So I recently brewed the AH Blue Moon Clone and was disappointed when I measured the FG as 1.005. OG was 1.053 and should have stopped at 1.012. Definitely tastes thin and watery. I mashed for 90 minutes at 151 which dropped to 149 by the end. Recipe called for a 150 mash. I've measure my...

So my LHBS doesn't have Caramel 10. First I thought I would just switch to 20L and cut it to 4 oz and increase the 2-row to make up the gravity points. Then I thought that maybe the presence of the caramel at all may make it too sweet with the honey malt. I've never used honey malt but I've...

I just did my first BIAB last weekend. I have a very small stove, so small that I was actually able to position my brew kettle over 2 burners. It's a 10 gal SS and I was able to boil 6.5 gallons no problem. In the past I have been able to do 5+ in my aluminum kettle over one burner. It just...

I'm planning to brew a blonde ale for some easy Spring drinking and was hoping to get a good amount of citrus hop flavors in there. Please take a look at my recipe and give me some advice: Grain Bill: Pale 2-Row 9 lb. Caramel 10L 0.5 lb. Honey Malt 0.5 lb. Carapils 0.25 lb. Hops: 0.5...

You, sir, are quite generous. Even if I don't get it I appreciate the offer!

5 gallons. Honestly, 8 oz. sounds like a lot for 12 gallons. I think typically you want to use 1-2 oz./5 gallons. Of course you can always taste the beer every couple of days until you get the flavor you're looking for.

I made a bourbon stout in August that has turned out great. Not too strong of oak and just enough bourbon flavor. I soaked 1 oz. of oak chips in ~6 ozs. of Wild Turkey 101 for 2 weeks. Racked on top of the chips (didn't dump the bourbon in, would be too strong) and let sit in the secondary for 2...

This is looking like the last decent weekend before a shotty Ohio winter. Hitting the golf course one last time!

I bought a funnel that has a stainless steel mesh strainer that can clip into it. Strains very well. Too we'll actually. It clogs up while the wort is passing through it quite often. Despite the extra process and delay in getting an airlock on the guy, I've not had an infection yet! *knock on wood*
