if only i were closer i would be all over this!

do you add irish moss or whirlfloc tablets? either of those will help clear the beer really well without adding any flavor

the best part is that the recipes ive made are truly my own, im sure they are just basic recipes but i like the fact the were made up by me. ive taken some inspiration from other recipes to get the basic idea of what the main ingredients are for a certain beer style, but its amazing all the...

So i went all grain at the beginning of the summer and have brewed 5 batches so far. 1. wheat ale 2. cream ale 3. milk chocolate stout 4. honey ale 5. Witbier the witbier is still fermenting and the honey ale is carbing. However, out of the first three i have enjoyed all of them, the...

The reason i modified it was because i started a yeast starter with 500mL, and when i went to ramp it up to 1500mL i was a little uneasy about the size of the stir plate, the magnet has no problem penetrating through the board, its like compacted cork with a layer or dry erase paint on top...

The stir plate i purchased has a plastic top that is just too small for my liking for a stir plate holding a 2000mL EF. I went out looking for a piece of thin plastic to replace it with, but couldn't find anything. Instead i found a piece of dry erase board that was the same thickness as the...

i did a starter of Wyeast belgian witbier with extra light dme and the krausen almost came out the top of the 2000mL EF, i was shocked and watched the flask regularly so i didn't have a mess to clean up

i think you might be freaking out abut nothing, you said you brewed a couple of days ago so the yeast may have finished the really active stage of fermenting and now they are just clearing up the beer. the higher temp would lead to a more rapid fermentation and some more ester production than...

any three of those should work just fine, i don't think one will lead to better aeration than another. you just need the yeast to stay in suspension and in contact with the oxygen at the top and sugars in the wort, so a deep vortex isn't needed for the starter just a nice, smooth spin. im not...

im not a pro at brewing by any means, but normally after about 3-4 days the really active bubbling will normally slow down to about 1 to 2 bubble per minute, thats when i move mine to a secondary, normally in the secondary you hardly ever notice bubbles because the yeast isn't as active as it...

WeissenHeimer Brewing...simple, my families last name is heimer and the whole family is a group of smart asses. Why not use play on words with a beer style, weiss, as well

Im not sure the hop selection is the greatest, just wanted to use some hops ive never used before so those can change. Better options for hops? I tried to collectively make a cream ale recipe from a lot of the ones on here to make just a basic cream ale. Thoughts? Also, i don't think i...

thanks for all the replies everybody, ive been debating making a couple recipes i came up with using brewmate. Ive made 4 kits and made my own wheat ale that turned out okay, im looking to make the wheat ale better but also want to make other beers too. ive done one partial mash, and the rest...

How many of you guys just think of a recipe and make it, possibly using brewing software, hoping for the best? Is there anyway of knowing if a brew will be good before you start, or just go for it and in the end you still get Beer?

I have the same kit and the siphon can either be used like a pump or simply a siphon. I practiced with the siphon first with some water just to see how it worked. Just start pulling the tube in the middle a couple times to get the siphon going and your off, place the clear hose on the end that...
