I have made a few batches of mead in the past because as a new beer homebrewer I figured hell it's the same equipment, why not? However I am now wanting to take my mead making seriously. In my ealier batches I used fresh fruit to accent my product. (With decent results) I have (4) 1 gallon...

Plan on brewing a imperial stout or porter from an ingredient kit. Want it to be espresso infused. What's the best (preferred) method for doing such. Step by step advice if possible. (This is what I would do...) Soak wood chips or spiral in cold brew. Then add chips to brew during secondary.

Purchased an Anvil 6.5 gallon stainless steel fermentor a few months back. Used this quarantine time to brew an American Pale Wheat. Already know how most around here feel about moving to a secondary. Questions: 1. For clarity sake I always visually could see when to move to next step when...

Currently I have two 6.5 gallon carboys and six 1 gallon carboys. I have bottled maybe a dozen batches since I started homebrewing little over a year and a half ago. (Yes...Still a noob) The advice I seek is I am considering getting a stainless steel conical fermenter or something in the...

Rules: 1. Name a Brewery you have visited this calender year. 2. Name a beverage you would recommend from this brewery in parentheses. Example: 33. Sample Master Craft Brewery (Big Sample Porter) 3. As the brewery count increases, number the breweries in sequence based on the previous post...

Still brewing from kits for now and I recently purchased an American AMBER kit by Brewers Best. However I'd like to experiment with this batch. I'd like to make this batch resemble a Christmas Ale/Holiday Ale style brew. Pretty sure the way to go is too add a tincture. Anyone have a recipe...

Brewed my 1st Porter batch. The plan was to have this be my first batch that I don't move to the secondary. However I want a little a vanilla infused in it. Can/when do I add a vanilla bean during primary fermentation. (How long?) Or do I actually have to do this during the secondary stage...

Starting 5th batch ever: American Pale Ale. Set to finish @ 5.0 to 5.5 ABV Can someone give me a step-by-step process of how to raise the ABV to 6+ either while brewing or during fermentation?

I have a beer bottle collection and I am about to purge myself of a few as I remodel the man cave. Some of the bottles [full] date back to the mid-90's. I actually have forgotten what some of these beers taste like and I am actually considering tasting them before chucking the bottle...

I have never dry hopped before (this is 4th brew). Based on the instructions it seems like I will be putting it in the fermenter, letting it age a week+ then put it in the carboy with additional hops... Is that the process?

Moving my Belgian Golden to secondary on Saturday. Fielding ideas for flavor infusing. Only my 3rd batch so still new to flavoring. 1st batch was amazing: just playing around trying to learn on the fly.

I've have seen these two terms thrown around often here but need them fully explained to me. 1. "Drinking Green" 2. "Flameout" (used when talking about brew day). Think I know what they mean but 2x checking.

Recently I bottled my first batch. I ran out of bottles near the end, so the last 40 ounces or so I bottled in a large kombucha bottle I sanitized. What I need explained is I have been drinking the beer bottled in that vessel for the last 2 1/2 weeks and it has yet to lose an ounce of...

When you start to use gelatin for fining do you still need to use the airlock for the process? Facing an issue with fridge space. Would fit without it.[/*] Will not with it.[/*]

Let me start by saying I am extremely brand new to this and so far have been gaining most of my knowledge from the "University of YouTube" (UofYou) hahaha. [Belgian Golden Ale] I have transferred from my primary ferm to my 5 gal. carboy for secondary ferm. Been 7 days in the 2nd so far and is...

Just made two 1 gallon batches of mead. Extremely new to brewing so I'm sure to be seeking advice from everyone from meads, brew, and quite possibly kombucha. 1. How much conditioner should I add to 1 gallon of mead prior to bottling? 2. Is conditioner something I can add during my 2nd...
