Hi all, I've used Brewpal for a while and it's always been pretty decent. But wanting more flexibility I downloaded the BeerAlchemy app for IPhone. It's great...except the OG is always WAY off and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Example: 5 gal batch 10lb of 2 row in BA = 1.034 10lb...

Hello all, I've been brewing for about 4-5 years, and just switched to all-grain about 2-3 months ago. I've made edits on existing recipes, and copied recipes directly and have had good success. But the time has come for my first truly original batch and would love some opinions. . So, here...

I bottles a couple beers this weekend. A mirror pond clone, a great German Hefe and a bit if a disaster: a watermelon Hefe. Knowing it was going to be a bit tart, I decided to add some splenda right before bottling. But all I did was open the splenda packages and pour them into the bottling...

I'm brewing a clone of a Stone RIS. The recipe is a mini mash and has a starting gravity of 1.096. I hit it dead-on and everything was per instructions, but I screwed up my fermentation temp. Instead of 68, I fermented at 77. I know, I know. Fusels and banana stuff. But I'm getting a fridge...

I did a search and found a lot about using chest freezers to create keezers, but I can't find anything about them being good/bad as a place to keep my fermenting carboys cool. I was thinking of getting a used chest freezer and put 2 fermenting carboys/buckets in. Connect an external Johnson...

As i type here I'm trying to RDWDetc, etc...but I'm actually not succeeding. Maybe you guys can help put my mind to rest (or tell me I'm screwed). I'm brewing a PM Stone clone, Russian Imperial Ale. The thing is pretty massive, with an OG of 1.096, which i hit dead on. That's where the good...

I'm about to embark on my first ever Russian Imperial Stout. Heck, it's only my 3rd brew. The first was an extract +grain Belgian white and the second an extract +grain Trappist Ale. Both turned out fine. And I love Stone RIS...so what the heck. I got the recipe from BYO magazine and wanted to...

I've got a Belgian wit in primary. 5.25 gallons. Using WLP400, White Labs Beglian Wit. I had a starting gravity of 1.037 and after a slow, sluggish ferment (it's in a bucket, so hard to tell since it could've been leaking slowly out of the side) it was at 1.022 after 4 days. It's a bit warm...
