    No carbonation in my Tripel

    Is it possible that the yeast got pooped out since it was a high gravity beer? I lagered my Tripel for a month at 54 F just as instructed, and it has been sitting at room temp for about a week now. There is absolutely NO CARBONATION whatsoever! Should I sprinkle some fresh yeast in each...

    Making Munich Malt Extract

    I have about 15 lbs of pilsen extract in my fridge, but several of the recipes that I am thinking of brewing call for Munich malt extract. I assume that I could just steep some munich grains to change make my own munich malt but I am not sure how much of the grain to use. Is there a formula...

    Best all around base malt extract: NB Pale, Pilsen, or Gold?

    Do you guys find one to be better than the others for many different styles of beer? The reason I ask is that I am going to purchase some bulk Norther Brewer extract and I wanted to have lots of options for my next few batches. It seems like lots of the higher gravity kits take the Gold...

    Dogfish Head 120 Min IPA?

    Does anyone have the recipe for it? I know, I know.....I should use the search function, but I did and the only answers that I found in the threads were people saying to use the search function without any sign of the actual recipe. Can someone just post the recipe if they know where it is?

    Too much sediment/problem with hops :(

    I have a 5 gallon batch of Double IPA in my fermenter right now, which I added 2 oz of Cascade hops to. Being a total novice to brewing, I think I made two serious mistakes: 1. Given that this was my first batch, I wasn't sure exactly how to do the boil of the wort. I had the wort on the...

    "upgrading" True Brew kits

    How would you go about making an IIPA out of an IPA kit or an Imperial Stout out of a regular stout kit? I am a total n00b and am curious how that would work, or if it would even be possible. Also, what would happen if I just used two of the kits in one batch? :cross:
