Looking to buy a bag of base malt from my LHBS. Not sure which type to buy, a standard 2 row or a pilsner malt. After I finish drinking this recent batch and get a kegging setup I plan to try brewing the cottage house Saison recipe on here, then maybe a belgian (dark?) strong ale, and maybe a...

Wow, what a coincidence.... And here I thought we were going to have an "IBTL" that was going to get way too political about a government stimulus check in which I am asking for advice on how to spend it... lol

Good lord.... glad I googled "IBTL"

Current setup- 5 gal all-grain brewer with 15 gal Megapot and 10 gal mash tun. Currently fermenting in buckets with no temp control and then bottling. Love brewing, don't drink fast enough. Thinking beer on tap will help make it disappear faster. Been wanting to build a kegerator for some...

HB Simcoe/Amarillo IPA. Pretty psyched about the color and clarity (relative noob here).

Mind blown Next question might be why I've never had this before with any of my smack packs. Is it safe to dry hop now for 5 days? Or should I wait until it drops to dry hop? How long should I expect it to take to drop out? Thanks!

Currently 9 days into fermentation with US 05. Never used this yeast before. Brewing an all grain ~6% IPA with 2 row, Vienna, Victory, and Munich malt. Fermentation took off at 24 hours. Now the bubbles appear to have stopped getting released from the trub like a lava lamp. From the outside, the...

Glad I asked instead of investing time into mashing something with 0 diastatic power.

I just bottled my last recipe and saved the yeast from my 5 gallon bucket fermenter. So now I have 3 mason jars of London Ale III yeast sitting in my fridge just staring at me. I'm also out of base malt and need to go to Omaha to buy some more. In the meantime, I have tons of free flaked corn...

That's what I thought, a tiny krausen ring at the top. Lid is on like normal, just double checked. Would another gravity reading help if all I get is the bottom half of the bucket full of sludge?

Brewed a barrel aged red ale on Saturday and this is what my fermenting bucket looks like 3 days later. No bubbles from the blow off tube or pressure on the bucket lid like usual. Recipe used 2 row, caramel, chocolate malt, wheat, corn sugar, and 1968 London ale yeast. I'm thinking it's a yeast...

The last two batches (6 and 7) I haven't used an auto siphon to do anything in order to avoid oxidation, post fermentation anyways. Bottling from the autosiphon was my rookie mistake in batches 1 and 2. My process: Transfer from kettle to fermentation bucket with spigot, stir vigorously with...

7258 + 5 gal Porter + 5 gal Belgian Farmhouse Ale + 5 gal Pale Ale = 7273

This is a complete mystery to me and I am needing some of your guys help! I new-ish to brewing, brewed ~5 1-gal extract batches and 2 5-gallon all-grain batches. Been working a lot of hours, making some money, enjoying this hobby, and would like to upgrade my equipment from a turkey fryer biab...

What I did for beer today.... cleaned a whole lot of bottles that needed some extra TLC. 2 hours later I can bottle my pale ale that's done fermenting. Will probably spend the afternoon reading up on kegging setups. I'd really like to not do that again!
