Hi guys, I brewed this not to long ago. It's ready to be bottled though. The trub is weird looking, and I'm hoping its not an infection. It smells just fine. I haven't tasted it yet, but there is no foul odor at all.

Hi Guys, I'm currently mashing part of an all grain recipe that I'm doing right now. I just took my vial of yeast out of the fridge. It says on the vial.. "please remove vial from refrigerator 3-6 hours before use". I didn't see that until now.. Could I still use it? I will need to use it...

I've been offered to apprentice under two professional brewers out here in Louisville. I guess the proper term would be "job shadowing" since I am not being paid. I am super excited to learn from them though, and I think its going to be a great experience. I plan to go to UC-Davis for their...

Hi all, I have a yeast question about EvilTOJ's McMenamins Ruby recipe. The yeast specified was labeled as "dry". Would any of you have some recommendations on what yeast would work best? I have seen many other dry yeasts and I'd like to not mess this recipe up. Thanks all! Pat

The recipe calls for... 6.00 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) Are any of these the correct malt to use? I have found several different 2 row pale malts. I'm just getting into using all grain so if this is a stupid question, please excuse me. http://morebeer.com/view_product/17115//American_Pale...

Hopefully this is basically right.. please feel free too make any corrections or tips. I'm trying to get a basic idea from what I have been reading. 1. Take your grains and get them ready. 2. Heat water up to 150-170 F for mash tun (cooler converted) 3. Stir grains until temperature reaches...

Let me start off by saying, this is NOT my recipe. This recipe came from a book that Sam Calagione wrote. He is the owner of Dog Fish Head Brewery. I believe this recipe was created by Bryan Selders, who is a brewer at DFH. I will write down the ingredients/directions exactly as they were...

Hi everyone, I have just bottled my first brew ever. It was an extract brew. Do you think its to early to begin an all grain brew yet? I don't mind using extract, but I feel very limited by what I can do with it. I've seen some delicious looking recipes here that I'd love to try, but they...

Hi guys, I'm getting ready to try my second batch. I'd like to give the "O Flannagain Standard Stout" a try. It looks delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe Flannagain! I'm still very unsure on terms & procedures. If its possible could someone explain this recipe a bit better to me as I...

Well guys, Were in the process of brewing right now. Were bringing the water up too 170 F for the grains. I'm a bit confused on the yeast though. Should I add the yeast once the wort has been added into the fermenter? Or do I add it before, or mix it in with the wort and pour them both into...
