Ok, I've got an odd one for you... I have a few bottles of cider from an experiment I did last fall... I don't remember what I did, but the cider is a bit too cinnamony, and quite tart. I noticed I have some fresh apples, peaches and pears lying around... Has anyone ever made sangria with...

After making a suggestion to someone on the forum yesterday, I realized I hadn't thought about still beers since my trip to Great Britain 4 years ago. It's virtually impossible to research as any search for "still beer" will return, "is my beer still fermenting" or, "is my beer still good"...

i recently made a great batch of Irish Ale. Tasted great, the color was almost perfect, the ABV slightly high but not off putting. I primed and bottled and the carbonation turned out just right. But now that they’ve conditioned for awhile I have this problem where every time I pour one, (see...

Hi Everyone! I'm going make a short question long and complicated, because that's what I do best, which is why I have to ask the question in the first place (see what I did there?). I'm relatively new to brewing, I've done mostly ciders, but now have two successful beers under my belt which I...

Please don't let this become a homebrew thing... please... http://www.businessinsider.com/glitter-beer-is-a-thing-now-2018-3

Some techniques you should learn before you need them, even if you think you never will. For instance, knowing how to rig up a blow off tube made from spare parts can be incredibly important, especially if your LHBS is not open. Or, maybe just keep a blow off tube as part of your regular kit...

Soon I will be pursuing a nice Irish red ale brew. Smithwick's being my favorite, that is the direction I would like to move in. I've done a lot of poking on the internet looking for good clone recipes and found a handful that are either extract or easily converted to extract. However, this...

Hi Everyone! I've been brewing cider and I'm just now getting into beer via extract brewing. The instructions I'm seeing for most extract recipes are the same as all grain instructions in one aspect... after the boil, get your wort temp down to target as quickly as possible, either with an ice...

My third batch of cider is finally complete! Here’s how it went… I started with 6 gallons of Fresh, unpasteurized cider from a local orchard (thank you Sound Homebrew Supply!). Added Potassium Metabisulfite to stop things from going wild and waited 24 hours. I drew off 2 cups of the cider...

Not the trouble I was expecting to have... I let my 5 gallons of cider rest in secondary for a solid month... looked beautiful! I wanted a slightly sweet, carbonated cider, so I split the batch in half to play with flavors a bit, primed in two different ways and bottled. I used plenty enough...

Hi Everyone! I'm fairly new to homebrewing... I'm on my 3rd batch of cider and I'm loving it. Hoping to get into beer this winter. Looking forward to picking y'all's brains and such as time goes on.

Hi Everyone! I recently racked 6 gallons of cider to a carboy to rest and clarify. I had intended to leave it in secondary for 4 weeks before bottling, but after just one week I had a LOT of sediment fall out and it's clarifying very quickly. I've read a lot of advice about moving brew to...
