Has anyone here ever brewed two beers & blended them to achieve a different taste like people do with wine?

My first keg has been conditioning for 3 weeks, I just converted a mini fridge to be a home for my keg. I have a small CO2 set up and I am anxious to dispense my beer & drink it. So how long to you generaly condition if not force carbing & how long do you chill after conditioning before you...

I think it would be a good idea if everyone put a photo of or a link to every fermentation closet/room/chamber post on the forum in one spot. I noticed someone recently looking to frame in a fermentation closet into their garage with an added ac unit. I remeber seeing a few picutred on the...

When we built our new house, we built a seperate detached 2 car garage for HWMC to work on his project cars. He decided after about 6 months that it was not big enough. So he built a monster garage out in the back acerage and told me we could convert the little garage to a brew house/ project...

I was running my usual craigslist add to pickup bottles. I got a call from a guy who said, I have bottles for you but I also have some 6.5 gal carboys. I sell test acids to labs & we use the bottles once & dispose of them. they have already been steam cleaned & are perfect & I will deliver them...

Generaly speaking how long does a top flocculating yeast stay on top & do you always have to cold crash to get it to settle?

OK so I recommened a site for a cooler and it was pointed out to me that it was to high. So upon further research I found that tractor supply has a 10 gallon cooler for less than 20.00. It does not have a screw on lid but for a mash tun this should not be important. Hopefully the Tractor...

Orange Insulated Water Cooler, 10 Gallons: Kitchen Supply Direct, Inc. thought this looked like a good buy if you are trying to build a tune or electric kettle

OK so my first BIAB a cream of three crops 10 gal batch has been in the fermentor almost 4 weeks, opened it up to check gravity and it has turned to vinegar. I am so disgusted. I have been reviewing my sanitation and can't think of anything I forgot to do. I did use a new bucket that I have...

I have the following items on hand. I can make a run to the LHBS tommrow. I can go extract w specialty grain or whole grain, 5.5 gal as my brew pot & equipment won't accomodate the 10 gal batch. Does anyone have any suggestions as to a recipe? I got my new temp controler so my options have...

Now that it is hot here, can't brew without thinking about capacity to cool the brew. I am currently using two 120 qrt coolers for swamp coolers/ice & fan. We are still working on my brew space so I can't hook up a full size fermentation fridge and my mini fridge box is only good for 5 gallons...

OK so all you guys that are always ranting that if you use orange juice in your brew it will be hooch or pruno here it is. I brewed this batch with Briess wheat extract, muttons light extract & two 16 oz cans of orange juice concentrate as adjunct to brew and knotty as the yeast and cascade as...

Bought a 6pack of these while we were sitting outside at a car show, nice Friday night relaxing activity. The bottle says this is a complex beer with some carmel/vanilla overtones, did not taste this at all. I found the beer to be over bitter.

I have a blonde ale that just finished 3 weeks in the bottle it taste fine but is over carbed. Do you think this is an infection or maybe I just over shot the priming sugar or the temperature changes or what? It does not have any off flavor taste just like a blonde should taste but with 4...
