I had never tasted sour until briefly before i started brewing a month and a half ago or so. I really liked it so i would like to give it a try. I have the next batch planned but after that i might give it a try if i come with a solid plan. For this i would like to ask the more expert brewers a...

So i guess this must happen to most people... I would love to do some lagers but i cant lager them in a cold space. I was wondering if someone knows/has experimented taking a lager recipe and just using some neutral ale yeast and do it as ale. I know that is not a lager, i really wonder what...

Hey there! So im somewhat new to beer brewing and i still have many many things i want to try so im not in a hurry but lately i tried a few sour beers that really hitted a spot, and as it usually happens now i want to know how to make smething similar. Making a stout or an IPA seems rather...

Just a quick update. All the beer has been bottled. Batch 2 on 20/09 with 80g of sugar and batch 1 on 26/09 with 95g Batch 2 is really nice. Not super incredible but better than i expected. When it warms up slightly you can taste the hop variety quice nicely. I expected the malt to be more...

Ok. Thanks for that. I know its probably ok but im a worrier so... I pitched the yeast at 30 some degrees celsius, but after 4h or so it was at room temp (20-21). Im just more worried this time because i dont have the hydrometer but oh well...as long as it ends up good its fine.

So a few things i did not expect are happening. Its been 36h since pitch more or less, the bubbling started less than 1h from pitch and went to 1 bubble every 4s or so. Now its at 1 per minute or so. This feels a little bit weird. I know bubbles and fermentation are not correlated but i cant...

The beer has been brewed. I feel there is too much turb...what is the usual? In the first one around 1l of stuff is piling up at the bottom. Hope i dont have more than 2l of racking losses per bucket

Ok. Im going with hops on the first but will do the more german style in the second one (one addition at 30 mins and one at 15 mins but thats it). Attempting this tomorrow. Im downscaling to 13l, the buckets can have 16l maximum, im guessing its enough headspace. If you can give me any more...

Thats my idea for the second one, with more munich and a bit less IBU. I wanted the maltiness to dominate more. But the first one is more of a pale ale and i want it to have some hoppy flavour and aroma. Plus the yeast has 75% attenuation which will probably leave a rather "dry" beer (i dont...

Any comment on how many hops to use? in dry hopping? and can i leave them in the primary for 3 weeks or so? or is that too much?

Nice, thanks! By not transfer you mean you dont rack until bottling time? Dry hopping in primary may be easier, yes

So i've been brewing mead for a while and I've decided to try my hand at beer. Im gonna post the detailed recipes of what i intend to do so you can point me in the right direction if something is not as it should. My equipment is very limited, so bear with me. If this go well I might expand and...
