I've tried short vs long ferments and haven't really noticed any differences when fermented for two weeks VS 3 weeks VS 4 weeks. What am I missing here? Is it yeast dependent? What's going on in there once fermentation is over? Also you should know I have no homebrew on hand so... Is it really...

I was going to suggest Velvet Revolution for the Czech pilsner but realized it happened just 6 weeks before 1990. Also the cider house rules film came out in 1999...just sayin'

I ended up using marris otter and Simpsons crystal t50 and lallemand london yeast. You were not joking that was one of the fiercest fermentation I've ever had. Started at 1.054 Saturday night by Monday morning it was at 1.017 and completed today at 1.015. I'll still wait it out for at least...

The cheapest and easiest option is to reduce the boil vigor and boil time, adjust recipe accordingly. Brewing such small batches would require mere ounces of additional malt and a gram or two of hops. There's no reason you need to boil for 60 min at rolling boil, when 30 min at a simmer will...

Definitely sweeten the glass, either a splash of apple juice or make a simple syrup solution and you're set. Taking the ciders on the go? Fill an empty beer bottle with fresh apple juice and cap it. Don't risk the bottle bombs.

Hi y'all, Thanks for all the input! I'm living in Europe so looking to do a more traditional brittish ESB. I've got my hands on so marris otter and Simpsons crystal so we shall see. I use dry yeast exclusively, which may limit me a bit for this style but I'm going with the lallemand london ale...

Hey folks, I've got an ESB in my brewing to do list, realized I don't have that much experience brewing (or even drinking) this style. What are some tips and tricks you've experienced with this style to get it dialed in to your liking? I'm not necessarily looking for a recipe, though key...

Last one I promise....

Didn't I create and post this meme a page or two ago? Well you know what they say... Imitation is the highest form of flattery. Thanks!

Common misconception, the picture shows "the monster" Frankenstein is the doctor/scientist (who is also a monster in some ways). No, I'm not fun at parties unless I provide the homebrew.

Anybody with siblings knows this strategy all too well...
