We made a juice bomb IPA. It was incredibly aromatic, flavorful, ridiculous amount of hop. It's been little over a week, and we tapped the keg for a party... No aromatics at all. Drinks like a pale. Not much flavor. I don't understand what happened. This is an ongoing theme with us, as...

Sorry to ask the dumb questions, but I've been googling for days, and read the sticky, and I'm still not clear. We have some of the unopened drums from Bubba's Barrels. They are 18G SS and 50 gal. We had the lids cut off and all of our ferrules and necessary welds done. Now we're...

I'd like to try an experiment on a stout and do 1st runnings only. I have access to a second mash tun, so I could just split the batch in half and do half in each mash tun. The problem I run into there is how to enter things into beersmith and figure out volumes, strike temps, etc. When I...

Did some searching and couldn't find a thread on this from HBT. I'm trying to create maximum viscosity... something like Huna/Zhukov, Dark Lord, or Ten Fidy. Not just using oats to give a little enhancement of mouthfeel... I'm talking straight up sludge in a glass. I've been researching this...

Can anyone help me figure out what's going on with our CO2 transfer? We've recently starting fermenting our hoppy beers in our sanke kegs and trying to CO2 transfer like a commercial brewer would, so that we avoid oxygen pickup. Needless to say we haven't had any success. Here's what we're...

I've been struggling with this style recently, and it's driving me mad. I want to make a top notch IPA like the trillium, tree house, hill farmstead, boneyard, cellarmaker, barley browns, etc. I've been trying all kinds of different hop combinations, late additions, low mash temps, varying...

Hey everybody... I had some questions regarding using non-traditional ingredients in brewing to make a one off. I'd like to make a 'sweet potato casserole' brown for thanksgiving. I don't normally like spiced beers or any of the weird 20 ingredient recipes, but I think this could be good...
