So, lets say I have a yeast that's hard to find, and I want to continue to use it for many batches down the line, but know I won't be able to get it at the homebrew store again any time soon, if ever. Say I also want to build it up to pull X amount out to share with friends to use. Starting...

Sitting out on my deck smokin a fat ass cigar with a nice glass of whiskey to join it, I've decided to reach out to the interwebs for help with a recipe that has frustrated me beyond belief. For years, I've been trying to recreate something similar to Paulaner Hefeweizen or something along...

Some years ago I had a beer from New Belgium brewing called coconut curry hefeweizen in a bomber bottle. Absolutely loved it. Discovered one of my local bars had it on tap for a tap take over night, but never finished it. I asked them to re-tap it, and I sat there belly up at the bar and...

Will this fridge work with these kegs? I can't find any mention of internal measurements, so more so wondering if anyone else has used a small fridge like this for their kegs? Trying to avoid putting a second full size fridge in my small house...

Hey guys. I'm new here, and new to brewing as well. I've brewed 5 batches, with the 5th still sitting in secondary. All my kits have come from Midwest supplies. I've been having some issues with the taste of my finished product, and I don't know what could be causing it, but I suspect my water...

Two of my best friends are getting married in may, and I have yet to decide on what to get them for a wedding gift. all the crap on their wedding registry sucked lol, so i'm going to deviate and get something fun. they're both big beer drinkers, so I thought getting them a home brew kit would...
