Hi everyone, I am trying to build a clone of this beer: http://foundersbrewing.com/our-beer/sumatra-mountain-brown/. If you haven't had it, it is very sweet, but not cloying, and has a nice, strong, coffee flavor to it, without much noticeable hop flavor or aroma. I have a recipe partially...

So I set up the third keg in my keezer today. The keg is brand new, and I cleaned everything with PBW, sanitized with StarSan, used keg lube, all o-rings are new, keg held pressure well while waiting to be filled. I kegged my beer, hooked up the gas line, and purged the keg. I then sprayed...

I was wondering where everyone can find good quality and unique tap handles online? I am not that impressed with what is available on Amazon. Any good online stores with a nice selection?

So I have to go to Miami this week, and will have one day completely free. Are there any good breweries or other must-see stops in Miami? I won't want to do a ton of driving, but anything in or right around Miami would be great. Thanks.

I have a beer planned, and it is the first time I am going to use any flaked grain. I am using flaked rye at 14.3% of the grain bill, with two row and crystal making up the remainder. Is there anything special that needs to be done with the mash due to the flaked rye, or do I simply mash as...

Does anyone have an estimate for the gravity points per gallon per pound that fresh or frozen raspberries would contribute? Trying to come up with an estimate as I am planning a raspberry ale and want to have some feel for the OG/FG and ABV. Thanks in advance!

Hello, I brewed a beer in May, that was supposed to be a Dirty Bastard clone. I based my recipe off of the recipe in post #41 of this thread https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=170732&page=2 and it didn't turn out quite how I wanted it to. My recipe is as follows: Target OG: 1.086...

I am planning on brewing a strong IPA, in the 11 to 12% range, and am wondering what yeast I should use. Would Safale us-05 take this down from 1.104 to the 1.017 neighborhood for a ABV of ~11.5, or will I need something else? If US-05 will work, will it still have enough power to carbonate my...

So yesterday, while driving home after dinner, I decided to brew this weekend, so I dropped by the LHBS for some ingredients. Only when I got there, did I realize I didn't have a shopping list with me, so I just went and bought a simple list of things that I HOPE will turn out to be good. I...

Hello everyone, I am brand new to brewing, and am getting ready to start my first batch this week. Just thought I would write my current plan for this batch to elicit any suggestions anyone might have. I have an extract-based kit from Brewer's Best, their German Oktoberfest kit, which...

Hello everyone! I am brand new to brewing, so new that I haven't even started my first batch yet, though I have almost everything I need and plan to start brewing this week. I have been interested in home brewing for quite a while, but never got around to researching what I would need in...
