Hey everyone. So I decided to try doing an heather ale. OG was 1.08 and fermentation stopped at 1.022. I finally ended up pitching more yeast in it and the FG didn't change. After giving it enough time (close to 4 weeks) I was getting a bit of an off taste/aroma to it. Cold crashed it for a few...

So a little while ago I got 5 pounds of wheat and 5 pounds of 2 row milled into the same bag for a recipe which I have now forgotten and can't find. I also bought an ounce of Hallertau which would have been my primary. I have a bunch of half used hop packages so I probably would have added more...

Hey guys. I recently picked up a 5 gallon batch of 'bad' beer. This was a beer brewed back in early December and it fermented fine. It's been in the fermenter ever since and my friend never bothered to bottle it....just left it in the closet. He was going to throw it out this week and I...

Hey everyone! So I brewed an early style pilsner similar to Bushwick's, it's extremely clear. I'm just about to transfer it over to the bottling pot I have this evening and had a question... This is the second time I brewed this recipe and while the last batch was delicious it took forever...

Hey everyone. So I'm trying to figure out what's going on here. I've been brewing for sometime now with a good 40 ish batches under my belt. I'd say that 90% of the time my beers get to bubbling within hours of pitching the yeast. On a slow start I'll have a slow fermentation for a day or two...

Hey guys, not sure whether I should have posted this in the wine section or the cider. I was wondering if anyone has any tips to get a stuck fermentation going with apples? Making an apple wine, I started with cider about 5 weeks ago and got an OG of 1.1. It was somewhat steady for a week...

Hi everyone. I've been brewing in bags for the past 5 batches but want to go the false bottom route. I'm looking into making my own and have one or two questions about how they work. I've seen a bunch of false bottoms with the outlet hose/tube going into the false bottom through the top...

Hi everyone! Just a quick question that probably seems so simple and so obvious but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. I'm upgrading my equipment and have been looking into false bottoms. What size does the false bottom have to be? I would think it would have to be the same size as...

Hi everyone! First post here. Alright, so a few weeks ago I went to my local brew shop and purchased a recipe kit for a nut brown ale for a 5 gallon batch. I got two big bags of various grains, a package of hops, some yeast, a campden tablet and a smaller white tablet. Anyhow, I went last...
