Hello I think I need some advice on brewing beer with high ABV, it seems like all my attempts are failing. I started over a year ago to brew some high ABV ales, first attempt was a barley wine with a ABV of about 10%. Since then I've brewed 2 more barley wines, a scottish wee heavy, 3 old ales...

I'm getting a bit frustrated with my homebrews.I've been brewing a bit over a year (BIAB and some extracts) and I'm still waiting for that enjoyable beer. My extract brews have been fairly okay, mostly, but I'm struggling with my all grain brews and somewhat also when steeping grains on extract...

Hi I have question I hope someone can enlighten me here. I done 5 BIAB batches of beer so I'm still very much a beginner. 2 hoppy IPA and 3 more UK style beers, the result have been fairly good, not great but okay enough for me to keep going on. When I know the fermentation is done I take...
