I think my starter has picked up an infection. The last beer I made with this yeast had an infection, but I thought it wasn't related to the starter. Can anyone confirm?

Hey, I tried posting this in a recipe-specific thread, and got no traction, so I'll try here. My question is about kegged, back-sweetened cider. I havde 4.5 gallons of pasteurized 100% juice, and 32 oz of black cherry juice. I was planning of fermenting the apple juice only, and then...

When I bought by 10.5 gallon kettle on Black Friday (welded fitting and gallon markings for ~$80 whooooo), one of my goals was to be able to do roughly any strength 5 gallon BIAB, and have the capability for some dual 3-3.5 gallon batches that I could split certain factors, or experiment with...

I finally saw a wall full of Korean Gibberish in the "newest threads" list. I'd only ever seen 2 or 3 before. It truly is a Christmas miracle! Bah Humbug!

I made my first 5 gallon all-grain batch on December 9th, which was 11 days ago. My efficiency was abysmal (like 55%). I've been doing partial mash beers for almost 2 years, and I've done a couple small batch all-grain beers. This is not my first rodeo, but I've found something very strange...

A while back on this forum somewhere, I read the words, "Raspberry Serrano Porter." There were no details, other than that the person that had it was amazed by it, and, based on this information, I had to make one for myself. I started with Jamil's "Brewing Classic Style's" Raspberry Porter...

Today is the fifth day of fermentation of my peach kolsch. It is fermenting nicely at 60F with Wyeast 2565 Kolsch Yeast (they were out of WLP029). The recipe is pretty straightforward, light bodied, ~20IBU, and a smattering of galaxy hops for their stone-fruityness. Right now, I plan to...

So last year I made ~15 gallons of beer (three batches) for my wedding, and it went great. Everyone loved it :tank: (and the endless free liquor I bought too...). This year, My mother-in-law is getting married in september and wanted me to make some beer for that as well! She has requested a...

So in the last few years SW Ohio has had an increasing number of stores that offer 'make your own six packs' (Jungle Jim's doesn't count). They are usually around $7.99 - $8.99 which is decent. The reason I love it is that I can try most of the new stuff that comes through without...

Good evening everyone, I just wanted to share my recipe for one of my favorite homebrews: My Widmer Brother's 'Brrrr' Clone. I've made this twice now; once in 2013 and once in 2014. On beeradvocate it is listed as a Winter Warmer, but I've been calling it an Imperial Red Ale. I love it...

So if you live in the Dayton/Cincinnati area, you may know that a lot of breweries have started popping up in the last few years. Mad Tree, Eudora, Toxic, Warped Wing, Rivertown, and about 5 others including Rhinegeist. I've had Rhinegeist's Porter a few times, and it is just great. It is...

So I got hitched this last Friday :eek: and after I became engaged a friend of mine who was a much more senior brewer said to me, "Why don't you make the beer for the wedding?" This was a few brews into our evening and I thought it was just crazy enough to work. :drunk: It was a smashing...

Hey everyone, I would like some opinions on my partial mash adaption of the Cowboy Alt from 'Brewing Classic Styles' by Jamil and John Palmer. I will do my best to mash it at 156 (is that too high, maybe I should do 154). I do stovetop BIAB PM with a top up of around 2 gallons. Mash...

I just sampled an excellent APA that I made. It is adapted from this thread: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/need-help-cloning-recipe-213912/ that is looking at the Goose Island American Pale Ale which I had recently on a short vacation to Chicago. It was good, especially with some...

Just brewed my first IPA, this was the recipe Slagathor IPA 3 lbs Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 12.0 oz Vienna Malt (Briess) (3.5 SRM) Grain 8.0 oz Caramel Malt - 20L (Briess) (20.0 SRM) Grain 8.0 oz Caramel Malt - 40L (Briess) (40.0 SRM) Grain 4.0 oz Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM)...
