Next weekend I'm going to a wedding in Charleston and wanna bring some beer home. Any suggestions for best breweries or bottle shops?

OK, I am at wits end with an off flavor in my brew. I have been doing all grain for about 2 years now and can't find the source. The flavor was nonexistent in the beginning and is now here to stay. I don't know quite how to describe it but it a grainy musty funk that's not terrible but it drives...

OK, where is my best bet to get HT? Last time I just went to the brewery, but now I hear its a bit more of a pain... Looking to buy a couple cases anyone have some guidance?

I feel like I have all my processes pretty locked down and am overall happy with my beers, but I am missing the nose I want. What temperature does everyone dry hop at?

A buddy of mine has been working on a film about beer. He mentioned it to me awhile back that he was working on a crew filming about brewing in Baltimore, but I completely forgot about it. He posted the trailer on Facebook last night so I asked if I could share it on HBT. Help my friend Zach and...

I just purchased a packet of GY054 for a HT clone. The pack says it has 200 billion viable cells which I know is enough for a 5 gallon batch. Deciding to do a ten gallon batch I know I have to step up what I have. I built a stir plate that I finish just last night (never done starters) and...

I brewed a 5 gallon batch of Hopslam clone on Sunday, pitched 2 packets of rehydrated S-05 and then put the carboy in the cellar. Checked it last night and it was sitting at 58 and throwing a bubble every 20 seconds or so (I figured the yeast would bump the temp in to the low sixties with active...

I haven't tried brewing any wood aged beers yet so I am trying to come up with something to put in the to do list. The recipe I want to be very smooth with caramel and vanilla notes. Not sure if this will work, but opinions please on what I have thought up so far. Based on 5.5 gallon batch at...

Still a noob and am on my 6th batch of either an IPA or Pale Ale that needs to be dry hopped. I typically rack into my carboy with the leaf hops already inside and let the transferring swirl them around. They still stay dry for another couple days before they seem full saturated. Am I getting...

Ok so a friend of mine got his father, who works in Vermont, to pick us up a case of H.T. (Never had it so I can't wait). Anyone one know the cheapest and easiest way to ship it so it stays fresh?

Ok, so I made 5 gallons of cider. Apple cider from the local farmers market, some honey, some brown sugar and pitched some champagne yeast. I am tossing the idea around about dry-hopping the cider with about 1.5 ounces of Cascade(SWMBO pushed me in the direction after I was thinking out loud)...

I tend to get a little overwhelmed whenever I hit the library or the book store and forget what I have gone in to look for. Since most of you out there obviously have great opinions on beer, how about an on going list of great things to read from like minded individuals. Be a good way to keep a...

I am from Maryland and would love to get my hands on some H.T. Be willing to either pay or if there is something from my area you would want to trade. I am within driving distance of Dogfish.

I made a wort chiller that is 20' by 1/2" and it worked great for small batches. I moved to all grain and with the 5.5 gallon volume it takes forever to cool it down. Can I solder another 20' on to make it 40' or is the lead free solder not good to put in the wort?

I want to start growing hops, but am not sure when or how. I live on Maryland's Eastern Shore so what varieties can I grow and when should I plant them? Can I plant seed in the fall? Where should I get my seed?

Taking votes for the worse beer you can remember ever tasting. My vote is for Bud Light Lime. Tastes like a bartender pour out a couple ounces of Bud Light and filled it back up with sour mix. Truly terrible.
