I certainly did not brew this beer with the intention of making a "bad beer". I'm still a novice home brewer and i am learning lessons, sometimes the hard way. I simply want to know right now, would it be worth the trouble to pour my beer out of that carboy and strain it into another...

It was a standard imperial russian stout recipe. I added 1oz of hallertau and 1oz saaz at the 5 min mark beause I wanted a hoppy russian imperial stout. It shall sit, as is, until I bottle the beauty Sent from my SCH-I545 using Home Brew mobile app

So then, should I transfer that beer into a seperate fermentation vessel now and strain them off durring the transfer? Or just let it be? It was brewed and went into primary vessel on the 5th. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Home Brew mobile app

If all of what the hops have to give is utilized in the boil, then would it be safe to say that in the future I should strain off all my hops when pouring into my carboy from my brew pot? Sent from my SCH-I545 using Home Brew mobile app

I brewed a Strong Russian Imperial Stout and added 1 oz hallertau and 1 oz saaz at the last 5 mins of boil. My plan was to come out with a hoppy Imperial Russian stout. My question is, as you can see in the pictures, my foam in the carboy rose all the way up and into the airlock and now all my...

in regards to your dry hopping, Is that to say you add 1oz of hops of choice every day for 5 days? Is that the first five days of primary?

Thanks for the recipe suggestions. Now, hop flavor vs hop bitterness, i.assume dry hop additions are the best way to achieve flavor over bitter. Yes?

I'm looking for recommendations for a good hoppy American IPA extract recipe. i prefer a IPA with more aroma and flavor from the hops than bitterness from the hops. I know this probably isn't a realistic comparison when asking for a extract IPA recipe but I'm a big fan of the green flash West...

I assume that adding the vodka is just to kill any potential bacteria. If so, how much vodka what I add to a gallon size ziplock bag full of the puree to accomplish that? Your comment about the airlock, I have a standard air lock that goes in the top of the lid off my bucket. I could fabricate...

I have added fruit 2 primary and secondary is in the past but it was never frozen so I wasn't sure how to go about this. I guess I'll just throw it in the refrigerator a couple days before to let it thaw out and then maybe set it on the counter for a few hours to get to room temperature just...

I have a porter extract kit brew in my primary now. I added 5lbs of figs that had soaked in brandy for months to the last 5 mins of my boil. I used a grain bag for easy management of the removal of the figs. Then I put the figs in a blender (along with the brandy they had soaked in which I...

Well, here is what i wound up doing last night... Followed regular kit instructions and added them in the last 5 of boil. Then this morning I pureed them and added the brandy (which I boiled in a pan for a bit to cook out the alcohol) and put the fig/brandy puree in the freezer. I am thinking I...
