I want to make a beer with 50% 2Row, and 50% of another "malty" flavored grain. ABV is not extremely important, however I want a grain that ferments out pretty well. Getting some color from it would be a plus but is not mandatory. I was thinking Special B but found that it might not ferment all...

Hey, just brewed a beer this past weekend. Went well, except my aluminum brew kettle had pinholes in it and leaked. Long story short, had to use a 4 gallon stainless pot to boil in. So it wasnt a "full" boil. Diluted with 1.5-2 gallons cold water at end to bring to temp. What I wanted...

Hey, my CO2 tank with dual regulator attached was tipped over, and sure enough it fell directly on the dual gauges. This broke off from the main regulator, but left the screw inside the center piece. My question is: Is there a place that sell just the center piece of the regulator?!!? Id hate to...

What happens if during lagering, temps rises up to about 50F? I want to start another lager but already have this one fermentation fridge. If I kept temp at 50 for fermenation for the first one, and let it go down to 50 after diacetyl rest instead of lager temps, could I ferment the next lager...

I want to brew a batch of Pumpkin Porter, and a standard Pale Ale. I was going to keg a full 5gallon batch of the pumpkin, but decided I only want about a 24 pack of the pumpkin, and am going to keg the 3-4 gallon Pale. I am admittedly not the most technical person, and sometimes dont take...

Brewed an octoberfest last weekend on Sunday. Boil and everything went well, made a yeast starter: 1.1 gallons starter at ~1.030 OG for starter. The yeast however was shipped without an ice pack, and came from Minn. to South Florida. I got the White Lab vial of Southern German yeast 838(?)...

Hey guys. I have finished my 5th batch of beer. However, out of the past four, three of them had off flavors. The best way I can describe them is a mild "cinnamon" type flavor. Some have had it stronger than others. The past 3 batches have been all grain. Odd thing is, the first batch I made...

Me and a friend are brewing Irish Red Ales and having a little competition. I am going with the classic Irish Red style. I have been reading up on this a lot and have almost completed my recipe: GRAINS 2-Row : 7lbs M.Otter : 3lbs Roasted Barley : 2-4oz @ Mashout Crystal 40L : 0.5lbs...

Just recently into homebrewing. Pushed out three extract kits, one Cream Ale that was perfect. Also set up an all-grain cooler system, used it twice and beers are fermenting, but the process was perfect. Just saying hi to this community. I have a bunch of questions and look forward to getting...

Okay, I recently pushed out my fifth batch of beer, which was all-grain. It is fermenting along with the previous back right now. A month ago I did a Pils style ale, with 3lbs of Pils extract, and 3lbs of pils grain. This was a smaller batch. It just spent two weeks in the bottle for...
