Hey just throwing an idea out there wondering if people have done this. Has anyone used two different strains in a single batch before? Just wondering if you could try making a hybrid beer style using two or more strains. Hoping for some fun conversation on this Sent from my iPhone using Home...

Hey not sure if I can get this stuff somewhere else but my home brew store doesn't have it. Can I substitute malto dextrin for it? Can I just add extra belgian candi sugar. Did some research and it just looks like syrup. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Long story short..... Making a delirium tremens that requires yeast at the start and a second yeast prior to bottling. Can I Open wyeast package without the nutrient and split it into two equal parts. One part made into a starter one part put into a sterile jar for use 17days later. Is this a...

Hey guys quick question might be dumb. I came across a bunch of stubby la chouffe bottles and I am planning on bottling a hefe in them. Think this will cause any problems? I know hefes are usually in tall bottles with long necks. Might just be paranoid. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Hey I made a 5g recipe and for some reason missed about 2quarts of water. Pitched the yeast then realized it. Can I gently introduce some water to it it's 3hrs after. I am assuming the beer will be super concentrated. Hat should I look forward to getting if I use the 4.8gallons besides less...

Is it not a good idea to use a plastic jug as a carboy? Like the 5gallon ones. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Hey guys, brewed a hefeweizen from steeping bag and DME. I sterilized and followed the recipe to completely except I got excited to throw the hops in and put 60grams of hallertaur 3.9%aa at start of boil, when it only called for 39grams. I felt like an idiot but continued on. Got great colour...

Doing a chainbreaker white ipa in a partial mash adaptation of a full mash. I saw that in the full mash it calls for lactic acid was an addition during the recipe. Not sure what its for. I don't really care but my co-brewer has OCD and wants to be sure we aren't messing it up. Any quick info...

I have been watching this like a hawk. It's a Belgian golden ale(turned darker due to amber candi) and I put Wyeast Ardennes in it. it is in my basement with a warming belt on it and it is holding 68-70degrees. My question is what should I see, because I am seeing wicked crazy activity through...

I have seen the general consensus on hef's is to not rack to secondary and just let it ferment in primary. So should I just add the priming to the primary despite all the gunk(yeast flim) and stuff in the primary. I know the beer is supposed to be cloudy but i don't want stuff floating around in...

My recipe called for LME for last 15mins of my pauliner clone heff, but I couldn't find the specific one I wanted so I opted to add the equivalent in DME. Are there any strategies to getting the DME into the boiling hit wort without it clumping? Any help would be great! Sent from my iPhone...

Hi guys, about to do a partial mash brew and the recipe calls for an extra 1.5gallons after putting the wort in fermenter. Just checking but is this typical? I'm just a rookie so this is my first solo brew. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew
