Funny story. Brewed 10 gallons of an imperial IPA loosely inspired by Green Flash West Coast IPA. Fermentation slowed and gravity was in the 1.018 range. Left for a 6 day vacation to Denver and returned to a dead temperature controller and two 5 gallon carboys frozen completely solid...

I made 10 gallons of an ipa and kegged it after about 15 days of fermentation. First keg tasted great, don’t recall any off flavors. 2nd one tasted great too until recently when I picked up a bit of sweet butterscotch. My taste is **** so I asked my buddy to try it and tell me if he tasted...

I've made a number of IPAs over the years and one thing I've never had any problems with is head retention. I always get a super thick, super white, frothy pillowy head that seemingly lasts an eternity. Although its always appreciated, I'd like to try and thin that out a bit on some of my dryer...

I've been slowing dipping my toes in the idea of water chemistry lately so I got a report from my municipal water source and put in all the relative information into the Bru'n Water spreadsheet, however I am confused on the additions. In an attempt to keep it simple, I typed in 1.3g of gypsum...

Brewed a KBS clone several months back. Recipe here. Long story short, I missed on my mash efficiency and my volume so boiled for an extra 30 minutes to get my gravity back up. Ended up with just under 4 gallons, kegged at 30psi for 24 hours, dropped it back down to 12 and has been there for...

So, I think this years batch of Oberon from Bell's is probably their best batch yet. I got excited (and a bit buzzed) one night and decided it was time for a clone, so I carefully harvested the yeast from the dregs of the 2 bottles I had left in the fridge (couldn't believe how much yeast was in...

I have a 3 tap kegerator I built from an old fridge. I typically keep a commercial + 2 cornys inside. I just replaced 3 crappy old standard cheap chrome faucets for 3 new chrome plated Intertap faucets. The old taps worked fine and poured a perfect beer but got sticky and gross quickly, hence...

Did lots of research for many months before pulling the trigger and buying everything I need to brew (extract to start because I'm broke). Got a big pot for full wort boils, fastferment to avoid racking and the possibility of oxidation, and a corny keg and c02 setup. Lets just say, brew day...
