DAMNNNNNN IIIITTTTTT!!!!!!! My pale ale peaked yesterday. Citrus flavors dropped way off and color going darker. It got Oxidized in transfer, I had flooded the keg with CO2 but still have to leave the lid off and just transfer with a tube. However as the fermenter empties it just pulls in room...

Pale ale keeps getting better. Flavor rounding out, carbonation is just about right, and getting clearer each day.

Sampling my tropical pale ale. The first time I made this it smelled like pineapple. At the time I Kegged it this was the same but now that it has begun to carbonate it smells and tastes like grapefruit. Still could use a few more days to finish carbonating it will be a good one for the...

Unfortunately not a homebrew as I’m waiting on a couple kegs of my Tropical Pale Ale to carbonate well. So tonight is Paulaner Salvator

An imperial stout That was probably the 4th brew I did. Been sitting in the back of the brew closet since I bottled it in June of 2019. Time has certainly done well for it.

Been doing Ales foot a few years, and figured since work is sending me out of town for a few months, this might be as good a time as any to try to run a lager, and use my kegerator as a fermentation chamber. Built a starter big enough according to Brewers Friend. Depending on where I look the...

Did the vanilla, absolutely evil undrinkable crap. Added a healthy amount of sweet orange peel to see if it can be saved, but I don’t hold out much hope for what dubbed The Swamp Thing.

Was reading a few days ago S.S. Brewtech is supposed to be coming out with a 20gal version in the near future

I’m currently doing my second BIAB right now. 8 gal pot 17 pounds of grain. Started with 5 gal of water, then dunk sparge with 3.5. Return was 7 total. I’ll boil down to 6.25 before starting my 60 mins. This one is heavy enough my burner is having trouble bringing it to a boil.

After 4 days fermentation appears to be pretty well done only bubbling about every minute and a half. Took a reading and came out at 1.010. Right where the recipe called for. Tasted the sample, much better than I expected considering the best I could do for temps was 79-80 degrees, but that was...

Figure I better brew enough over the winter to hold over the summer. No way I can hold temps in acceptable range in Phoenix.

I've been doing a few 1 gallon meads and ciders, decided to go ahead and do a 5 gallon beer. It’s a Fat Tire clone, and other than my Coleman stove struggling to boil a full 6 gallons (took an hour). I think it’s going fine. Keeping it in a tub of cool water in the spare bathroom to help control...

The vanilla might be an interesting addition. I thought a bit about adding either mint or lemongrass as a possibility.

New to the forums, and relatively new to meads I've only done 3 with a 4th about to finish. My wife was asking about making a green tea or Matcha mead. I'm sure it can be done, but not sure which way would be prefered, or if there is anything I should watch out for. On one hand I could just...

Lalvin D47 has been working very well for me so far. Using it on both Mead and Cider. The first I used it on was a Black Cherry Mead that started at 1.128, and was finished down to 1.001 in 8 days. No off flavors that I had expected as the A/C in the house broke and the temps went up into the...
