Have enough ingredients sitting around for a 2.5 gallon barleywine. Could be enough to do a full 5 gallons of a smaller beer, but I've got some 3 gallon better bottles that i'm wanting to use -- and i want to try no sparge. Anyway, here's what i've come up with based on what i've got at the...

Here's the deal. I've got the following amounts of the following ingredients. I want to make something that'll be ready to drink relatively soon and the only thing I want to buy is yeast for this particular batch. I've got a few ideas of my own, but I want to hear some other folks' opinions...

Just recently set up a home brewing blog through blogger.com. Don't know how interested anyone is in reading it, or how helpful it will be, but I thought I'd at least let some beginning brewers in here know about it. I'll be documenting brew days, giving book and product reviews and all sorts...

Here's the deal I've gotten into brewing bigger beers and – bigger beers only – as I'd rather sip two or three Russian Imperial Stouts or Barley Wines in a night over 8-12 Pale Ales. Accordingly, I'll drink probably all but a six pack of each batch after the proper amount of aging...

Looking at the 10 gallon pot from Blichmann Engineering to use as a boil kettle over a propane burner for 5 gal batches. This is also being purchased as part of my effort to start all-grain soon as my current pot is too small for that. Like I mentioned, I'll be doing 5 gallon batches and...

Put this in the beginners forum earlier and maybe that's not where it belongs. I've found a good bit of information on oaking stouts in the forum so far, but would like to ask a few questions: I'm looking to get close to Oak Aged Yeti or Espresso Oak Aged Yeti if I can. 1. I have both...

I've found a good bit of information on oaking stouts in the forum so far, but would like to ask a few questions: I'm looking to get close to Oak Aged Yeti or Espresso Oak Aged Yeti if I can. 1. I have both French and American oak chips. How much of each for a 5 gallon batch? If I don't...

Just bottled tonight. Didn't know if this was just residual krausen or an infection. Beer had a unique smell that I wouldn't characterize as vinegary, but instead like it was unfinished (as it should at this stage, I supposed). First time home brewing by the way. Feel free to tell me I'm a...

My name is Pete. I'm about to bottle my first 5 gal batch and brew my second in a few days. In the beginning: I bought a William's Home Brewing equipment kit and chose their Amarillo Ale as part of the package. I played with fire, made manly grunts, prayed to the beer gods and all that jazz...
