I posted this in the beginner forum but haven't received any feedback yet. Thought maybe since I brewed this BIAB you guys might have some more insight for me. I brewed a 2.5 gal batch of a Caramel Coffee Stout 5 weeks ago and the gravity reading for the past 3 weeks has been right around...

I brewed a 2.5 gal batch of a Caramel Coffee Stout 5 weeks ago and the gravity reading for the past 3 weeks has been right around 1.024. I did not write down the original gravity like a dummy so I'm not sure where I started. I used the BIAB method and the recipe I used is below. In addition to...

So yesterday I made my first attempt at BIAB. I was doing a Scottish Ale....recipe as follows: 10 lbs Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 1 82.4 % 1 lbs Caramel/Crystal Malt - 80L (80.0 SRM) Grain 3 8.2 % 1 lbs Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM) Grain 2 8.2 % 2.1 oz Black Barley (Stout)...

My buddy recently gave me a Shocktop Honeycrisp Apple Wheat and I really liked it. I believe the label said it was a mix of Belgium Wheat and Hard Cider. I would like to brew something similar but not quite sure how to approach it. I had a bottle of cider I brewed a while back and I mixed it 1/2...

I started brewing about 2 months ago. So far I've brewed 2 ciders, an Irish Red, Weizenbier, Milk Stout, and Cream Ale. The first cider (Carmel Apple Cider recipe from this site) is down to 8 bottles left. The second cider is the same recipe minus the cinnamon. Still have about 30 of those left...

I'm going to the beach with some family this summer and they generally drink light beer. I was hoping to brew a lighter beer that they would enjoy. I am currently set up to do extract brews and don't have any lagering equipment at this point. I figured I would give the Liberty Cream Ale a shot...

How long can I let cooled wort sit before pitching yeast?

So one of my fermenting buckets will be freed up Saturday when I do some bottling. I decided that I would stop by my LHBS and get another kit to brew. I have been drinking Milk Stout by Left Hand recently and really like it. I talked to the owner of the LHBS and he whipped an extract kit up for...

I have an Irish red that will have been in my primary for 2 weeks this Saturday. I have a 5gal glass carboy that is open now. I want to brew a blue moon clone this weekend. Should I rack the Irish red to the caraboy or can I get away with using the carboy as a primary by using a blowoff tube...

I've been wanting to get into homebrewing for awhile now, but couldn't justify spending the money. I thought that kegging was the only way to go and didn't have the space or the money. Well my wife surprised me for valentines by buying me a Brewers Best starter kit. She works at a consignment...
