Greetings, I'm hoping someone out there can give me some input on something. I just added dry hops to my beer, after adding the hops I pressurized my fermenter, which caused the hops to flush to the bottom of my vessel. I'm now worried that my beer wont be in contact with the hops in the way it...

Greetings, I haven’t been able to find a thing on what I’m looking for, so I’m hoping someone out there will have answer. I just brewed a batch of beer and have it all transferred into my new fermentasaurus with the pressure kit. I also purchased the spunding valve, and that’s why my question...

Hello, Im fairly new to kegging (maybe 5 batches) and this is my 2nd batch that tastes great going into the keg, but after a week or so turns to liquid metal. I've been reading that I may be over carbonating my beer. If in fact I am, is there a way to get rid of the metal taste, or is the batch...

I'm new to AG and fairly new to taking readings seriously... The last 3 brews I've done my OG has been off my 10 points (lower than expected). At first I figured my hydrometer was faulty but using my other hydrometer and getting the same reading led me to believe I'm obviously doing something...

So I brewed a pretty basic Galaxy Hop Saison, and now that It's all said and done I'm a bit worried that I should have added some sort of orange peel or coriander. Opinions??? I just started brewing AG this month and have already brewed 5, all of which I just added my own ingredients without...

Hey all! I recently brewed an Oatmeal Stout. Wanting to do something different in terms of just brewing the kit, I wanted to add coffee, cocoa nibs, and bourbon soaked oak cubes. I added all three into my secondary and sampled it a couple of times. Fast FWD. I cracked a bottle last night and...

So I'm nearing bottling day on my brew and have been reading horror stories about bottling Brett beers. I was planning on just going my usual route of bottling with sugar and letting my bottles sit. But I'm wondering. With this beer should I not do that? I added Brett and Wine yeast to my...

So I'm brewing a Coffee Stout in the next couple of weeks and thought it would be interesting to put some Oak Cubes in it that have been soaked in Pinot. Anyone tried/had something like this? What are your thoughts? Also, why type of Roast would you recommend? (Light, Dark)??? Also, any...

Hello, I'm still in the stages of extract brewing but would like to use a Farmhouse yeast. My question is. What would be a good base beer to brew for such a yeast? I was thinking of a Belgian Blonde. What do you guys think? Thanks

So I posted here not too long ago stating that my OG reading came in higher than expected and I have since brewed another batch where my OG reading came in at 1.030, and it should have been in the 5's. What can I do to hit my numbers? In this case did I add to much water trying to hit my 5...

Hello all! I recently just came off of my first batch that was a huge success. And have already brewed a second batch. The first time I brewed I didn't take any readings because I felt intimidated, but this second batch I actually took a reading. Now my question is... I've noticed I have had...
