I have a recipe that has 60% Two Row, 20% Malted Wheat and 20% Malted oats with an OG of 1.060. I enter this into Beer Smith and it's telling me I need 10lbs 10oz of Two Row, 3lbs 8.9oz of Malted wheat an 3lbs 8.9 oz of malted oats. Is that too much grain? It seems like a lot to me, but I am...

So below you will see the recipe I use for a NEIPA. One that I found on internet and made little changes. I found the last couple of batches didn't come out like I had hoped for. The last one was due to fermentation temps as the beer had a bad alcohol taste at the end of it, so it totally...

So below is my grain bill for a NEIPA, but just would like a little help with the hop additions. I have done a NEIPA a couple of times, but a little excited as I was able to get Galaxy hops this time(To replace Amarillo). Normally I would add about an ounce of Citra and Amarillo hops with...

I guess I am looking for opinions on if I should switch from using the cooler mash tun and keg as a boil kettle to a Robobrew V3? I understand the Robobrew would be beneficial in the the winter and cleanup would be a bit easier. I just don't know if I should stick to what I am doing or spend a...

I have a two keg setup on one regulator and it seems one keg is pouring alot quicker and both have 11ft of line and regulator is set to 11psi. I have read that changing the o ring on the dip tube might fix this issue. My question is since the keg is already carbonated will I cause issues...

First time kegging and I tried to pour two glasses yesterday and they both a really big head. Now the keezer is setup for 40F with the probe taped to the side of the keg. I have 3/16 line that is 6 feet and PSI is setup to 11. Line is coiled on the top of the keg, so any help would be great...

So this is the first time I have kegged my beer and just want to make sure I am doing things right with my keezer. So I am using an ink-bird 308 and have the prob hanging in the air about 8 inches from the bottom. I have my temp set at 40f with a 5 degree upper and lower setting and noticed my...

So below you will see the All Grain Kit I received and I have brewed this kit before with success, but I am looking for a bit more bite with it. I haven't tried my own recipes yet as I am not comfortable with grains at all. I love the New England IPAs and would like to try one of them sometime...

So I am using a freezer as an Fermentation Chamber for the first time and have it hooked up to the InkBird ITC-308. I currently have the temp set at 67F with a 1F difference for Heat and Cool. The Freezer will cool the chamber to 67F and shut off, but as you know the freezer will still cool...

So I live off a dug well and don't believe I have any issues with water, but could anyone take a look and tell me if I would have any issues with water quality for my craft beer. Thanks

So I did an IPA kit and dry hopped it with 3 ounces of Citra Hop, but really not getting a ton of taste. Did I do something wrong during brewing? Issues fermenting?? I put a couple of bottles in the fridge last night and just had them this afternoon maybe fridge too cold? Any help would be great.

I just finished up an IPA and took a pre boil gravity reading and it came out to be 1.040 at 69F, after 60min boil and cooling down the wort I took another reading and it was 1.040 at 65F. Why is this? Did my boil not boil well enough? Any suggestions would be great because after 5 hrs today and...

So I just bought an American IPA kit and it calls for two Stage fermentation, do I need to do this? If so, when do I move it to the secondary and how long does it stay in each one. Also as you can see the recipe below what does it mean when it tells to to put hops in at 0:00?? Do I just put...

So I am a Rookie and AG and just finished my third batch and missed the gravity again and this is frustrating. This time I did a cream ale with numbers below. Mash Water 2.83 Gal @ 150F for 60mins Sparge Water 5.64 Gal @ 168F (Batch Sparge let it sit for 10mins) Collected 6.5 Gal of Pre...

Does equipment need to be soaked in OxiClean overnight or can I just leave it for an hour or two and wipe it down?? Also do I need to use it after every batch or can I wash down the equipment with hot water and use Oxiclean every 2nd or 3rd time?? I know things need to be clean, just seeing if...

The last two batches I did had an OG of 1.040 and should have been 1.052 and would like to know what I am doing wrong. I have a coleman cooler setup with a Bazooka screen inside. Is it that my pre boil amount of water is off? Too much water I mean? I let the grain sit in the cooler for the...

I know that all steps are important, but would like to know what are the most critical steps in the process to produce the best tasting beer? Name your top 3 to 5!!

My original gravity should have been 1.052, but ended up being 1.040 which is off a fair amount. What will happen with my end product??

I made a big rookie mistake and put the sparge water in at 5.33Gallons rather than the mash at 3.33Gallons is my beer ruined?? HELP PLEASE!! Is that too much water for the mash???

I did a German Hef All grain beer and notice that I have had different results of Flavor and quality if that makes sense. The first 4-5 beer I had didn't have much taste and the beer was very clear(They were in the fridge for over a week). I was thinking maybe the beer was a little green...
