Hi everyone, I am thinking of trying to use some good old fresh squeezed orange juice to try and lower my mash PH. I'm guessing some of you reading this might wonder why am I even thinking of this. Well, I live in Israel, and the water in my area is super hard, and home brewing here isn't as...

Hi guys, Iv'e been brewing for about 3 years now and my beers usually come out very good, flavor wise, but I never get a good head on the beer. Iv'e tried everything Iv'e read online: 1. Adding some Carapils or Caramels. 2. Adding some proteins from wheat or oats. 3. Increasing carbonation...

Hi guys, I just brewed my first NEIPA and I put a lot of hops in it (12 oz in 5.5 gallon batch). I noticed a "green" hop flavor, like if you just tasted raw hop pellets. I dry hopped once during early fermentation and once more in the keg. The beer is quiet young (about 2 weeks) so I'm thinking...

Hey everyone! I'm planning on brewing an Oktoberfest in the next few days and wanted to try out a Decoction mash. I've read about it a few times online, and I kept seeing people say that "most grains are modified" and that there is no need for protein rests for modified grains. So I was...

Hi everyone, I keep having the same problem over and over again. I taste my home brew before I bottle ( from the FG sample ) and it tastes good, but after about 2-3 weeks it tastes much more alcoholic. I keep reading online that "spicy" alcoholic taste come from fermenting at too high of a...

Hi, I have recently brewed an IPA with s-04 dry english ale yeast, my O.G was 1066. I was planning on fermenting at 68F but my wort was a bit warmer around 73ish. So I pitched the yeast and in about an hour or two I saw a bit of airlock activity, however the wort still did not cool to the...
