    Help Converting Hazy IPA to Hazy Pale Ale?

    Hi. Could use some help with this conversion. I won’t bore you with why I want to convert this but it’s important to me. I don’t want to post the recipe I’m starting with cause it’s a member exclusive. I know that makes it hard to help but hoping for a little. It’s fairly standard 2 row...

    Double IPA Epic Day Clone

    A couple years ago I owed a friend with a kegerator, who doesn't brew, a favor. He requested Eddyline Epic Day. I love Eddyline as well and it's located near one of my favorite weekend getaway spots so I was very excited. Nobody online had a clone so I tried on myself. My first try wasn't even...

    Which Counterflow Chiller?

    Hi all. I’ve been looking to upgrade from my DIY counter flow to something better. I was about to pull the trigger on an Exchillerator after deciding that’s what I want. But I was in my LHBS yesterday and he had what seemed to be a used all copper chiller. It was tagged at $200 but he told me...

    Whirlpool placement for BIAB and recirculating?

    I currently biab in a cooler with propane burner and kettle. Been wanting to upgrade to eBIAB for a while and thinking of taking advantage of Black Friday to start a diy build. I’m planning to build something similar to a BrewHardware setup with some tweaks. I am planning to recirculate over the...

    Yeast Help for DIPA Clone

    I know this is the second clone question I've started recently but putting the previous experiment on the back burner while I focus on one I've worked on longer care more about. I've been working on a clone for Epic Day DIPA from Eddyline brewery for about 6 month now. I think I've just about...

    Help Finding “Mountain IPA”

    I’m looking to brew a beer for my buddies 40th birthday party. Currently his go-to beer is Odell’s Mountain Standard IPA. I’m really looking to copy this for him. There currently is no clone recipe. They refer to it as a ‘Mountain IPA”, a cross between West Coast and New England. Seems like...

    Bottle Condition or Keg for Competition?

    Hi all. I’m entering my very first homebrew competition next week and wanted some opinions on how to bottle. I currently keg all my beers but have some fermdrops because I usually make one or two bottles to age or give to friends. I just fill them from the spigot on my fermonster. The beer is...

    Question About Keg Secondary

    While I have never done secondary for simple beers I just recently switched to dry hopping in the primary and keg as well as doing secondary in the keg for beers that require secondary. I brewed a sorta Scottish ale a month ago and the recipe says after 2 weeks in primary to secondary for 4...

    Problem with Brew Father and ph

    Hi. I am having a problem with my ph always coming out low. I am very new to water adjustments. The only thing I am doing currently is Sodium Metabisulphite for chlorine and lactic acid to lower ph. I’ve got pretty good water so just starting small. I started both these changes at the same time...

    Question about adding DME after bad efficiency.

    I just brewed and came out .010 low. According to the math I got 50% efficiency when I normally get around 75%. I tried a new sparge method for one and also I let my LHBS mill my grains which I normally don’t do but was in a hurry. I noticed him messing with his mill before hand and adjusting...

    Help With Douglas Fir Beer

    So my Great Dane is named Douglas Fur because me and my wife are very corny and like punny animal names. We also lately have been making some recipes that have some relation (name and/or ingredients) to the pets we've had in our lives. I've got two already that will be regular rotations in my...

    To keggle or not to keggle

    So after a year break, not intentional just a bad year, I've starting brewing again. After brewing last night I've decided it's time to stop using my 7.5 gallon pot. I've used 10.5 gallon pots before and feel like that's a good size for me. I do BIAB with a poor over sparge and use the steamer...

    Made myself a tap handle

    Been wanting to get a nice tap handle that tells me whats on tap. Finally made myself one. I usually brew 2.5g and bottle so mostly keep commercial stuff in my keezer. So I made this handle that I can put the keg caps on. Just drilled out this puck shape and put an edge on it. Then attached it...

    Another fermentation/controller temp question

    Did some quick searching and didn't find the answer. Sorry if it's somewhere. I built a Ferm chamber last week with an STC-1000 and last night I brewed and am using the chamber for the first time. I'm using WLP380 Hefe yeast for a honey wheat. White Labs says 66-70 degrees, so I set it on 68...

    Hey guys. Found a monster mill MM3 on Craigslist for $150. Guy says not used much. I think it's a sweet deal but wanted to check here before pulling the trigger.

    Newbie first recipe

    So my first ever from scratch recipe. I've been brewing BIAB for a year now but have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to recipe making so please don't hold back. Not much to it cause I wanna keep it simple. Been really wanting to do a hoppy wheat. I love wheats and, while I don't like IPAs...

    Idea for maintaining mash temps

    Living in Colorado and doing my BIAB on a turkey fryer outside the start of winter means the start of stressful brewing. The cold reeks havoc on my temps through the whole process, but especially mashing. I always wait for a warmer day to brew, wrap my pot in a comforter and bring it inside...

    Cider not clearing

    Made my first cider and thought I was gonna bottle tomorrow but when I checked it I discovered it hasn't cleared at all. I don't have my exact recipe cause I'm at work but I did 3 gallons of cider, some tannin, yeast energizer, and dry yeast. I can't remember if it was a wine or champagne yeast...
