Thanks! I have six more pending. Our club is doing a virtual BJCP study squad for the written when the quarantine is over. That should be fun.

I decided to practice my BJCP judging score sheets by having my friends/club mates send me beer. It is fun to sample different styles and examine techniques. I feel like the quality and format have gotten better in 5 episodes and I am now on a Wednesday morning release schedule. Feel free to...

I just started getting into cider making about 6 months ago. I have not done much reading on the subject at all. I have been making beer since 2016, but not all of my friends/neighbors enjoy beer like I do. I tried my hand at making a simple cider and I ended up winning a festival and scaling...

I recently purchased an eBIAB setup from someone getting out of brewing. He sold me an eBIAB system which included a kettle with a Blichmann BoilCoil. When we were talking, he mentioned I could swap out the plug end (standard 120V) for a 240V end and reach boil faster. After a little bit of...

I used cryo mosaic. I am enjoying it.

First, thanks for sharing the recipe! Second, this is exactly what I was thinking. I sampled a little last night after 1 month. Hazy and hoppy. Simply delicious. A couple of questions for you: After a longer lager, does the hazy drop out? Just curious more than anything. My FG...

The Northy 12 is a 3 month secondary according to the recipe. I have read elsewhere that a 6 month age is even better. Forego the secondary? I updated my profile...I thought I had done that originally. Brewer's Friend is bookmarked now thanks!

Hey all- Long time lurker, first time poster. I brewed my 3rd and 4th batches ever this past weekend. It was the first time I took gravity readings. I have a Saison with my OG at 1.056 (target 1.060). I also did the Northy 12 OG 1.090 (target: nailed! :) ). The instructions did not come...
