"In March, the company announced its plans to be the Red Planet’s first brand of beer. Now, they’re taking their plan a step further by sending barley, beer’s key ingredient, into space next month" Reason not to want to go to Mars? Another one I mean. Shouldnt the first beer on mars be a...

So over two years Ive gone from extract to all grain. But this week a co-workers gave me a cooper draught can. He got it as a gift but dont yet want to "brew". It expires in 1 month. What should I do with the can? Will be us05 yeast, not a lager. Pale ale vs IPA? Any idea what gravity...

I have only made a braggot so far and going to make a JAOM, but planning to make a "normal" mead after that. I have limited access to nutrition here in SA, only DAP and Servomyces Yeast Nutrient. How big a difference is there between ferm k and servomyces?

I don't have any hops that seems to be traditionally used for brown ales at the moment and wont be able to get anymore before brewday. For instance, I only a few grams of cascade, which I can maybe add at flame out. I'll be using apollo for bittering. I want the beer to be more malty and less...

Brew my first braggot over the weekend. I only added half the honey at flameout to get a OG of 1.065. I also added some Dap and old yeast to the boil. The second batch of honey will take the OG to around 1.086, ABV of 10.3% I have a few questions, looking for more opinions. I've googled all of...

Ive googgled this a bit and the general consensus is dont do it. But have anyone done mead secondry without a airlock? Ive been making beer for a bit and started to look at making mead. One of the issues i have with the higher abv beer and mead is the storage time. I am willing to wait but...

I started to drop the temperature of the beer, but added the gelatin too soon. The beer was still at 13c, 55.4f. But there I was with the gelatin already mix and heated in my hand....so I poured it in. Do add more gelatin when the beer is closer to 0c or do I just leave it. Wait and see if I...

My first go at my own Amber ale recipe. I was following a motto of making 1 malt tweak at a time to my standard pale ale recipe (80% 2row,10%crystal40,10%carapils) This will be the first time I'm combining a lot of them. I want a light amber....or a maltier pale ale. 70% 2Row 15% Munich...

Im considering doing some small scale experimenting. So doing a batch of about 2.5liters....over 1/2 gallon I guess. So I can get a six pack, 330ml, out at a time. What should I do when it comes to bottling? I currenly have a 10liter bottling bucket. Do I keep using that one, make a...

The only DME I can get, here in Cape Town, always gives me a higher FG than planned. That's with US-05 or Bella Saison yeast. The pale ale all grain we make, gives a FG of 1.010, but if I do a partial with half 2row replaced with DME, I get a FG of closer to 1.020. Should I rather not then...

Hi I’m still verily new to home brewing and have a question on grain bill tweaking. We’ve been using the same grain bill for our pale ale recipe, for a few brews now, and only been playing around with the hops or the yeast. Target is normally 44L wort from one boil, split into two...
