I appreciate the well wishes guys! The majority, like you both, are good people just feeding their family. Some are like the woman you witnessed with the toilet paper. In any case, I hope you all stay healthy! Homebrew always seems to cure the problems lol!

Too many to choose one but some of my favorites include: Hoppy Red Ales Marzen Kolsch Irish Red Ale IPA Hefeweizen ESB

I can respect the intent of stocking up to limit exposure. It is a sensitive subject to me. I am a grocery store manager and have witnessed some crazy things this past month. My qualms are with those over buying on products they dont need. I hate telling people who are out of milk, diapers...

Great points. I definitely agree with you on all of them. I have a problem with needing variety in my beers. I struggle brewing the same thing time and time again. I do agree that this will lead to all the great benefits you mention, however. My solution has been to pick out about a handful of...

Thank you all for the responses. I heard a lot of what I anticipated. I'm currently all grain, I had ward labs do an analysis on my tap water and adjust and dilute with RO water to hit target profiles, I have 2 fermentation chambers for temp controlled fermentations and I try to get the highest...

Hello! I've been roasting coffee and brewing beer for a while. I love when I can overlap the two and make coffee ever. I've also dry hopped coffee. Never dry hop coffee. Anyway, The freshness and quality of the coffee will almost completely determine how much you need to add to the beer...

You guys know the grocery stores are going to be open every single day for the duration of covid-19, right? Why are you increasing your purchasing?

Is this a practice you do regularly? Any illness can be neutralized with a good sanitizer such as Starsan. As previously mentioned, you are only killing the bugs that you or someone in your home has already spread in your home. If this is your concern, then sure knock yourself out. If you are...

My two hundredths of a dollar... it's mainly style based for me. I don't do anything to wheat beers or hazy IPAs. I do like to cold crash and use geletin on lagers and low SRM beers. Everything else depends how much time and effort I feel like putting forth. I've also used whirfloc and irish...

Sure, why not? It may not fit the technical definition of whiskey, but it would be it's own unique spirit.

I understand your frustration. You committed your time and effort to get the ingredients you need. Common sense you say the shop owner could simply buy more grain to help ward off any shortage. Devils advocate would say, shop owner is taking a better to piss off 1 to please the many approach on...

Mmmm Vanilla Oatmeal Stout sounds wonderful!

In Indiana... All bars are closed down Restaurants are carry out or delivery only Most other businesses are closed or have switched to delivery only Word from many sources is that a "shelter in place" mandate will be announced this weekend and only a few essential industries will be open for the...

We're happy you could join us! These forums are great resources for almost every obscure brewing question you could ask. What are you bottling Saturday?

I can't imagine that would happen. It's been so clear that Liverpool is the best team this season. It's almost fitting that a week before claiming the first title in 30 years we have to wait a little while longer.

Made a small donation. I love what you are doing. Thoughts out to you and your family! Glad to help fellow Liverpool supporters. Cheers my man!

I have a simple yet effective enough method. I add my dry hops loose into the fermenter around day 2 or 3 of fermentation. After 4ish days I'll cold crash for about 3 days and then keg. You get a beer clear of hop matter with good extraction without much labor.

Yup that's how it works. I'd highly recommend using an inkbird with a chest freezer and brew belts. I can ferment (2) 10 gallon batches at a time at separate temperatures. It set me back around $220 for all the equiptment but is well worth it. You can definitely use a jacket that you fill with...

Looks pretty good! Lots of hops! Interesting that you preferred honey malt to Crystal malt.

I just kegged my cream ale with kolsch yeast today. Also dry hopped my pale ale with citra and simcoe. About to brew my orange pineapple hefeweizen.
