In February, we will be heading up to SW CT for about a week so my wife could see her family and kids can play in the snow. We haven't lived in CT since 2007 and at that time, it was really just a lot of local bars. I'm hoping for a few suggestions of breweries to visit. We will be in CT and MA...

We live in FL and my wife had to travel to San Francisco on business last week. Having never sampled this highly coveted beer, I asked her to try and locate a few bottles. I even brought up RR's distribution list and found locations near where should would be on Google Maps. Through some of her...

I had a yeast cake of 1968 ready and wanted to do a Taddy/Brown Porter, which will be split and half will be made into a S'mores Brown. I racked the wort onto the yeast cake yesterday but in thinking about this now, I'm wondering how this will actually turn out being I used this yeast instead of...

I’ve finally decided to start treating my water for a NEIPA I’m brewing tomorrow. I’ve spent nearly the entire day studying the Bru’n Water Calc, toying with the cells, reading all of the tips, etc. Being I cannot see how the values are being calculated or get a reference for the inputs/outputs...

Let me just be clear that I LOVE Citra but something went out of whack. I made an IPA which I used the highest amount of Citra yet. It was a 5g batch, Citra/Eureka/Galaxy @ 3.5/1/.5 oz whirlpooled, then 4/1.5/.5 dry hopped. It was dry hopped for 4 days and kegged on 9/26 (about 3 weeks ago)...

This is not my own recipe. It came from AHA’s “Top 50 Commercial Clone Beer Recipes”. The recipe is located here. Uinta Tangerine Hop Nosh is one of my favorite flavored IPAs and one I usually keep a few cans on-hand. I was excited when I seen AHA published a clone for it. I am dying to brew...

I am making a fruit wheat where I need to stop any active yeast before adding fruit. Typically, I would add the fruit at secondary, and let it ferment out but this is a new venture and cannot find clear information on it. I have both Potassium Metabisulphite and Sodium Metabisulphite. Also, the...

After beer has completed fermentation, is there a difference in taste and/or quality where the beer conditions? For example, a beer that has went through primary/secondary for a month. After that, you want to let it condition for another month to settle and come together (2 months total between...

I just built a box that has space for 2 stir plates side by side. I built a single stir plate a while ago using a typical setup using a potentiometer, LM317, heatsink, on/off switch, 2 caps and 2 resistors as found in several sites including HBT. I took this setup out of the single case and put...

I typically do not rinse my dry yeast however, I figured that since I do for the liquid strains, I might as well do it for the dry strains. I just kegged an IPA (5 gal) that was fermented on 2 packs of US-05. I dumped all of the trub into a 1-gal jug, filled with distilled water, shook and...
