I've been tweaking a recipe of an SNPA clone and I haven't been able to nail the hops at all, and I am really confused as to why. I've made two batches. The first recipe I felt needed more hops to get close to the SNPA (which in theory it shouldn't have because it was listed at 38 IBU)...

I've been looking into purchasing a conical. Blichmann's stuff looks class but I kinda sorta want to try a plastic one first. I was wondering if anybody had purchased a 15gallon inductor tank. Just wondering if there are any special things you need to do to the tank if you bought the plastic...

Where can I find top notch quality hops (fresh, whole hops) online? I live in the North East and id prefer a place close to there for quick shipping. Thanks

buttery was the off flavor...but a raunchy buttery flavor. 12# malteurop 1.25# crystal 60 1oz Magnum (60min) .5oz Perle (30min) .5oz Cascade (10min) Wyeast 1056 American Pale Primary-7 days Secondary-7 days Bottled- 14 days Brewed on 9/4/2010

I brewed the second round of this pale ale recipe I've been trying to master. Still lacking in hops and needs some more tweaking, but it has a pretty weird off flavor to it. It was bottled 2 weeks ago, carbonation on point. Does it just need time for the off flavor to condition out?

Did my first AG brew in awhile last night. Had a TERRIBLE case of foaming with the brew...threatened boil over for 40+mins (could've been longer, only started counting after a bit). Foam would NOT dissipate. I have very little head space and did not use anything like fermcap etc. Was...

does anybody know about rebelbrewer? whether they crush or not?

If I fork the $120 to buy a 7lb grain mill, would it be worth it if I mainly purchased my grains online? Is there anything special a home brew shop could do that I can't? Also on that note... I want to buy grains online from Rebelbrewer (they're listed in the vendors). Has anyone had any...

Bought a keg of bud diesel for my party Im having and its pouring a lot of foam, beer is still carbed just real foamy (full glass basically, then dissipates and the carb is still present but not real rocky per usual) I have my c02 set to 2psi or so, any thoughts to fix the foam? Line length...

My local home brew shop has recently been sold to some knuckle head. The other day I went in there to purchase an extract kit to refine my kegging technique with.... there was a lady there that had no idea what all grain brewing was, and asked me if it was hard. I'm assuming she doesn't know...

my outside diameter is 3/16 its a no go situation... hose is cheap tho no biggie thx for the reply

Bought some 3/16" hose and it won't fit my cobra faucet, I'm thinking that 3/16" means in the inside diameter? thx

ok once again, my cornelius keg is NOT hooked up to a tap...it has a spout that is black and I press it with my thumb to deliver the beer. I will try the same method with this but was wondering if the LINE attatched to said SPOUT ***NOT TAP*** needed to be longer. Thanks (capitals for...

My commercial beer lines flow fine with delivering beer from commercial kegs. I was wondering if my home brew keg's delivery hose is too short. I don't think I have ever successfully kegged a beer...but it does pour foamy which Ive been told can be cured by determining the correct length of...

I posted a thread a few days ago about kegging....got great feedback. One of the feedbacks was that my hose may be too short, its about 3-4ft in length. I was given a length to help me determine the adequate length of my hose. I do not hook my corny keg up to my keggerator (its commercially...

thanks for the links & advice everyone, I will be trying these tips with my extract brown that should be ready soon. In the meantime I'll be hitting my bottles with some AGs and maybe even throw one into a keg and try it out again!

I condition it in secondary usually for at least a week before transferring to a keg, does that count?

I have heard a little bit about beer lines and such (length) forcing the carb out. Can you explain that further? I got a corny keg with a 3' hose I think.

I have read the sticky....so reminders are not necessary. That being said, I have tried all but one method for force carbonating my cornelius kegs. I am going to list the methods I've tried and my results in a numbered fashion so people can respond accordingly to the numbers with comments or...

Does anybody use the 16gram cylinders of C02 to carbonate their kegs? If so, whats the process?
