So i made a monster IIPA last month. BRY-97 (1pkg) The original brix read 22. Four and a half weeks later my brix reading is 8. WITH THE ADJUSTMENT for alcohol, it comes out to around 12%. upon tasting it comes off a bit too sweet. Is it normal for such large beers to taste that sweet early? the...

My iipa came out to 22 brix. How long should I keep this on the cake before dry hopping it?

I have 1oz lite toasted oak chips that i boiled for 10 mins then let sit in some Jeffersons 10 year rye bourbon for a total of 8 days so far. How long should they soak in bourbon? And how long in the fermenter? I know i should taste it to see where i like it but i dont want to check everyday...

I was planning a honey-rye pale ale and wanted to add some bourbon soaked oak chips. I have never worked with oak before and would like to know the which kind of hops pair well with the wood. Also how to handle the chips before adding (quantity, soaking time, steaming?). Thanks for your help.

Mosaic pale ale. Bar none the very best i have ever brewed. I have been at it awhile now and am a bit of a snob. So this, isnt easy to say. So amazing. Tropical nose with easy hop flavor. Bitterness is on par with an papst or Narragansett. (ok a touch more). PERFECT!!!. MUG AND SUCH. CHEERS

I found beer in my co2 tank and gas lines and assuming the regulator. I burst carbed for the first time. Set the regulator to 30 psi for 24 hrs then purged and dropped it to 10. Later that night i had no pressure and beer in all my gear. How did this happen? Is my tank, reg, and line screwed...

Ive read that warm conditioning is faster, but what benefits (beside clear beer) does cold conditioning bring to the table? Also, is it smart to do the low and slow force carb method while conditioning? Lastly, is conditioning just to clear beer or are there better results then just fining agents?

i have read about force carbing a good amount and understand the set it and forget it method of setting to serving pressure and waiting two weeks. i have also heard of the quick method of turning up to 30 psi and rolling the keg, yadda yadda yadda. I was wondering if there was an in between way...

Where is the best/ cheapest place to buy cheese cloth for cooking and brewing?

I checked both with water and they both seem to be calibrated. My refractometer says ~12.5 - 13 and the hydro says 1.042 in 80° wort. Even with the temp adjustment its only 1.044. Thats a 5 to 7 point difference. Which should i trust?

I've never used mosaic hops and want to know what others have done with them. How many were used, when they were used and if they are a favorite. Cheers

first off all malts are final because they are already mixed and crushed. Hop schedual advice and possible malt additions, mash temps, etc. are all very welcome. this is for five gallons. also have citra hops available if i need to bump the ibu's. im looking for a low ibu pale ale quaffer...

My very first homebrew draft! The citricot ipa. 7% IPA brewed with citra hops and apricot. Big citrus flavor with delicate, yet apparent apricot undertones. (Think more apricot then dfh aprihop but less then magic hat #9). Again so happy this came out so well. I owe it all to hbt!

I carbed my keg naturally at the same time as i bottled. Same web based carbonation calculator and dme type for both. Can i assume the carbonation is the same in my keg as it is in my bottles? Sorry for such a stupid question. also what happens if I tap the keg, and its not ready yet? again I'm...

It blew up and sprayed gas everywhere. Its coming from the place my pen is pointing. What happened? Why? My fault? Dealer? Just got it filled an hour ago for the first time

Beverage factory has the best prices but shipping across the country is expensive and will take forever. Where did you get yours? Any good deals? Was planning on drilling through the mini fridge door. Any problems?
