    Rough brew day today

    At least your beer made it to your fermentor. I brewed a pumpkin ale today which had a massively stuck sparge (took close to 2 hours to get 7.5 gallons into the kettle even after MUCH stirring) and then everything went smooth....for awhile. Fast forward to chilling - It's going well for about...

    Honey instead of honey malt in a NEIPA

    I say go for it. You will get a drier beer from the added honey, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. To avoid the delicate honey aromas being scrubbed out by the CO2, consider adding the honey toward the end of primary fermentation by dissolving in water that you add directly to the...

    My lovely 130° weather :) (best yeast options)

    This thing works really well. I lived in an apartment with no central air and kept my brews in a bedroom that easily exceeded 80-85F in July/August. With my 6.5 gallon carboy I would keep 2 1 gallon jugs and a 2 liter pop bottle on a frozen rotation. Swapping out every 24 hours or so I was able...

So, of course I suck up through the other end in order to get the most of the thief - otherwise it'd probably...
