    Brewer's Orchard Fruit Puree

    I'm getting ready to brew a couple different fruit flavored wheat beers for spring time. I was curious if anyone has experience with Brewer's Orchard fruit puree? I have used Vintner's Harvest in the past, but Brewer's Orchard has some different flavors that I am interested in. I don't see many...

    Partial Mash Efficiency Dropping from Pre-Boil to Fermenter

    I brewed a partial mash recipes using BIAB method last weekend. I mashed all my grains and then added LME in the last 15 minutes of the boil. I tried calculating my efficiency using Brewer's Friend (https://www.brewersfriend.com/brewhouse-efficiency/). I am coming up with 57.4% efficiency (not...

    Bottling My First Big Beer

    I just got a recipe from my LHBS which is slightly hoppy version of an old ale. My plan is to brew it and let it sit on some oak cubes for 6 months to drink next fall/winter. The OG for this beer is 1.075-1.080 and FG is 1.019-1.024. I have never bottled a beer with this high of a final gravity...

    Spike Flex Mini Fridge

    Has anyone found a mini fridge that works as a fermentation chamber with the Spike Flex or Flex+? It looks like the dimensions are a little large for most mini-fridges. I'd like to avoid a full size fridge or chest freezer.

    Silicone Blowoff Tube for Carboy

    I was curious if anyone uses 1" silicone tubing for a blowoff tube in glass carboys? I can't seem to find any mention of it anywhere. I've been using 1" vinyl for my last 2 batches, but it always seems to knock over my container of sanitizer because it is pretty inflexible and wants to curl back...

    Brewer's Best Kettle

    Does anyone have experience with the kettles made by Brewer's Best? I haven't seen them anywhere before today. The price looks pretty good and it comes with welded fittings and stamped volume markings. My goal is to upgrade to a kettle that I can brew 5 gallon BIAB over a propane turkey fryer...

    Pot Diameter for Induction Burner

    I'm looking at making the jump to induction brewing during the winter months. I was wondering if there are any limitations on the maximum pot diameter that can be used on induction burners. I only plan to make extract brews using a partial boil (+/- 4 gallon). I am looking at the Avantco 1800w...

    Help Troubleshooting my Beer

    I brewed my first beer (partial mash) in about 2 years. It came out with some pretty bad off-flavors (Bitter, Astringent, Grainy/Husky). I was hoping to get some help troubleshooting my process. There were definitely a few spots that didn’t go so well. Hopefully someone can help eliminate 1 or 2...

    Transferring Wort to Carboy

    I was recently given a free 6 gallon carboy by someone who hadnt used it in years. This weekend i tried fermenting in a carboy for the first time. After I cooled my wort in my brew pot, I tried to transfer my wort to the carboy. It was a bit of a disaster. I tried to pour it into the carboy...
