I've brewed the ever so popular Raging Red Irish Red Ale from Mystic Mead here, but... I've hit all the numbers on my last 10gal batch 1.065 OG (a bit higher than expected) and 1.014 FG, but maltyness and caramel taste are pretty low compared to my last two batches :( I've switched to...

I've got some 2 year old hops (whole, not pellets) in my freezer, not sealed, just freezer ziploc bags. I got both centennial and nugget. I had planned to make an IPA, but haven't brewed in a year. Is there a way to test them? Like making a tea or something? They still smell quite strong...

I'm wondering if it is possible to use 120v inside my 240v control panel without making the GFCI trip? A friend had a doubt on that since I said the gfci checks for inbalance. I'll get all 3 wires (L1-N-L2) inside my control panel, but everything would run off 240v including the pids. I'll have...

I've been looking around the internet for a few weeks now and I'm so close to buy all the parts to switch to electric brewing. It's mainly to save on propane (more for cooking in summer) and I'll be able to brew in winter too... I'm still living in an appartment so I can't switch out breaker...

I've searched all kinds of forums and websites for a diy stir plate. I've tried to make one with power regulator and all, did not work. But I found this for 13$, I think you can't beat that: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00G059G86/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 Add magnets and you've got a fan...

I'm brewing in the afternoon and I thought I could get some input on my crush while I'm at it. I sprayed water on the grains and let them rest for a bit before crushing with my Cereal Killer at around 0.29. All grains seems to be crushed, but alot are still inside the husk.

I have lots of friends who aren't really beer people, but like "Apple beer" alot. This one in fact : Leferbvre Newton Problem is, it's not always available and it's pricey. Any idea how I could get something that taste only just a bit like the real thing? How do I guess the yeast strain...

I'm new to homebrewing and will be brewing my first beer in two weeks. I'll do an oatmeal stout, all grain. I have questions regarding the volume of sparge water to use. The recipe calls for 2 equal sparges. Lets say I'm doing a 5g batch, assuming around 70% efficiency, beersmith says I...
