Just a recap. Brewed a AG belgian dubbel on Nov 30 and kegged it tonight (Jan 23). OG was 1.072 and FG is 1.010 for a 85% attenuation rate which is great. The recipe is for the Westmalle Dubbel from Beer Captured and gives no info on kegging. I usually keg my belgian wits or hefe's but...

I racked to my secondary and within 2 hours I had a black halo on top which was not there during the primary ferment. Please advise as to what it is.

I brewed my first AG on sunday and the OG was 1.084. I am not getting very good action thru the air lock and I am fine with that because the bucket lid doesnt have the seal in it. It was bubbling slowly for a few days but now is non existent. I was going to rack to my carboy so I can see...

I am brewing the holly holiday brew from the recipe section. My question is in regards to the AA of the centennial hops. The recipe states centennial hops with an AA of 9.4% and the ones I bought are at 10.3%. Do I just use the entire 2oz or do I adjust? I know it really comes down to taste...

I want to brew a spiced (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger) holiday ale around 6% well balanced and ready by mid December. Please hit me up with a recipe! All grain.

I am putting together my list for a blonde. Of all the beer I have drank in my life I just had my first Leffe. It is like a hefeweizen in the fast lane! I love it. Fortunately I have the book Beer Captured and there is a recipe for this brew. Although I havent read any success stories of...

I am doing the Garden Grand Cru from JOHB and the fermentation is going real slow. I still have an inch of krausen and a perk from the airlock every 20 seconds. The temp has been steady at 72-74. I've read this strain can be difficult. Should I just let it go? I tried putting it in a warmer room...

I just brewed the Dubbel Your Pleasure Ale from JOHB by Charlie P. While there is no burn marks on the bottom I taste a bitterness. I thought I smelled a wee bit while it was boiling so I tasted it and it hits the back of the tongue with a bitterness like a burn. I did the recipe exactly...

I just finished drinking my batch of wheat using the white lab 300 and while it was good I had almost none of the banana bubblegum flavor I love and want. It seems all the brew shops near me carry white labs only and I really want to try the wyeast 3638 but I read good things about WL 351. Do I...

First post and first batch in 21yrs. I brewed about 10 batches in the early 90's then stopped. I brewed a batch of my favorite hefe and kegged to the corny. I am applying 30psi for 2 days per pappazian. That book is still the go to for me. My question is this: I forgot to purge the oxygen out...
