    A Lesson in Impatience

    Looking for a quick turnaround (missed a couple weeks of brewing and had a tap open) I decided to brew BM's Centennial Blonde after reading rave reviews. He had mentioned that it's quite possible to go Grain to Glass in two weeks (one week primary, one week force carb). I had a great brew...

    Burr to cone?

    What kinda timeline am I lookin at here? I planted my rhyzomes in containers during late March (started them in a sun-room indoors because of snow and freezing weather), now they're all about 15ft and two Cascades and a Centennial are covered in burrs. How long does it take for burrs to mature...

    Lager Fermentation?

    This past weekend I brewed up a baltic porter (OG 1.097, 2308 Munich Lager). I had some trouble cooling it (still haven't made myself an IC) and ended up pitching around 100F due to time constraints. Per instructions from my LHBS owner, I let it ferment at room temp for about 12 hours, then...

    Strange Taste Developing...

    I've got a weird, bubblegum-like taste developing in the Christmas ale I brewed about two months ago. It tasted great (nice and spicy!) after three weeks of carbonation, and I cracked on open tonight to see how it was comin along and discovered this funky development. I ferment in my...

    So I lost my siphon filter...

    Somehow I managed to lose the filter cap for my auto-siphon and I had planned to bottle my stout today. Are there homemade filter caps you guys have rigged up? (I know how crafty some of you are). Should I just forget the filter for this batch, as it's a stout and clarity isn't really an...

    Stuck tubing?

    After bottling a batch the other day, I went to disassemble my racking cane, bottling wand and 1/2" tubing, but they're all stuck together! I must have pushed them too far into one another. Anyone have this problem? How did you fix it? I've tried brute force and some hot water. Is it okay to...

    For Anyone Thinking of Harvesting Pacman

    DO IT! First, thanks to all for the quick responses to the questions I've asked so far - you both put my nerves at ease and made this a success (hopefully!). When I was researching about harvesting the Pacman, I found it difficult to find all of the "how to make a starter" and "harvesting...

    HELP! Pitching soon!

    I posted several days ago saying that I planned to split an oatmeal stout batch and pitch each half (2.5 gals each) with two different yeasts (one with Pacman from a Shakespeare Stout bottle, one with Irish 1084. I'm in the middle of my boil right now, and things are going great, but I'm...

    Splitting an Oatmeal Stout

    I posted this in the recipes forum, but wasn't sure if that was the right place for it. So I've got a couple brews under my belt now and for my next I'm planning the Clone Brew recipe for Sam Smith's Oatmeal Stout. To make things a little more exciting, I was thinking of experimenting a...

    Splitting an Oatmeal Stout

    Hey there So I've got a couple brews under my belt now and for my next I'm planning the Clone Brew recipe for Sam Smith's Oatmeal Stout. To make things a little more exciting, I was thinking of experimenting a little bit and splitting the batch into two fermenters... the first would be the...

    Too late to start a Christmas brew?

    Long time reader, first time poster... thanks for all the advice I've gathered from this site. You guys are great. So my first brew (Sierra Nevada Pale Ale clone) is in the secondary (looks and tastes great so far) and I'm totally hooked into brewing. Ready to start my next batch. I really...
