Hi guys! I'm making my first IPA and I was looking for some advice. I really want to make a maltier IPA but I want a reasonably strong hop profile. I'm really looking for something a little sweeter with a grapefruit kind of taste. I'm sort of confused when it comes to the hop schedule,most of...

Hi guys! I live in Austin,TX and I have been brewing for almost a year now. I just started doing all grain and was looking to see if someone who has been doing this for awhile would be willing to "tutor" me during a brew day. I would be very willing to pay for the help, if you interested...

Hi guys, This is my second all grain beer and my first wit! My understanding is that for a Wit I will need to do a Multi rest Infusion? Is this correct? Also with a multi rest it seems like like I'm going to have quite a bit of water before I sparge so when that happens how much water do I...

I'm doing my second all grain brew and wanted to get some input on my recipe. I'm trying to get a sweet maltier version of a wit beer. I'm really wondering if my proportions are right, if the honey malt is enough to come through slightly and what you think about my hop selection. Any help...

Hi everyone, I'm going to be brewing a Imperial Amber Rye and thought it would be nice to experiment with some medium smokey bourbon soaked oak chips. My question is when should I put them in, during the boil with the hops? or is it something that I should put in the primary? I'm looking...

I just brewed my Belgian last night OG: 1.098 Using Wyeast 3787 Right now the beer is sitting in my temperature controlled chest freezer and I have it at 60 degrees. The outside of the fermenter is at 61-62 degrees. Is this to low of a temp for that kind of belgian? Should I raise...

Hey guys I have posted on this before but I am beyond frustrated right now. I have brewed a few batches now and all with the exception of one have had a unpleasant taste to them that really covers up the true flavors of the beer. I'm thinking that it is medicinal (The taste lingers in the...

I brewed my first batch of beer and it had a slight either metallic or band aid flavored taste and it for sure didn't the same freshness that you would expect with a commercial brew. I haven't tasted my second brew as it is still aging and will be until late November, however, my third batch...

I'm sure there are many posts on this already but I have to ask. I have a therm that had a small portion of the bottom of it melt. A little bit of the red had subsided but i'm talking about a small portion of the bottom like the size of this smiley face :o. Should I worry? I really dont want...

So I'm headed onto my fourth batch now, to date I have made a belgian, pumpkin porter (still aging), and I also have a Old Ale still sitting in the primary. So far my beer has turned out pretty good. I noticed a little inconsistency in the first batch but overall it was great. My question is...
