12 Team 0.5 PPR standard rosters. Draft set for Aug 3rd at 11 AM PDT/2 PM EST (Tomorrow!!) Losers send Winner a bomber, if you do not send you will be shunned for life (which is why this league has been cut down from 20 teams, so many flakes). Refer to this thread for more info...

I'm looking to make a 1 gallon batch with a bunch of scraps I have laying around before they go bad. The problem is I don't quite have enough ingredients to get the ABV where I want it. I have about half a pound of DME, and a pound or so of various specialty grains sitting around. Usually I...

What's the most basic way to add a little coffee flavor into a beer? I was thinking of just running a cup through my Keurig and mixing it with my priming sugar. Anything I should avoid? Caffeine? Etc

Doing my first batch in glass rather than a bucket so I can actually see what's going on and it has me stuck in a rut because the yeast isn't falling out of suspension completely. This pic is after 2 days of cold crashing. Seem normal? I was hoping to have bottled by now but I want everything to...

It's been 4 days since I added the sparkolloid, kmeta and sorbate to my skeeter pee. It's clear, but I just want to make sure 4 days is long enough for the kmeta and sorbate to do their jobs before racking and backsweetening. I've heard people say they backsweeten and stabilize at the same...

My skeeter pee is a few days from being ready to bottle & I'm planning on mixing a few gallons with some unsweetened kool-aid. Vote for what you think sounds the best! I'll pick the top 2 or 3 depending on how much I want to leave the original flavor. (Poll inc)

I want to make a batch of Skeeter Pee using the buckets I ferment my beer in. The problem is the buckets have a slight beer odor and a yellowish tint to them. I clean them with oxiclean after every use, but the color and odor has built up over the years. Is it fine to use the same buckets as...

So I made an Irish red (came out good) and siphoned 2 gallons into a secondary to add raspberries to so I could mix it up a bit. 2 weeks pass, I bottle, 3 more weeks pass, and I chill and pop one open.... Tastes like crap and has zero head. I even dumped it down the sink (vigorously) and still...

So my gf surprised me with a kit from the LHBS, but she picked up an all grain one. I've never done all grain; have only done 2 extract batches, both of which I've used a 5 gal pot for then just topped off to get to 5 gals. I only have the one 5 gal pot and a few smaller pots (1-2 gals) that are...

I've never used tannin before so I could use some advice on what would be best for skeeter pee. The LHBS has these three options: http://morebeer.com/products/tannin-complex.html?site_id=5 http://morebeer.com/products/tannin-ft-blanc-soft.html?site_id=5...

So I am planning on bottling tomorrow and am splitting the batch 3 gallons normal: 2 gallons with added blueberry extract (yes real fruit is 'better', but that's not the point of this thread :off: ). I'm was planning on siphoning all 5 gallons into the bottling bucket at once to avoid having to...

Searched around and didn't find anything to really answer my question. Anyways, I'm having people over in about a month and would like to have a few bottles of my current brew ready (hefe). Since I bottle I gotta allow em 3 weeks to carb up which gives me about a week of spare time to work with...

The best way to describe it is a little acidic tasting. I've done 2 batches now and they both have that same sharp characteristic to it. Both extract kits, both dry yeast. First time I fermented too hot, 70-75. 2nd time I watched it more carefully and kept it around 65 degrees. My first...

I saw this while browsing Slickdeals. While I won't be buying one, it's definitely interesting. Credit goes to http://slickdeals.net/f/5960094-Light-Up-Beer-Mug-Ant-Farm-Ants-Come-In-The-Mail-9-99-w-FS-Dealgenius-com If you want ants to be shipped in the mail it's $5 more, but I would just...

I'm looking to buy only one set of glasses for now (4 pack). What is the most universal shape for just about any beer style? I was thinking something like these:

Is it bad to sand bottles? If sanded too much I could see bottle bombs happening easier (thinner glass), but is a light sand safe? Plastic labels didn't come completely off old bottles & was gonna sand them down a bit and try another starsan soak to break em all the way down.

Just made a yeast starter (haven't pitched yet) using 1 cup dme to 1 quart water plus one drop of foam control, boiled for 10 minutes. It's cooling right now but separating very badly in the process. It's only my 2nd yeast starter so I'm not sure if its normal. Here's a picture that kind of...

There's a kit from my LHBS for a sweet stout that calls for 6 lbs of Ultralight Malt Extract (doesn't specify liquid or dry). Using ultralight extract for a beer that's supposed to be dark seems odd to me. Could anyone explain why they don't use a medium or dark malt extract in the kit...

I'm brewing the Midwest Irish Red Ale kit and want to experiment with 2 gallons of it. Something like berries or honey, simple for a beginner to toss in during secondary fermentation.
