Hello Everyone, first of all i realize that buying a new pack of notty will only cost me 2.75. So i am asking this in the quest for knowledge. I just made a gallon of CDA and i pitched the notty yeast too high! 80 or something... it was just not a good move and have since learned from...

I have been in it for just over a year now and the obsession is unending! The thing is the knowledge is so vast and deep (like everything in this world) that it never seems to end. Make sure to check out the basicbrewing podcast at basicbrewing.com. Once you have gotten through all of the...

It's been a week in the bottle and I tried it yesterday. The Belgian defiantly won that battle. I am not getting any off flavours from Belgian. I was worried it might stressout and be to fruity. I picked that yeast because I wanted the cleanest Belgian flavor I could get. I fermented it at 65...

couldn't you sanitize some ziplock bags and freeze some spring water in that and use that to cool your wort? just get the bags from the dollar store and you'll be keeping your cost down and keeping everything clean...

I am doing a partial recipe with 4.8 pounds of lme and 3 lbs of grains with a mash of 45 min and a boil of 1 hour. It's an imperial IPA with a OG of 1.090 and tonnes of hops. I have a 12.3 liter stock pot. I have been searching and searching and i just cant find the amounts for the mash/steep...

i love to cook and i don't really drink, but this seems like another way of creating flavours. And yes, wasting my time is true, i will from now on only make 2.5 gallons just to actually feel like a made something worth while. But that wont be for a while i need to recover from last nights...

So I am back with more fun! I tried again to make a 1 gallon all-grain batch (yes, i'm a noob and should be doing canned stuff right now...) I bought 3 pounds of grain, i used from papazian book the measurement that each pound retains .1 of a liter, I started with 1 gallon mash which meant i...

lol found it its called specialty beer and nailed it! it allows for absolutely anything! thanks! ill send you a bottle of this if you want since you've been so welcoming and helpful! its its good of course... if its not well ill just keep it to myself.

Thanks for the welcome, when it is so far out of any style does it actually get one? is it just a really badly put together vienna lager or does is venture in to he style to which it's specs resemble the most?

Hello everyone, First of all thanks for taking a look at my thread! So, here we go, i made my first batch of beer on a total whim a few months ago just because my friend said he knew how and i thought it would be fun. So we made a batch... all wrong! We made a lager with a primary...
