Thinking of making a cider and was toying with the idea of making something in the 14-18% abv range. I have used the champagne yeasts for all of my other batches and figure it would be good for this big boy. Question is, would it be better to just get the abv up in the beginning with brown...

I have done a few small batches of ciders using store bought cider and apple juice. I had woodchuck ' granny smith cider and loved it. So I made a 1 gallon test batch where I cut up and blended 5 granny smith apples with a little cider. It's done in the primary, moving to secondary soon. Good...

Hello all, I have an issue with two beers I brewed. I brewed these two within the same week. One was an AG Irish stout I aged in cherry bourbon oak spirals in the primary, but in the 3rd week (I didn't have an available carboy). The other was an Partial mash pumpkin milk stout. They have both...

Did a brew with t-58 safebrew. Poured a sample an all this white stuf was floating around in it. Is this from the yeast? A contamination?

I made a 8.5% (hopefully) ipa with 8.5 ounces of hops (I got a little too excited) . I used safale 05 for the pitch. Thinking of using the safebrew t-58 for a second pitch.... Suggestions, comments, ideas?

I checked on my Russian imperial stout and saw this white residue floating on the top. Is this bad? -Franz

I have some leftover pumpkin spice from my pumpkin porter recipe. I also just bought northern brewery's chinook IPA extract kit and was thinking of throwing the spice in the last 5 minutes of the boil. Anybody ever try this? Pumpkins and IPA's are my two favorite beers, but it doesn't mean they...

Looking for some advice. I'm relatively new to brewing. I have had apple brandy soaking in oak chips for about 2 weeks. Not sure whether to make a porter, stout, or IPA. Any suggestions??
