I made this Rye stout maybe 2 years ago. I put in in a used bourbon barrel. The ABV I think is like 6%. It’s okay just seems like a strong flavor. I’m afraid to drink a pint though I can’t tell if I should dump it. Thoughts? Thanks

My 14 lbs of honey are sitting in 5.7 gallons of water at 70*. I pitched D47 yeast and added raisins. It’s been 2.5 weeks and the bubbles are going every 20 seconds... it’s never gotten aggressive at all. But it is bubbling so something is happening. I don’t want to pull gravity for fear...

So it’s been probably 2 months in primary with 6lbs of peach and apricot extract. I was already transfer to secondary I noticed the lees were like almost 1 gallon on the bottom. It moved around a lot like it was part lees and part honewine. If I would have racked it up to the spot where the...

In in SoCal, and it’s hot as F. Lately. Some are turning brown which I read is okay. I see the lupalin already and some are still green and have moisture. If anything if I harvest I have a dehumidifier too. Should I wait until next week to harvest or what you all thinking?

I started this double rye stout to eventually age in a whiskey Barrell... However it had started at a gravity level of 1.07 (5/6/2018) and now is only at 1.026 (5/26/2018). So this isn't the target gravity I'm looking for which is 1 or 1.01 ish. Do I add more yeast, What's the protocol...

I have three rhizomes that are already growing a lot. I dug yo where I was going to put them in the pic below but there’s concrete under the dirt near the wall there. The idea I had was to put beams in the dirt and have it go up the wall but I don’t know anymore because that ****** concrete...

Nothing has happened it's been 30 hours... I got some English ale yeast for a clone stone levitation ale I did yesterday, 3pm? Pitched at around 73 degrees, and I even made a yeast starter that morning which probably didn't really start so much. The wort is in my garage and in a minifridge...

Hey so I have carboy in the mini fridge with a temperature controller and it just started bubbling 4 days ago. The carboy has one of those stickers on the side to read the temperature, but when I set the temperature controller to 47 it reads on the carboy that its like 55 or 54? So then I...

So I did a Vienna style lager. This is the second one I've done but for some reason it's making me feel super bloated. Primary and secondary was about 6 weeks perhaps at 55 I believe it was. Tastes great! But I feel like exploding. Any advise? Josh

What do you think this is?

My friend lent me a plastic carboy and I had a bunch of wort in there probably at 100'. Impatient as I was I wanted to sleep and added almost 200' water to top it off. so it kinda caved in or hopefully not melted but check it out: Anyway I think it's fine but what about you all? Btw I used a...

I was dry hopping and the o ring broke into my keg! Fortunately I have an extra but the other is sitting at the bottom of my keg. This okay??? Thanks, Josh

Hi it's my first time kegging, and of course I'm going with a double ipa! I need it by Sunday to be carbonated so I did 30 psi, 20psi tomorrow and try it at 10 or something Saturday. I know I'm suppose to release the pressure valve though I have no clue how to do it. Ps it's in a fridge to...

So I did a half with 6 pounds of wheat extract and some other grains. It was a partial mash. I hear that the wheat beer can clarify it kept long enough but I'm just wondering how long does that take? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

What's a good beer to brew quickly I'm getting married August 2nd and want to hand out beers with sweet labels as give aways. I'm thinking an ipa but I don't know if everyone's into it. So maybe something different, though time is limited, any thoughts? Btw my wheat saison went over well...
