I just sampled my first brew using RO water (with gypsum), and what a difference water makes. I brew mostly IPAs in BIAB, and all my previous brews just were just meh, no real hop flavors or aromas, not matter how much more hops i kept adding, or played around with the hop schedules. They also...

Hey guys, I'm heading to the America on tap beer festival tomorrow night. Its sold out, so I'm assuming long lines to taste the different beers. Can anybody recommend from the list at the bottom of the page (http://americaontap.com/honolulu-hi/#), what beers I definitely have to try, as I...

Hey guys, I just drank a bottle of my IPA, my first attempt at my own recipe. It came out pretty good, the bittering was right on, but I feel it needs more hop flavor and aroma. I would like to make this again, so I was hoping for some input on when I should up the hop additions or maybe some...

I just had the Maui Brewing Company Lorenzini Double IPA, and I must say it is a great beer. A very drinkable double IPA. It is brewed with blood orange and tangerine juice. If you like Ballast Point Grapefruit Sculpin, you will like this beer. Readily available here in Hawaii of course...

What is the average cost per pound for grains? Not in bulk. At my LBHS the cost for a pound of grain and pound of LME is practically the same ($3.00/grain vs. $3.25-$3.50/LME). And my understanding for an all grain recipe, I will need more lbs of grains as opposed to lbs of LME of a extract...

I have noob question about priming sugar calculator, when it asks for volume of beer, am I supposed to put my batch size (5 gal) or the amount I am actually bottling? If it is the actual amount I am bottling, then the conundrum I run into is that I only know how much volume I am bottling after...

About 10 days into my first brew, a pale ale extract kit from the LHBS (Homebrew in Paradise). Due to temps here, I have been fermenting in a water bath. Just took my first gravity reading, it's at 1.011. Will check again in 3 days, and plan to bottle if FG is the same. Of course I had to taste...
