Hey All, I recently brewed this Aprihop clone (found some where on internet). It is delicious, but only problem is that there is a ton of residue. I've left over an inch in the bottle and there is still floating things. Any idea why? I used a secondary and all. Could it be due to the apricot...

Hey All, I have never used Irish moss before. I got some a while back and it smells like fish food. I have never used it out of fear...is it supposed to smell awful? Think its good? Happy Brewing! Saul

Hi All, Planning a brewery tour with a few buddies, one fellow HBer, starting in the DC area. We want to head down South (mostly East), so far we have a few places in North Carolina to go to, but we are down to go to any of the states around there if is a something good. We only have a few so...

Hey All, I recently made my first Cider... I am a little concerned about bottle bombs. I did a stove top pasturazation after 5 days, but while I was pasteurizing a bottle exploded in the pot (foolishly left the burner on to reheat the water halfway through), I freaked out and took the...

Hey All, I ordered a Wyeast from NB last week, and when I got the package the ice pack melted and the yeast packet was partially inflated. Not fully inflated, but it had some air in it...think its still good? Anyway to save it? Cheers, Saul

Just made the sauce and realized I used dark brown sugar instead of light brown. Will this make a significant difference or should I redo it?

Thanks for all the feedback everybody. I agree with just about everything, it was a bit too overwhelming. I scaled back on the grain bill to 12# of MO. I think you make a good point on the hop addition. I will most likely do it as you say, (60, 15, 5, flameout). But do you still think I should...

Hi all, I'm making a malty pumpkin ale next week and wanted to know your opinions on what yeast to use. I've had good experiences with wyeast 1056 American ale but I'm worried that that one might be a bit too dry for the style I'm going for. I also want most of the malt flavor to come directly...

Haha well I guess my newbie colours are showing. This is only my 7th all grain batch. I was planning on making it 5.5 gallons. Perhaps I will lower the grain bill to around 15#. Thanks for the feedback! -Saul
