    Top 5 things I wish I knew when I first started homebrewing.

    This ^^^^^:mug: I've been a 1 gallon brewer for 5 batches and plan to stay until I can get my techniques down, Still mishaps here and there on brewdays. I started brewing back in march so only a few months, and always thought ambient temp was perfect, but little did I know about esters and...

    Hop stand

    Just finished reading through the whole thread and man do I have a different approach that I wanna take for the next few batches. Since all I wanna brew is anything from a APA -- IPA & anything perfectly HOP'd, this was 100% sub material. Can anyone recommend any other threads like this.

    2014 Hop garden photo thread

    Here's my one and only (this year). Cascade was given to me by the owner at my LHBS and I couldn't say no, had no clue how to plant or grow hops, I'm a month in from when I planted em, they get 5ish hours of direct sunlight from sunrise to 1. Don't plan on having any cones this season but I am...

    Honestly not too much just make your log to your liking, make copy's and take em to kinkos or staples and I'm sure they bind em. Shoot em a call never hurts! Before I settled on writing it all out I took a brew template online and printed a few, kept em in a 3 ring binder. But discovered I'd...

    When I re-brew I start a new page I actually cut and glue a beer judging sheet on the back of each recipe. In that pic I didn't have a taste sheet posted because that one was still in primary! That way I can write my tasting notes down and some what judge how the recipe tasted to my liking!

    Brewing Notes

    I use the brewers friend calculator online to make sure I'm in style range or just to know if I'm a bit to heavy on hops or other variables. I like to have a physical copy of my recipes and notes just for a piece of mind. Never know when the CPU will take a dump and you lose everything. I have...

    Fermentation took off like crazy 3-4 hours after brewing, got home from work to find that my room smelled good. Blow off tube was rocking and jar was bubbling like crazy. Fast forward to today, krausen dropped so I switched the blow off for a airlock and now we wait! I'll up date this further...

    Quick question regarding the carapils grain. What would be the most effective way to steep this? I have been told 2 ways, 1. Hold temp at 160-170 and steep for 10-20 minutes. 2. Throw em in at beginning of flame and remove when reaching 165. Which is my best bet for better ..what's the word...

    Sweet thank you for that ^^ Just what I was hoping to hear looks like a IIPA is gonna be my next batch. Now 4 days can't come sooner. Hopefully the magnum hops play a clean bittering role and let the galaxy fruity notes take over. Looks like this is a green light! If anyone has any input on...
