    I had an excellent IPA today...

    I went to Granite City today for lunch. They have their own brewery, and I had their IPA. I thought it was incredible! It has Apollo hops in it which I have not been able to find as of yet. I just thought I'd let you guys know in case you have one of the restaurants near you.

    Hops help with my Rochefort 10 clone

    My main question is about the hops. Would five ounces be too much?

    Hops help with my Rochefort 10 clone

    I am making an attempt at a extract Rochefort 10 clone. I used Beersmith and advice from others to arrive at the recipe below. The thing is, Beersmith has my IBUs at 22.3, but all the other recipes I've seen have far less hops and sometimes greater IBUs. I'm worried that I'm going to have a...

    Carboy won't come clean

    Unless you are certain that the bucket was properly taken care of and cleaned by the previous owner, then I would be hesitant to use it. Small scratches from cleaning it will harbor nasties, thus making bad beer. If you're sure you have a good bucket, I'd say you're good to go after you rinse...

    reached FG but still bubbling

    An LCD thermometer works fine for the primary. Just stick it on the side of the bucket. You can get them anyplace you find your homebrew supplies.

    Do I need a starter?

    I just did a quick Mr. Malty calc on your given info, and you should make a large starger with both of the vials.

    Does Your Boss Know You Homebrew?

    Yes, but at the same time, being comfortable in the interview goes very far as well. Don't be worried about having to say the right thing, just don't tell them the obvious "bad" things.

    Does Your Boss Know You Homebrew?

    Ok, to be honest, I don't know if this was aready said, but I would probably agree with your recruitor until you are hired, then work a few weeks to show that you're a great employee, and share the news. It's all about timing, everyone has their vices and "naughty side", if you want to call it...

    Does Your Boss Know You Homebrew?

    I hate my boss. He's so damn hard on me! He makes me feel guilty whenever I play hookie, drink too much, or get hungover. Yeah, he know's that I brew. Seems like he's always f***ing there! Oh wait, that's cause my boss is ME!

    I have 5 lbs of wheat LME to get rid of - ideas?

    I need to use 5 lbs of wheat LME before it goes bad. I make wheat beers, but I've switched to all DME for the lighter color. Any good ideas for recipes?

    Much difference in real fruit vs extract?

    I'm thinking about a good way to get rid of some wheat LME that I've had for a few weeks now before it goes bad. I still make wheat beers, but I now use DME so I can get the color closer to what I like. I'm thinking about a strawberry wheat, but I've never made strawberry beer. I really don't...

    Stir Plate not stirring

    Just do a google search for "rare earth magnets". I ordered some online, but then found some at the hardware store close to me before I received my ones that I oredered. The size you need varies according to your setup. The ones that I use on my plate are (cylindrical) 12x3 mm, and they work...

    A bit of a mess

    Its much better to use the airlock and place a 5/8 inch OD x 1/2 inch ID hose onto that. Its a much bigger hose and will not clog nearly as easy. You can get it at Home Depot/Lowes. Check this out: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/airlock-bubbling-over-95581/
