    Trying to add spiciness to a stout clone, help needed..

    I'm trying to replicate a beer I have absolutely fallen in love with while trying to change it up a little (New Holland Dragons Milk Reserve 2022 1). Essentially this beer was flooding with cinnamon, vanilla, bourbon, and spiciness. I feel like I already got the cinnamon part down and vanilla...

    Need Help W/ Water Additions- Chocolate Cherry Cake Stout

    Diving into the realm of all grain here! Not completely a newb (came up from the ranks of extract, partial mash, and moving into the big leages). That being said my personal tap water is pretty poopy, leaves my beers a tad bit watery and my wines a bit skunky so I'm starting with good ole...

    Has anyone used this wort chiller? Thoughts?

    So I am looking for an inexpensive wort chiller so I can get into all grain brewing, I think I found one that would adequately do the job on Amazon. Does anyone have this chiller? If so how do you like it? If no one does can someone that has a chiller maybe leave their thoughts? Thanks in...

    What is the point of cold crashing when bottling?

    I bottle all my brews and I have read several threads about cold crashing and bottling but I suppose I just don't understand the reasoning... I get that its a good idea to cold crash when kegging but what's the point of doing it when bottling? Keep in mind that I have only ever cold crashed once...

    Brendan's Triple Berry Wine

    I tried to module this recipe layout from a northern brewer kit as I feel like those directions are very well organized. Note: I did not brew this yet but I have had friends that made it and said it was good. Its really red but none of them told me if it tasted like a red wine or not so I can't...

    Is BeerSmith worth it and Milwaukee water profile...

    I want to try all grain brewing and I'm going to borrow the equipment from my friend but if I am going to do it I want to do it right. Will tap water make ok beer if I'm just looking to give it a whirl or should I actually do this right away. Keep in mind that I may not follow through...

    Is there a way to change my username?

    So just like most things in life you think its a good idea and then down the road, you think its stupid... well this is one of those times. In simpler terms my username makes me seem like a child, is there a way to change it? This is probably the wrong forum to ask this in but O'well.

    Yeast Washing Fail..Maybe

    Today I went to bottle my Bourbon Barrel Porter which was a success and for the first time ever I washed yeast. There was a little bit of coagulated wheat protein and every time I swirled my fermenter ( it was a one-gallon batch) the wheat protein would catch some of the yeast but I proceeded...

    Can you wash wine yeast?

    Hello, today I am asking a question that has been bugging me for the last nine hours now.... can you wash wine yeast? I'm getting into yeast washing on the beer side but today I had to rack my wine into secondary and the thought crossed my mind. I mean it would be fairly simple to do because on...
