Last weekend I brewed for the first time in a few years. Prior to my hiatus I picked up a pretty big stockpile of ingredients. Due to the current state of the nation, I got fired up and decided what have I got to lose, I'll brew and use the old ingredients...including yeast. To my question: I...

I brewed an ESB'ish 6 gal batch today and missed my target OG drastically. Target was approx. 1.055, I hit 1.040. I don't live anywhere near LHBS so I'll call it a session beer... no biggie. Here is what I did. I think the culprit was the how coarse the milling of my grain was and the...

A good (and generous) friend just gave me a 55lb sack of gambrinous esb grain.:rockin: I've never used it and haven't noticed many recipes that use it. Has anyone made anything they really enjoyed using the ESB as a base grain? If so, I'm looking for recipes. Thanks for any advice

I have been given 9Lbs of german pils LME that has been sitting around for a while. I don't have the capability to ferment much lower than 70º. Looking for recipe ideas that I can use this LME in. Thanks all

The friend I got my equipment from gave me an old kit still sealed up in the packaging. I know that I run the risk of it not being as good as it could be but... Wondering if you have used an old kit with new yeast and hops and what were your results?

Just bottled a 5 gal batch of honey nut brown from northern brewer. The OG was 1.054, the FG is 1.010. I wasn't able to find a projected FG in the info on their site. Anyone else made this one? If so what were your results. I used Wyeast 1056 with no starter. The smack pack showed good...

My basement is a constant 73º (not ideal...I know). Will I end up with banana flavor or some other off flavors? or Will it be fine since the temp is constant throughout the entire fermentation/ conditioning process.

Just wondering if anyone has tried T Can and Bearcats Wheaten Beatdown from Northern Brewer. If so, did you follow recipe exactly? Any adjustments? Did you like it? etc... Thanks in advance

Anyone ever used a submersible fountain pump to recirculate ice water through their wort chiller? I'm going to give it a try next batch. Wondering if anyone has had some good results with this idea.
