Just bottled my first big beer, a stout. After 3 or 4 days i noticed a lot more sediment in the bottles then usual. Probably about twice as much. It sat in primary for about a month. Do bigger beers generally leave more sediment or did i just stir up more yeast then normal because of poor...

If i wanted to make it bigger what would be the best way. Just add more LME?

I dont have the numbers on me now. But i was thinking bout cutting the citra down to maybe 1.5 oz and maybe using the extra .5oz for dry hopping. I was also going to do the LME preboil but a late addition looks promising as i believe beersmith had it coming up pretty dark for an IPA.

What are the advantages of hop bursting and how much more hops do you add. Dont plan on doing it this batch but maybe in the future.

I have been drinking Yuengling Lager for a long time now. Living in Delaware its basically available on tap in every single bar around. Its a great beer to drink when only BMC beers are available. A bar i frequent even has it for only 5 dollars a pitcher. To be honest i see it so often that i...

Hello all Well i think i have hit some sort of milestone. After about 6 months of brewing had my first homebrew dream. I was at my LHBS to pick up some supplies for a batch and they were all out of ingredients. The only thing they had on hand was Bud Light and Miller Lite clone recipe...

Hey all http://www.coronacigar.com/products/hopz-the-craft-beer-cigar.html Anyone try these cigars yet? Apparently they are seasoned with Centennial hops. Could be interesting to smoke one with a real hoppy beer.

My bottling wand thing broke so i bottled last night directly from the spigot on my bottling bucket. Are there any disadvantages to doing this?

I just cracked open my third batch last night. I drank about 15 of them and then threw up everywhere. I also had trouble standing and called up an ex girlfriend to yell at her. What do you guys think? Is it infected? Should i toss it?

Well i was working on my second batch which was a Brewers Best extract kit and i was steeping my specialty grains. I had been to happy hour before i started, and ended up steeping at a lower temperature for about 2.5 min before i realized my mistake. I believe i was steeping at 60C and thought...
