So, I saw an audiologist, found out the reason for vertigo was more likely due to migraines than the tinnitus itself. I thought the headaches were part of the vertigo, but I guess they're the cause. So I've been on a low sodium diet, and it helps quite a bit, which also means I can continue...

Thanks for all the suggestions. It's not severe vertigo when it happens, regardless, audiologist appointment next week just to get a professional opinion etc. It's actually settled down the past few days, still tinnitus, but that's acceptable. I actually cracked open a beer last night (just...

Well the vertigo comes and goes in spurts, the tinnitus is in both ears, but much louder in the left. I've gone to a normal doctor and it was like he didn't know what he was talking about, told me to take nasal spray. I do have an appointment with a specialist next week. I was just wondering...

Hey, so before anyone says this isn't in the right area etc, it does have to do with beer. I've suffered from tinnitus for a few years now (ringing in the ears) Recently, it's gotten worse and I've had mild symptoms of Vertigo. When that sets in, it feels like I'm drunk all day long...

Yeah, I brewd the cream ale as normal a couple days ago, and I plan to secondary rack onto the frozen berries, probably 8 - 10 lbs and go from there. I've read all sorts of different methods, but this seems to be the way to go. I'll post results when I get them.

Thanks already for the help. Found that Succulent Strawberry recipe, I think it looks like something to mimic. One of my first batches back when I started out, I tried blueberry extract and it came out cough syrupy, but I also know what I did wrong with it. As I said, I was just a beginner...

So I'm planning on doing a strawberry beer in prep for summer. I've read all sorts of opinions online about how to do this, and how not to, ranging from using fresh or frozen fruit to extracts to fruit at the end of the boil, to racking on top of fruit in secondary etc. I was wondering if...

So I let this condition for a while longer than I usually would. Tried some within the last week and it tastes pretty good. A bit tart, but that was to be expected. During ferment, the sugars from the apple juice fermented, but left just enough apple flavor to call this a success. I can't...

I've been brewing per kits for 9 months. I want to get into all grain brewing but don't know where to start. The brew supply store here in town has all sorts of grains etc for sale, but how do you know what to get and in what quantities for your brew? Also, some of the kits I've tried have...

Just an update on this. I brewed 3 days ago. I went by the instructions for the Brewers Best Kolsch. I did a 2 gallon boil and dropped the cinnamon sticks in 3 minutes before the boil termination. After the wort cooled, I added 3 gallons of Apple Juice. I found a brand that had no...

When friends come over and they ask if you have any beer, and you just laugh it off..

I did the search for Graff, it along with Teromous' last reply helped a bunch. That and I looked up specific apple brews, and I've come to a conclusion. I'm going to brew a 2 gallon boil, add cinnamon to the last 15 - 20 mins, then once the wort is cooled, add 3 gallons of cider to the primary...

Thanks everyone for the ideas. At this point I'm considering doing a couple things. Maybe I'll try fermenting apple cider with champagne yeast by itself and see what that tastes like afterwards. Maybe the finished product is something that I could add to a ferment? Also, I'm considering...

I might have to try substituting the cold water with cider before ferment. Although I have heard that adding fruit flavors to the primary can have some unwanted effects with the yeast, so I'm a little skeptical about that. I made a blueberry ale one time with extract and I get what you're...

Hey everyone. First time posting here, so I'm hoping to learn things. I started brewing 8 months ago, and I've done a few batches, some pretty great, some not so much, and I've learned as I go. Question I have is I want to do a wheat-ish beer with hints of apple and maybe cinnamon. I've...
