok to add more honey win i rack it to the secondary, and then just let it ferment and continue to clear kind of like a back sweeten or would that not be a good idea? So with less honey it will be dry V.S if i added more it would be sweet? I wish i was...

So this is what I did... I had a few beers and was feeling good so i decided to make a 5 gal batch of apple cyser. I used 5 gal of some fresh pressed apple cider from a local orchard. I only used 5 lb of blueberry honey. It has been in primary for a week over a month and is...
