Not sure why this isn’t a sticky. Where are you guys sourcing GF malt? Just found Grouse malt on the interwebs but seems they don’t sell direct.

Question regarding lager attenuation. These were my 1st attempts at lager styles. Made a Vienna and a Munich Dunkel using 2308 Munich Lager yeast for both. Had a tough time getting these to attenuate fully. I usually get higher than normal attenuation on my ales. Vienna was OG 1.054, FG 1.014...

Getting ready to set up my keeper for reals and get away from these picnic taps. For shanks, should I get 3/16 bore or 1/4 bore and why?

Anyone ever keg smaller batches (2.5-3 gal) in a 5 gal corny? Should be fine if I purge, right?

I am using lager yeast for the very first time this week. I am wondering, when making a starter with lager yeast, do you do it at room temperature like an ale yeast? Or should it be cooler?

Putting my keezer together this weekend. Just wondering, if space is not an issue, do you keep your tank inside the keezer/kegerator or outside and why?

Pretty shortly I will be brewing my 100th batch (yay!) and have decided it's going to be a Belgian Quad. Chimay Blue is one of my favorite beers in the world, and I enjoy many other belgian beers/styles, but I've never actually brewed a Belgian anything (besides witbier). I'm planning on reading...

I will be using a keg for the 1st time this weekend. It will be in a keg cooler, using a faucet straight off of the disconnect and a co2 charger. It has been naturally carbonated in the keg, (2.2 vol) and I am wondering, do I have to release all the pressure in the head space in order to...

I am planning on running 4 kegs. I will be force carbing as well. I was thinking I need a 20 lb tank so I'm not refilling it every 3 days. How long do your various size tanks last? Should I get a 20 or smaller? Thanks.

I'm making a rye Ipa. What's the difference between these two in terms of flavor output etc.?

Bjcp says the grist of a wit should be about 50% unmalted wheat. Sooooo does that mean flaked wheat? Is there another source of unmalted wheat?

I just recently moved from direct fire mashes in my kettle to doing them in a round beverage cooler, 10 gal. I am dropping 6-8 degrees F by the end of a 60 min mash. I tried pre heating the cooler, but it didn't seem to make a difference. It seems to me this should not be happening. Anyone have...

Just curious, when doing a wheat beer with a 50/50 split of wheat and barley, how much rice hulls do you use? Figure 8-10 lbs of grain, mash ratio of 1.25-1.33 qt/lbs.

I typically don't make beers that are cloudy by their nature, however SWMBO has asked for a witbier. I usually throw in a Whirfloc tablet at 10 min, but I'm thinking, this beer is supposed to be hazy, so maybe I shouldn't. Thoughts?

Got a 1.092 English barleywine that's been in primary for 4 weeks. Thinking about doing a secondary for another 4 weeks. Or just bottling it. Either way I won't be drinking these till next January. Thoughts?

Trying my hand at a chocolate stout. Just wondering what people's thoughts are on this matter. Going for a chocolate flavor more on the subtle side of things, but not too subtle.

So I got these Polaris hops, 18.8% and said to have a glacier mint candy flavor. I was thinking of doing a single hopper to get a feel for these things. I was thinking a light dry stout at 1st, now I'm thinking the opposite end, a blond ale. Idk. Thoughts? Anyone used these? Btw I have 4 oz.

Real chill haze, as I understand it, is permanent. All of my beers however, go through a period of haziness right after I put em in the fridge, then they get crystal clear after a week or 2. Does this happen to anyone else? Is it avoidable? Would cold crashing the fermentor help? Sent from...

Just brewed a pumpkin wheat ale for a buddy. As I am not really a fan of pumpkin beers, I couldn't really tell if it hit the mark or not. He claims it needs a bit more actual pumpkin flavor (not spice). I did 5 lbs of fresh oven roasted pumpkin in the mash. How do the rest of you get more...

I'm sure this has been covered, but is there really any big diff between ball lock and pin lock kegs? Seems pin lock are way cheaper, sooooo why wouldn't I get those? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew
