So I was out to lunch when I see a text from my wife saying my beer leaked everywhere. I'm thinking the keg leaked and I've lost the rest of my DIPA. I come home to find out the Belgian Tripel that had been sitting in secondary for 7 weeks is the one that leaked everywhere. So the bottom of...

Just want a quick opinion. I brewed an extract hop head IPA from Midwest. Second time I have done this. Went very well the first time. I fermented for 16 days in temp controlled freezer. All was good. I kegged it and let it sit in the keg for two weeks. It started getting above 75 in my house...

I am planning my first recipe. I haven't seen many hoppy wheat recipes on here so I though I would post it. I am currently fermenting the Jawbreaker Pale Wheat from Midwest Supplies. I used US-04. After I keg I will use the yeast for this brew. Method: All Grain Style: American Wheat or Rye...

Well...My first two all grain beers have been messed up by mistakes with the yeast. I have ordered a hydrometer. I didn't have it for this brew. I made a belgian wit and kegged it after ten days when the bubbles stopped. However, after sampling in the keg the beer smelled and tasted pretty bad...

I am assuming there is a good reason for not doing this, but I haven't read anything about it yet. I am doing my first AG tomorrow. I have read that a stuck sparge can be an annoyance. Is it okay to throw all the grain in a big muslin bag to avoid this or will that decrease the extraction from...

Oh man…has this happened to anyone? I was brewing a strawberry blonde today and when it was time to chill the beer I hooked the wort chiller up to the outside faucet and started chilling. After a minute a leak started in the chiller right where the tube meets the copper. This is only the 3rd...

I am planning to brew the succulent strawberry blonde this week. I thought I would juice the strawberries. 2 questions - should I still use all eight lbs of strawberries? Also...I have heard when you juice fruit it immediately oxidizes...should I worry about this affecting the beer? Thanks...
