I brewed a 10 gallon batch of 2 hearted clone back on 8-24. It was to be 1 week fermenter, then dry hop another week in primary then rack to secondary and sit for 2 weeks then bottle. I did everything up until the bottle in 2 weeks. It has been in secondary 6+ weeks now and I would like to...

I have brewed a couple things from the book "Clone Brew" and followed the 90 minute mash and 90 minute boil doing BIAB. Has anyone else done the brews from this book with a 60 minute mash and 60 minute boil. I would also assume to use the hop additions at 60 full volume per the 60 minute...

I know a lot of people have put calculators on here and the web. I wanted something to fit what I needed so here is what I came up with. Anyone see any problems with it or suggestions to add? How do the numbers look to some of you who may use them?

Is there a reason everyone puts the thermometers up at 1/3 up to mid level of the pots. I do BIAB and want something that I can use a false bottom or cooling rack or something in my kettle to keep my bag from getting snagged and ripped. I have done the external thermomoter thing, but would...

Has anyone used the Bayou KAB4 or KAB6 for 5 gallon batches. I am looking at getting a 10 gallon pot for BIAB and either one of these burners. Granted I will need to put the burner on blocks to get it high enough to directly empty into fermenter after boiling. Could go with bayou sp50 too but...

I have purchased the ingredients for 3 beers to brew up tonight and tomorrow. They are all from the clone brews book. My question is in each one they list the ingredients for extract brewing and at the bottom tell what grains to buy for all grain. I am doing brew in the bag for these, but 2...

This does not look like an infection to me but just wondering. It is on Bell's May 2012 Cream Ale brew. Brewed on 6-2-12 and fermented at 62 degrees. Was thinking of bottling it this weekend as it says it is done. Thoughts?

I brewed the Bell's May Ale and it called for 2 pounds of blue berries. After 2 weeks of fermentation I add frozen blue berries to my secondary and racked on top of them. They are all now floating and I would like to know how to tell when to bottle.

So on Saturday I did my first 2 biab brews and feel pretty good about them. First one went off without a hitch except my numbers were a little low. Probably because of grinnd. Second one too, except I forgot 1 part. I brewed the light hybrid beer #10 in brewing classic styles book, which is a...

I have a blue moon clone and maple wheat ale that have been fermenting for a month now. Neither one have changed in finished gravity in a couple weeks but they are still bubbling. One bubble every few minutes. Is this normal? They are sitting at 64-66 degrees right now but have been around...

Is 62-64 too cold to condition bottled beer? Mostly ales by the way.

I tried this post in the ingredients forum with no responses so I thought maybe I could try it here. Hope that's not a problem. I Brewed up an Oberon clone 2.5 weeks ago and racked it into a secondary last weekend (2 weeks after brew) as FG was where it was supposed to be. When racking I put...

Not sure if this is the right forum or not. I Brewed up an Oberon clone 2.5 weeks ago and racked it into a secondary last weekend (2 weeks after brew) as FG was where it was supposed to be. When racking I put in .5 oz of fresh orange peel and will hopefully be bottling Friday or Saturday. The...

How can I clean the bottom of my turkey drier after I burned it. Yesterday on my second brew of the day I put LME in after sterling grains and some must have sat on the bottom and burned. Not sure how as I.kept storing but it did. Will that also affect my brew any?

Forgot the sugar to the attached clone. Is that bad? it was supposed to be put in at beginning of boil. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/blue-moon-clone-extract-recipe-295293/ Can I add it a couple hours later by just pouring in?

I have heard people say they squirt/spray the boil up foam at the hot break to knock it down. I have starsan in a squirt bottle for spraying things down real quick while boiling. Can I just use that or should I have aanother one with just water?

I will be brewing the maple wheat ale clone from the book clone brew book on pages 312-313. I am a little confused with the last paragraph. Ferment in the primary fermenter 7 days, or until fermentation slows, then siphon into secondary fermenter. Three days before bottling, prime the beer...

As you can see this is my first post and I may be buying a starter kit tonight and starting my first batch tomorrow. I dont know anyone who has ever done this so I am green. Question is I have an RO unit that I used for my salt water reef aqarium that I no longer use, but is still hooked up...
