Guava I would just cut into halves and let them rock and roll, but I would skin them first. Never made any with rhubarb before. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Have you used fruit in the passes? First I would just wash the fruit very well. My experience using fruits takes roughly 1-2 months of infusion to be able to taste the fruit in the beer. As long as you wash the fruit thoroughly you have nothing to worry about, I mean it is going into alcohol...

How much MD would I add for 5 gal? It's been sitting in the secondary for two weeks, so it's ready to be bottled. So would I boil and chill it, pour into bottling bucket then rack the beer on top? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I want to make an Unpasteurized Vanilla Porter. I brew AG. Has anybody ever done this that could guide me in the right direction for a successful outcome? Thanks in advance

Rule of thumb, if you enjoy your tap water, you will like it in your beer. Also extract beer does taste different then AG beer. When making an AG porter or stout a typical water profile for it has a high bi carbonate level, such as smart water. Soft water is like a Figi water which is great with...

Is there anybody on here that is from the Rockwall County area that knows how to keg? I want to learn real bad because I want to built a keezer. If so, let me know!
