Hey all... usually my pride/ego/what-have-you would prevent me from asking such a stupid question, but I pulled the lid off my beer (first time using a bucket... smh), and there is this weird film on top of it. It doesn't look like any of the infections I've seen before. I didn't have time to...

Quick question, probably been asked a million times, but is a city water report going to be a good start for looking at my water overall, or do I need to get a detailed report based on what actually comes out of my tap? This is what I found online, recently updated: Source 100% well water...

I'm always looking for ways to save time brewing, because, as much as I love it... I don't love the amount of time it takes. I'm not really trying to find an easy button, but I'm trying to limit the amount of time that I'm tied up during the day, especially when I've got a wife/kid/dog to attend...

Hey guys, Long time poster. Almost 4 months now. Whoa, where does the time go, eh? But enough about me. I'm here to talk about a serious issue and it deserves to be given some thought. As a BMC drinker, I've run into certain situations where, when I post a picture of my Busch Light, people...

Time for the 4th solo batch of my homebrewing career... in an effort to split the brew day up for time management purposes (SWMBO), I will be doing a BIAB overnight mash on this batch. I have a 7.5 gal kettle that I'll be using for the primary vessel and will sparge into a 4 gal kettle to get...

I'm kind of curious about something. Let's say a batch ferments down within the first week to a stable FG (say a light beer, relatively low OG, etc.). If someone were to post the question, "Is the beer done?" It would seem that almost invariably, people will start telling the brewer to...

Hey all... third solo batch time, thought it would be cool to document with pics here. Noobing it up and showing you how easy it is to noob it up as well. We don't need kits and instructions... just a recipe and some ingredients. This is based on BMs Centennial Blonde extract recipe with some...

Hello all, working on my extract recipe for next brew day... looking for some insight. Haven't thought about the hops yet, just looking for the "base." I'm thinking of going with the following: 5 gal batch, full volume boil. .5 lb of crushed Carafa III and .5 lb Crystal 40L - steeped...

Ok... noob here, planning my brew day for tomorrow. I'm playing with free ingredients here so basically I have a can of Cooper's Canadian Blonde that I'm going to brew in a completely different way. 5 gallon batch 1 can Cooper's Canadian Blonde 3# light dme 1 lb corn sugar 250g maltodextrine...

Thought I'd introduce myself as I'll be poking around here quite a bit and posting once in awhile. Huge "craft beer" and homebrew fan... parents quit drinking about 3 years ago and Dad wanted all of his brewing stuff out of the basement, he was either going to sell or give to someone. I...

Hello all, first post... first batch. Brewed Coopers Irish Stout with SA-04 on 11/23 and only added approx. 58% of the required DME, and about 83% of the required dextrose. This was due to me not having a scale and incorrectly converting volume to weight, and just being not to bright in...
