I'm in a pinch and have mis-placed (read::wife threw away) some barbed liquid-side keg couplers for a Corny keg. I have plenty of the gas-side ones. Can I use them? They seem to fit and lock like a liquid side, and the insides/piping look the same to me. Any thoughts? I'm pretty sure...

In the process of boiling a Belgian Quad that will finish around 1.103. Got busy with SWMBO and forgot to check the mash temp until close to 45 minutes. Turned out to be ~145F. Maybe this isn't an issue, but if I end up with a 1.103 Belgian Quad with a FG of ~1.010, it might taste a...

Had a bunch of frozen 2010/2011 hops that needed a home. I'm looking for advice on a specific dry-hopping schedule for this beer. 6.5 gallons 15 lbs 2-row 2 lbs wheat 1.5 lbs sugar 1.0 lbs honey malt 2 oz columbus (60) 4 oz mixture (30) 6 oz mixture (15) 6 oz mixture (2) 8 oz...

Just before the beginning of the year, I brewed a Robust Porter recipe with English yeast. It had a nice roasty character, but also an underlying sweetness born from low attenuation (finished at 1.026...still don't understand why:mad:). So, I pitched a sour starter that I had been developing...

I brewed a pale(ish) sour with a combo of base malts (golden promise, vienna and munich). I transferred it today for the first time since brew day, and it already is tasting VERY sour...like it might be done soon. The OG is down to 1.007. I know I need to let it sit another month and get...

Trying this recipe out to test Galaxy. Thought it would be a good pairing with Simcoe...any thoughts? 11 lbs 2 row 2 lbs rye malt 8 oz carapils 4 oz C40 4 oz C80 1 lb sugar Mash at 150 60 minute boil: 2 oz Columbus (FWH) 1 oz Columbus (60) .5 oz Simcoe, 1 oz Galaxy (10) 1 oz...

When I see people using Simcoe, Amarillo and Citra for bittering, it makes me want to cry. Sorry...I've seen way too many recipes lately that use Simcoe especially for bittering. /end rant

Good sours seem to be more tied to the right combo of microbes and time/temperature. Extract beers seem to leave more residual extract (food for bugs) compared to a lot of AG beers (especially those mashed lower). Does anyone have experience souring beers made from extract? Is there a big...

So I was doing a little planning for my brewing schedule over the next 2-3 months, and did a hop inventory...and I think I have a problem. My hop inventory is: Pellet: Citra - 20 oz (2010) Galena - 8 oz (2010) Hersbrucker - 10 oz (2010) Warrior - 9 oz (2010) Riwaka - 7.5 oz (2011)...

I was curious what the gravity/abv limits were for lacto and pedio. I know they will eventually produce enough acid to cause pH problems, but can too much alcohol or too high an OG cause problems? I'm asking in terms of thinking about brewing a 10-11% dark sour, and wondered if this was even...

So, I have about 3oz each of Amarillo, Centennial, Simcoe and Citra (leaf) from last year left. I ordered my allotments for this year...am I missing anything? 1 lb Columbus 1 lb Cascade .5 lb Amarillo .5 lb Citra .5 lb Centennial .5 lb Simcoe .5 lb Chinook .5 lb Nugget .5 lb Warrior...

How long does it typically take Hops Direct to process an order? I placed my hop order on Monday and haven't been billed. I did receive an email saying what I had ordered, but nothing since.

Thinking of this: 9lbs base malt (mixture of pilsener, vienna and us 2-row) 1 lb Black Prinz .5 lbs C60 .5 lbs C20 1 lb sugar C-hops US05 yeast Mash at 150(ish) shooting for 1.070 OG Any thoughts on the malt bill?

I'm brewing the following beer: 10 lbs Floor Malted MO 1 lb Crystal MO US05 yeast I have the following hops, in large quantities: Amarillo Simcoe Cascade Citra Chinook Centennial (seeing the picture) Hersbrucker Willamette Warrior Nugget What hops would you recommend...

I love them. I know that Columbus is usually a key hop in a really earthy, dank IPA. What hops do you pair them with to get the great dank character, or is this a single hop phenomena? I know some use Columbus and Cascade together, but I want to get a consensus (of sorts). :mug:

Recommendations? I was thinking about a SMASH, but I'm not sure what hops to add. Would a SMASH be a waste of this malt? Need some help here people.:mug:

Looking to do a hopbursting SMASH: 10 lbs Golden Promise 1 oz Citra at 20,10,5 2 oz Citra at 1 3 oz Citra at KO 2 oz Citra DH 7-10 days after fermentation is complete US05 yeast. Any thoughts...my first SMASH with GP.

Just racked my Berliner onto some peaches. There are splotches of white that are starting to pop up on top of the peaches/beer. Is this just part of a pellicle forming, or is this mold forming? If its mold, should I be racking the beer to get the junk out?

I just racked 5.5 gallons of Berliner Weiss onto 7.5 pounds of peaches. My typical ferment/aging time for Berliners is ~2 months. This one is a month old. How long should I expect to leave it on the peaches? Does it depend on flavor/aroma, or is it strictly gravity dictated?
