    Group bottle buy? Central PA/Baltimore?

    Would there be any interest in a group bottle buy? I am specifically looking to pickup a lot of heavy duty 750ml and 375ml champagne bottles for around 40 gallons of mixed culture blends I will be bottling soon. Anyone have experience in a bulk bottle buy have tips or vendors they have used...

    2 year old first sour. Attempt to save or dump?

    So my first foray into sour brewing is just about 2 years old and I am at a crossroads. It is the Northern Brewer Oud Bruin de Tabla extract kit. I pitched Roeselare in primary and transferred to secondary (probably a mistake) after a couple of weeks. Checked in on it twice. After not much...

    Fermcap and Multi Step Starters

    Tried to find an answer to this specific question but couldn't. I just put a 2L starter on the stir plate with 2 drops of fermcap. I plan to chill & decant into to two mason jars. I will then step each of those up into another 2L starter. My question is if I need to add fermcap again? I know...

    Calculate abv after fruit additions

    So I brewed a straight up American wheat. Og was 1.051. Transferred to secondary at 1.009 on top of vintners harvest blueberry fruit purée (49oz at 1.032-1.057 og) and blackberry fruit purée (49oz at 1.036-1.057). FG after 2 weeks of secondary was 1.006. Math slays me. I know I won't get the abv...

    Bluegrass Cup info?

    Anyone know the Bluegrass Cup shipping address for entries? Their site has been down for the past two days and if I don't get my entries off today they probably won't make it. Thanks!

    Mandarina Pale Wheat Recipe Critique

    Got my grubby hands on some Mandarina Bavaria hops and thought this might be a good brew to showcase. Going for something like Lagunitas Little Sumpin' but a little less aggressive on the hopping. Let me know what you think! Mandarina Pale Wheat Style: American Wheat or Rye Beer OG: 1.057...

    Root Beer force carb time

    Just curious. I just kegged my first Root Beer. I'm in no hurry so I'm not doing the gas/shake thing. I planned on the set and forget method. 30psi for two weeks at 38 degrees. Is that enough time? Could it possibly be fully carbed sooner? Later? Just curious from you experienced soda Keggers.

    Ginger Lemongrass Saison recipe

    Any comments or tips you have are appreciated. Came up with this recipe because a local farm has a bunch or fresh picked ginger and lemongrass. Anyone brewed with those ingredients before and think my amounts are ok? Thanks in advance for any help/advice. Ginger Lemongrass Saison Style: Saison...

    Mexican Chocolate Stout

    Another brew idea I am kicking around. This one is based on the NB Milk Chocolate Stout extract kit but with quite a few additions. I'm looking for dessert in a glass, sweet but not cloying, a nice semi-sweet coco flavor, and a subtle spice kick. Let me know what you think or if you have brewed...

    Advice on Pumpkin Ale recipe

    Just looking for some advice on this pumpkin recipe. I am using the northern brewer Emma's Ale extract kit as a base (using us-05 yeast). I am pulling a lot from a Pumking clone recipe I found on here as well. Is this too crazy? Is there anything in here that doesn't work or sound like a good...
