I brewed an English IPA yesterday, great brew, all the numbers fell in line, fermenting like crazy My Brother brewed a stout, everything looked great, but the OG came out at 1.070 as opposed to the 1.060, we double checked everything, and couldn't figure out what happened there, so we just...

10 more gallons brewed yesterday :rockin:

This was what I was going to say pretty much exactly. I was that guy who tried a friends "Mr. Beer" and it was awful, stayed away from home brew for a long time because of that original experience.

I hope there are some high altitude brewers here. My brother and I have recently taken up home brewing and have had a wonderful success so far. The problem is, we brew at 8,200 ft in elevation. We have seen in these forums that hops might be a bit less efficient at this altitude, but we have...

Fischer LaBelle (European Pale Lager). Hands down the worst beer I have ever tasted. Thankfully I haven't seen it in several years, so hopefully someone finally put it out of its misery.

Hey everyone, happy to be here. I used to work in a brewpub (in the kitchen :mad:) many years ago. At that time I did manage to get in one 8 barrel brew under my belt. However I have just started brewing at home with my brother, and it is going great!! We have 4, 5 gal batches under our...
