Lol I guess it does. I made that once a long time ago. Forgot about it. Great beer though. Maybe I am on to something lol

A little flavor

So after a very quick look at and play around with Brewers Friend I have come this far with a light lager. Opinions? This is for a one gallon batch: 1.2lb 2 row pale ale .4lb flaked corn .1 oz Williamette 60 minutes

So I have been brewing for about 10 years now but always use recipes I find on here. Honestly I have no concept on how to piece together my own recipe but want to start to learn. What I would like to start with is a simple lager. A "lawn mower" beer if you will. Light, tasty and easy to...

Hey all. Just finished attaching the beer line to the shank in a single tap beer tower. So far I have been able to finger tighten the nut inside the tower but now realize I need a nut wrench to do this as it is very very tight in there with next to no room to work with. Been doing some...

Hey everyone. I have acquired a kegerator and cannot for the life of me figure out how to attach the 90degree shank to the beer line and then connect it to the faucet. I know I have to fit the shank through the tower hole and then through the washers and then eventually the nut to screw on. I...

Ok so bonehead move of a lifetime. I just figured out why my OG was so low. I did not put all the honey in. Just now I found 5lbs honey that was buried underneath some towels. I originally made the batch on Wednesday September 27. It is now October 1. Can i simply put the 5lbs honey in the...

It did look to me like it sank to the bottom. I did shake and roll the carboy on it's side twice and I stuck a sanitized racking cane to the bottom and gave it a good stir as well. Should I continue doing that?

Just made a simple sweet mead. 17lbs honey and the rest is water to get to about 5.8 gallons. Took an OH and it showed 1.066. Kinda low?

So here is a potentially dumb question. Being diabetic I am always looking for ways to skimp on sugars. What if I used fake light brown sugar for this recipe?

So I just soaked and scrubbed out my bottles in warm water and Clorox. Scrubbed them good and rinsed good. When bott;ing would I still need to use Star San? Would it create any reactions?

Hey all. Forgive me for not know this but I am ;looking at a mini fridge to turn it into a kegerator. My question is there is a freezer shelf that I would need to come off. It looks like it can come off. So if I do remove that piece will it still the fridge pretty dood?

Maybe a better pre-question is will any mini fridge work as a kegerator?

Hello boys and girls. My mini fridge kegerator died on me over the weekend. So I am on the hunt for a new to me used mini fridge. But my question is how do I know if the freon lines are on the top of the fridge and if they are how would I find where to drill the beer line hole?

When do you normally put your dry hops in when dry hopping?

So I made a 2.5 gallon batch this weekend. I took my OG and it showed 1.050. Not the 1.065 the recipe shows. I am certain everything went perfectly. 6 totals pounds grain with a 2.5 gallon mash at 152. Pre-boil was around 4 gals. OG was taken at 70F. Any thoughts? I thought I nailed the...

I am a BIAB brewer now. I use a picnic/water cooler. Just do a normal mash except use a bag. When the mash is done I list the bag out onto a strainer over the boil pot and then simply dump the wort in the cooler into the pot as well. No hoses, no connections, no nothing.

Looking for an APA, not an IPA. Personally I am not a huge fan of hoppy beer but I can handle one or two every now and then.
