    My RV-based brewing adventures

    Hi all, I hope this is the right forum for this. My family and I are moving into a fifth wheel trailer and selling the house! But I sure dont want that to end my homebrew career. I thought I'd make a YouTube channel to share the fun. I'll do some how to videos, and share tips on conquering some...

    New post a picture of your pint

    An American Amber I made back in November. Why do my photos come in sideways? Using the forum app and an android.

    What's the big deal with kit brewing

    I brewed about 10 batches of extract beer before I decided to try partial mash. Did one of those then went to all grain. Ran into a coworker recently at the LHBS and chatted with him for a bit. He said he's been brewing extract for years. To each his own. We haven't gotten together yet for a...

    Don't Do That.

    Span a car battery terminals with a wrench and your wedding ring. Don't do that!

    My attempt at brewing a Golden Monkey Clone (Victory Brewing)

    about 2 weeks ago, I starteda Golden Monkey Clone, based off Denny's Homage to Golden monkey https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/forum/index.php?topic=29051.0 the brew day went pretty well, although when I added my grain to the strike water, I didn't end up at 150 for my mash. I was at...

    Ale to the Chief

    Yeah I could see it being a bit expensive with the local honey, but after brewing a vanilla porter with real vanilla beans I don't think it will be too bad. Also less expensive than usingwhite house honey I presume, haha. Glad to hear y'all like it. I might have to give it a go.

    Ale to the Chief

    Just stumbled across this... anyone make this with your own local honey? https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/blog/2012/09/01/ale-chief-white-house-beer-recipe Extra points if you used actual white house honey :-)

    It's basically impossible to get drunk from sub 6% beers

    I remember those days as well. I knew a few guys that joined the century club 100oz in 100 minutes and thought they were hot stuff. I played along for 36 oz once. That was enough. I am finding though that now, my homebrew goes down a lot easier than the beers I used to buy. I try to keep it to...

    Average age of home brewers......

    Fat tire partial mash clone

    @RM-MN I have plenty of beer in the backlog so time isn't really an issue, per se. However since I'm still a relative newbie, 8 weeks still seems like a long time for me. @jalc6927 I tasted it when I kegged. It's one of my best brews yet, and it was flat. Even my non beer drinking wife got...

    Fat tire partial mash clone

    Gosh, I think this beer has been the most difficult for me to wait for... per the recipe yer supposed to wait 8 weeks post brew day to enjoy this one. I packaged it last weekend into a 5 gallon keg. Putting it on tap on Feb 3. Can't wait!

    What did you end up brewing?

    Beginner Rig

    A budget of 200, IMO, is quite low to get "robust" and "elegant". A starter kit will have a bunch of reusable components and would get you started, fermenter, racking cane, bottling bucket, and you could even use the included kettle to heat sparge water later. Do you have a basement, or how...

    No airlock bubbles

    I had all sorts of worry about by first batch - it was the same kit you have. How warm or cold is the room you have the fermenter in. Mine was on the bottom shelf of my basement storeroom, and it really didn't seem like it was doing much. I moved it to my home office which is a bit warmer and...

    Primary question

    The krausen on my latest Blonde Ale hasn't fallen and it's been two weeks since brew day. I agree with @kh54s10, leave it be for a while longer, another week or two. If it were me I would actually wait 2 or 3 then add the cocoa nibs. Then another week or two before bottling.
