Thought a common was a bit on the light side. This crystal malt is bark as chocolate. Is it suppose to lighten later

I appreciate u helping out but this beer taste like coffee with no sugar and a hit of alcohol.

I was reading an alternate thermometer which I found out at the end was wrong. My temp controller was set 62 but I kept reading the other temp meter and I kept turning the controller down to meet 62 which was really 58

1.015. How can I tell if I need to toss it out

I mashed at 152 for 60 min and boiled for 60 min. I set my ibu for 19 . I had a very slow lagging fermentation so after waiting 48 hours with no sign I pitched some us05 and fermentation finally started. After 8 days at 58 degrees I let it warm up to 68 for 24 hours then crashed it at 40 for 2...

Kegged and carbed my brown and red ale day before yesterday and I just got done giving it a little taste..... Damn it's horrible... Bitter... Not as I expected . It's not fully carbed yet. Please tell me it will get better

I have plenty co2 . How do I go about doing this with the stopper and airlock

I'm doing my first lager and I just racked from a 6 gallon to a 5 gallon carboy and I still have some headspace. Is this ok? Also I sucked up some leftover lees and gunk of the bottom it wasn't much will this throw an off flavor?

I got it from a friend . I also have a recipe for a California common . I'm gonna try to use an ale yeast for that one too.

I understand. I'm completely set up to lager and brew anything. I've never done a coors clone . My parents are light beer drinkers and I wanna brew a batch they would like. Just thought I could get away with an ale yeast

Wanna brew a coors clone and my recipe calls for 6# American 2row and 3# flake maize. Do I have to lager this beer or can I use an ale yeast.

U say 5 gal carboy for 5 gal batch. Why wouldn't a 6 gallon work? This is my first lager

Would anyone care to share a good kolsch or creme ale recipe. Extract or all grain

Why does beer change colors towards the end of fermentation and when cold crashing
