Looking at optimizing my brew day by splitting one BIAB boil into two beer styles. Has anyone tried this and had success or stories to tell, which styles did you create? I am looking to split the wort post-boil, not the pre-boil sort as I can only do one boil at a time. My plan would be to...

Hi, So, here is a puzzle. I'm aging a hard cider in two secondaries but they look completely different even though they started out in the same fermenting vessel. I started out with 2.5G of farm-fresh apple cider (no preservatives added) fermenting in a 3G glass carboy, and after 3 weeks...

I'm a novice brewer - currently have a Caribou Slobber extract kit on the go but want to move on and brew up a BIAB beer. 1) I want to give a 1-2 gallon BIAB batch a go. I'm looking for a simple wheat beer recipe with a quick and easy grain bill (something akin to a Leinenkugels or Blue...

Hi, I'm brewing up my first beer - a 1 gallon batch of CS from NB. The beer is currently sitting pretty in the fermentor at 70F (fermentor temp) and has been for the past couple of days - the bubbling had almost stopped when I checked this morning. My question is - should I consider moving...
