I am just trying to use all of my leftover/excess beer ingredients to close out 2015. I have one can Munton's Connoisseur's Irish Stout (no-boil, I know), 4 lbs dark DME, almost 2 pounds light DME, some fuggle hops, a pound of Lactose sugar, a pack of Wyeast 1272, two packs of US-05 and about a...

I'm sorry, I didn't know where to put this, I couldn't fine a "random" type forum and to be perfectly honest, I don't want jokesters replying. I am sure there are other pet owners out there who have had the occasional, "my pet got into this..." issue, so I find myself reaching out to you. I use...

I brewed a beer that will be around 7.2% ABV a couple of weeks ago. We had a warm front move in that jacked the temp in my closet to nearly 80 degrees within the first 24 hours so I bought a tub and made a swamp cooler about 36 hours in. Fermentation was crazy due to the temp, but it slowed and...

... or at least it seems vigorous. Prior to using a swamp cooler for my primary fermentation, I would pitch my yeast (2-pks safale s-04) and leave my carboy in my closet at 68 degrees with a blowoff hose leading to a gallon spring water jug half full of water/iodine mix. I would typically have...

I got some 5-gallon food grade buckets for about 5 bucks a piece and I want to add spigots to them so I can make what would essentially be a siphonless brewing system. When I looked for spigots at Midwest Supplies, they had the typical bottling spigot, which my hoses fit, and a "drum spigot"...

Most of what I have read, about boiling hops, uses 60 minute boil recipes. In my search to find a clone recipe for Dogfish Head 90-minute IPA, I was surprised to find it requires a 90 minute hop boil. I guess what I find so shocking about it is that I've been told you will cook out the hops...

Hey all, new brewer here. So, I'm kind of an idiot. I started two beers this weekend, one on Saturday and one on Sunday and placed them in my closet with no thought about temp control... until really late Monday night... when I saw the closet temp was pushing 75, leaving me to imagine the...
