5.5 gallons of Vanguard Blonde 5 gallons of All Amarillo IPA 17787 + 10.5 = 17797.5

I recently made the Bavarian Hefe from Austin. I pitched the yeast around 65F and moved the fermenter to my basement. To keep it off of the concrete floor, I put the fermenter inside a styrofoam cooler with no top. At night, the temperature would dip down to roughly 58F, but for the most part it...

Unfortunately, he just pooled them all together in one bag. He said to use them exclusively as bittering hops because they were getting old. He did say that with what I was getting, it was roughly 8.5% AA. The hops are from Red Hook, so I am not sure if they have specific hops that they use more...

For a friend's bachelor party, we took a private brewery tour. While on the tour, the guide ended up giving me a good amount of free hops because I mentioned that I had just started homebrewing. Afterwards, a few people on the tour joked that I needed to make something from these hops for the...

As part of my buddy's bachelor party, we took a private tour of the Red Hook Brewery in Portsmouth, NH. While we were walking through the fermentation room, I mentioned to my friend that my basement was starting to smell like the room. The tour guide heard me and said to see him at the end of...

Yeah, I meant NOT strongly pronounced...probably should read before I post next time.

The blueberry flavor is strongly pronounced with this beer...during their tastings, they kind of rag on Seadog for making their's too sweet.

So did you just add some of Nugget Nectar to the boiling water? How much? I need to try this to see how it compares to my friend's corned beef that I had this week.

I did use the Montrachet yeast. I wasn't worried about the krausen, as I had read there was none from that yeast. Aside from a blowoff, I was also thinking about drawing some of the liquid off. Thanks for your help!

It appears that I may have added too much juice to my fermenter while making the Ed Wort's Apfelwein recipe. When I noticed, the level of the liquid was just to the bottom of the neck of a 5 gallon carboy. Since that time, the level has now risen through the neck and is beginning to fill the...

First thing I did was put them in a rubbermaid container with a blanket over it...will probably add an inverted rubbermaid container over the top when I get home.

After I finished bottling my first batch this afternoon, one of the six-pack holders I was carrying full of beer gave out. Upon inspection, none of the bottles broke and the caps appear to be tight. Obviously it is possible that the glass is weakened from falling to the ground, but could...

Would it be possible for anyone to convert this recipe into Extract or Extract with Steeping Grains? If not, can someone point me in the right direction to convert it? I'd like to try to make this in honor of my trip to the brewery a few years ago. Thanks

I've actually had a couple of Ambers from my friend's batch conditioning in my kitchen for the past two weeks...it has taken a lot not to pop one open, but I believe he may be trying one of his tonight to check the carbonation!

Like many others, I received a brew kit for Christmas. After deciding on what to brew, I went with the Blueberry Chocolate Stout for AHS. As far as I can tell, everything went off without a hitch...gravity was a little low and I may have spilled some wort on my friend's forearm, but other than...

Sorry...might be some confusion. I haven't done AHS Stout yet. The "thin" beer was an Amber that I helped with...

Excellent, I like hearing this!
