I made the Octoberfest while he made the porter and he followed me step by step. All is well with those two brews. However on the stout, I had him try...

i made a pumking clone that is very high ABV. It's a 15 gallon batch of all grain and after loses, testing, and tasting it was about 12 gallons bottled. We made an error in calculating priming sugar and only added about 8oz of dextrose. It's been carbonating for 4 weeks at 70f. Am I over...

I know VERY little about electrical work and I want to make sure I am considering all elements during my build next week. I have attached a picture for reference. My major question is am I overloading any circuits and how to properly ground everything.

I want to get more serious about my homebrewing, and have purchased a 25 brew kettle and a 30 gallon cooler that I want to convert into a mash tun. I have a good bit of money into the pot and cooler, as you guys are aware equipment isnt cheap. I want to build my mash tun correctly but dont want...

So I'm Making an IIPA with a starting gravity of 1.090 and am shooting for a Final gravity of about 1.020. My recipes calls for a 9L starter, which I think is incredibly high!. I know if you make a liter starter you can get roughly 100 billion yeast cells if im not mistaken. Also if my maths...

My lager is done fermenting and the di-rest is finishing up. What is the next step to my lager. Is it bottle then lager for 2+ months or lager than bottle.

This is my first true lager and i wanted to verify my procedure so i don't ruin my German lager. My lager has been fermenting at about 10° for what will be 4 weeks on Friday. Airlock activity has slowed to about one burp a minute. I planned on doing a Di rest at 22° for 2 days after 4 weeks...

I want to start making 2.5 gallon batches of beer and experimenting with recipes. I was wondering if i could use a two 4L glass wine jug as a primary. I don't see an issue but I wanted to get a second (or third) opinion on the matter before I do it.

this is my first time making a lager and I pitched WLP830, didn't use a starter which I have found is my first strike, at 29C. I waited to see airlock activity and began to lager at 10-11C. Since I've dropped the temp I have seen no airlock activity. Is this because I only used one vial of yeast...
