Hello, as the title suggests, my milk Stout is stuck after two weeks of fermentation. I have just found out that with lactose, beers may tend to finish higher (FG). I don't know if that is the case over here and don't want to risk having a few bottle bombs. Edit : current gravity measured with a...

So I have come back to homebrewing after a lengthy gap of around a year and found that my fridge still has an opened pack of S-04 (the pack would have been sanitized & sealed with a clip). Now I don't remember how much of that yeast is still remaining or how viable it still is. Do you'll...

Hello guys, a friend has asked me to brew an SOS batch for his birthday next month. I don't brew that often and have just the one fermenter which I am going to be using for my Hefeweizen batch this week. What I do have is a 5 Ltr PET jar which I would like to use to ferment the batch for my...

Hey guys, I am looking at making a 1G Hefe for the first time. The recipe calls for Pils & Wheat malt bill with Hellertauer Hersbrucker hops at 60 & 15 minutes. The problem I am facing is unavailability of Wyeast 3068 around here in India. We have WB-06 and M20 yeasts available. I have done...

Hello guys, amateur homebrewer here, but with a background of manufacturing technology (not from food industry though). I was wondering if there was anybody here who has built a BIAB system (Brew in a Bag/Basket ... preferably basket) system here from scratch and would like to give me a few...

Sorry if I am super late to the party as I have been researching but unable to come to a conclusion. So I have some fresh mangoes (not frozen). I would like to add them to my beer in the Primary (not going for secondary). Yes I know I need to wait for vigorous fermentation to get over, So i...

Opened the lid of my Fermenting bucket where this IPA has been fermenting for 13 days. I don't know what those bubbles are but they sure don't look too nice. The FG has come down to 1.008 but I am not sure if it is done fermenting. The bucket lid doesn't seal too well so I have not seen any...

Hello guys, So my first ever BIAB homebrew, which was a 5L Citra IPA is in bottling now for around 36 hours. This morning I saw some bubbles on the surface of the beer. I am using swing top bottles and at a temperature of around 19-20 degrees C. I hit my OG perfectly, which was around 1.05...

Hello guys, I have a couple of questions :) Can Star-San and PBW be included with checked-in luggage? I'm planning to ask my brother to bring it to India from the US. Also how many beer cans could he possibly carry with him? And lastly, please suggest good IPAs from the Boston area...

Hey guys, long time lurker but first time poster here. I recently had my first ever brewday, where I brewed a 5L IPA using Cascade & Citra but somewhere the whole process went horribly awry and I ended up with an OG waaaay above what was required. So, now I am ready to go at it again but felt I...
