So I'm pretty new to brewing/making alcohol and started in the middle of September - but in that time I've done 3 AG batches, a Graff, 4 ciders, an Apflewein, a Shiraz, a Banana Wine, Blueberry wine, 2 JAOM and a Joe's Quick Grape Mead. (When I start a hobby I kind of go 150% for as long as I...

So I impulse bought one of the 5g whiskey barrels that were being sold on Black Friday. It arrives this Friday, but I don't really have anything ready to put in it yet. I'm thinking Imperial stout or Barleywine, and I'd like to brew on Saturday, do a primary and then put it in the barrel...

I picked up one of the 5G used whiskey barrels for $99 that Homebrewing.com was selling yesterday. Convinced my fiancé that we could use it as a living room decoration! So, now comes the hard part - what he hell should I put in it? I'm thinking either an imperial stout, nut brown or a barley...

Long story short - I did a BIAB with this recipe today - http://www.morebeer.com/products/oatmeal-stout-grain-beer-kit-advanced.html The recipe says you can expect 1.050-1.060 ish or so... I got 1.027... No idea how it hit that low. My last BIAB with the same setup hit right on the money. So...

So, I'm getting married next June, which is about 9 months away. I think it would be really cool to be able to serve a few things that I've brewed and also give out a few bottles as presents. I'm doing a Shraz kit (her favorite wine), but would love to add a mead as well. That being said...

So... pretty much brand new at all of this. I started a JAOM and Cider last week, spent countless hours on the forum and then all of a sudden decided I was a master brewer and wanted to experiment..... (You can see where this is going). I had an empty 5 gallon fermenter and felt like I really...

Hi all - Brand new brewer here, have a gallon of JAOM going right now and just finished my first cider made from apples from my backyard tree...(didn't know what I was doing, used1118 and ended up with Apple Wine that was somehow delicious and packed a serious punch!) Anyway - I have...
