Hi there. I have seen a few posts online stating good soil to use for growing hops. I have my hop in just some regular potting soil (It didn't do so well with that). I was wondering if those pre-packaged Cactus Soil mixes might be better fitting for hops? It is more loamy than others that I...

I have been wanting to do a Sahti but I've been trying to find a resource for some real Scandinavian bakers yeast. I did find one but they're international and the cheapest shipping method (still not super cheap) is through regular postage (I image this is shipped in a "letter". Do you think...

Hello all! I can not get to my buckets right now but I was hoping someone might know the dimensions of the True Brew (w/ blue lid) or newer BSG 6.5 gal buckets? I can't seem to find these dimensions anywhere on google. (Ale Pales are wider/shorter so I can't use those as a comparison). I...

My steam beer has been having trouble carbonating. I've opened 4 bottles over the last 4-5 weeks and they were completely flat. I know I added the right amount of sugar so I was confused when after the first to second week there was a significant amount of fallen yeast on the bottom. I...

Good early Morning! I am going to be brewing a 5 gallon partial mash Steam Beer in the morning. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing anything erroneous with the steps I've created. I have a 5gal kettle that I'll be mashing and boiling in. Mash: 5 Pounds of grain (in a large grain bag)...

Hello! I put this together looking through a few other recipes. It looks good as far as Brewtarget is concerned, but this is the first recipe i put together myself. I was just wondering if people with more experience with the malts will have any opinions. 3.5 LBS Pale LME 4 lbs Vienna...

Howdy! I'm hoping some people would chip in a few suggestions or ideas based on a recipe I am trying to come up. I am doing research to try and build the recipe myself including amounts, but due to my inexperience with a lot of hops and grains since this will be my 2nd brew, I am not sure...

I brewed my first batch of beer today! It went mostly well except for the filter falling into bucket as I was pouring the wort from the boil pot. (had to rack it and filter it into another bucket, blah!) It is an American Wheat style Hefe with: Wyeast 1010 Flaked Wheat Wheat Pale Malt...

This is the first homebrew DIY project i've done so I am happy :) It turned out well and saved me a decent amount over buying one, plus it was fun. It is 20' 3/8" and I have a brass 3/4" FGH adapter on it. I'll be able to put this to good use for my first batch this weekend.

Hi all, My mead has been coming along pretty nicely and I think i'm nearing or at my final gravity, or at least what should be a final gravity. I'm at 1.017 right now. My O.G. was 1.102. This puts me at 11.03% ABV. I am using Wyeast 4148 which the MFG states has a range of 10-11%. I'm...

I am wondering if my mead is fermenting too slowly and looking for advice. my O.G was 1.102. 3 days after first airlock activity it went down to 1.091. That was on 1/9. I measured the gravity on the 12th and it was 1.081. So it is doing about 10 points every 3days. I I've read people saying...

Hi all! I finally got my first mead going today. I got a beer-kit a few weeks ago but I have been more tempted to start a small batch of mead going since It's a bit easier and I don't have all of the equipment I need for brewing beer yet (pots and chillers, blah!) Anyway, I am making a...
