Well my strike temp calculator was way off I'm at 144 in the mash tun and boiling a small amount of wort to add back into it and bring it back up Sent from my SCH-I545 using Home Brew mobile app

Can anyone tell me what abv would be needed to not freeze in 13°f temp?

I'm brewing this tomorrow, it will be my first all grain brew and I wanted to keep it cheap and easy. I am brewing 10 gallons and dry hopping five of it with extra Willamette hops. I'm also using 3 pounds flaked maze instead of four because that's all that was available so I am adding an extra...

I recently brewed a bad batch of beer, I'm going to copy and paste the problem from a chart I used to work out what went wrong below. I'm wondering if this bad beer will make a good malt vinegar. I have five gallons of Apple cider vinegar ready to be bottled and was considering throwing the...

One more question, this is my first wine and I didn't really add anything to it for flavor just yeast nutrients and something to clear it up. Since then I see most recipes have tannin extract our something to get tannins from. I plan on cellering this for at least a year anyway is it to late to...

Thank you, that is an excellent suggestion I think I will just bottle it unsweetened and sweeten by the glass. To dissolve honey into my wine should I heat a small amount of water to dissolve the honey in and then use the honey water to add to the glass? Sent from my SCH-I545 using Home Brew...

I am going to try this, it is very similar to recipes that I used to make in 2 liter bottles except I always added a small amount of red pepper flakes as well. I have been wanting to make ginger all to keg and force carb but didn't really know how to switch my recipe up to make that much. Thanks...

March second will be my third time racking this wine with 2 months between. Right now it is very clear looking and I haven't gotten a single bubble in my airlock since the last time I racked it a month ago. My wife talked me into making this a sweet wine but I'm not sure exactly how to do it, I...

I plan on making this my first all grain recipe and brewing the first weekend I don't have to work which is unfortunately three weeks from now. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Home Brew mobile app

It ended up being about perfect, 8.3 %abv right now with just enough left that it should carb up just right. One thing that surprised me is how clear this is, while racking it, it was hard to tell if anything was moving through the hose. I bottled half in Brown 12oz bottles and the other half in...

Primary I didn't even put the lid on, it has been in secondary two months and this is the first time I have racked it from carboy to carboy. I didn't really word that well, since it is actually the second time I have racked it. While it is in carboy should I keep it topped off when I notice it...

Well my pumpkin cider is still bubbling and I am worried I put to much sugar in it, I like higher abv brews but not wine level. I am going to take a gravity reading tomorrow but if it is in the level I want I'm not sure how to stop it, should I cold crash, stovetop pasturize, add crushed Camden...

I just racked it for the second time I didn't have any white wine on hand so I topped it up with water. I'm not to worried about the abv especially since I changed my mind about backsweetening it. It needed more water to top it off than I expected, should I have been doing that all along or only...

A lot of the comments on the site mention dry hopping it so I figured I would take their advice and try that. I was going to buy the hop stoopid clone kit but I just ordered a two keg setup and the budget is low until after the holidays. This will be my first kegged beer.

Has anyone tried austin homebrew's brewing on a budget kits? I'm thinking of trying the ipa and the stout.

thanks!

I'm pretty new to brewing beer, I have done a lot of hard cider but only one batch of beer and it was an extract kit. I want to brew all grain and have done a ton of reading and watching videos and I think I am about ready, this seems like a good recipe for my first since I see a lot of comments...

24 hours after adding nutrient and still no bubbles so I am re pitching yeast now it is a little cooler in basement than I would like but the pumpkin cider is doing great so that shouldn't be an issue

I did five gallons with pumpkin and five gallons without, other than the pumpkin they are the same. Same amount of sugar, same yeast, sitting right next to each other so temp is the same, started the same day, everything is identical. The pumpkin is still bubbling really good but the other one...
