Have a triple that is good but I want to dose it with Brett to make it something that may be great. If I dose my keg, is that corney dedicated to only Brett beers or will it be fine with PBW, star san and gasket replacement.

I have two IPA's that I am entering into a local IPA Competition. Both have a VERY smooth bitterness due to late hopping. What notes should I put under comments so the judges know what to expect. I'm afraid even though its a tasty beverage I will get killed on points because they won't have a...

I have keg and forced carbed about 15 batches of beer with no issue. My current two batches are foaming out of control. Two separate beers in Two separate kegs, packaged Monday and both foaming like hell. The only variables that have changed are my beverage out disconnects are now the...

I brewed an IPA Friday using whole leaf hops for the 1st time. 1 ounce citra and 1 ounce centennial. I ran off about 1.25 ounces and it clogged like nothing I have ever seen. Long story short I had to pour everything into the carboy via funnel. Used Wyeast 1056. Fermentation is done...

I'm just interested in how everyone uses the product. My primary concern is in the fermentor. Do you add, rack and pitch or Rack, pitch and add? Do you add directly when you see active kraussen rising? Just curious for the proper application of the product.

I have about eight beans that were hand delivered from a friends trip to madagascar ... They smell fantastic. I don't want them to go to waste so I thought I would make 2-3 quick brews to use them up but I don't have a recipe in mind. Anyone have a favorite brew they would be willing to share...

I made a chocolate peanut butter milk stout. I added 2 lbs of lactose and you can REALLY taste that mistake. It's kegged and I need a way to back “un-sweeten” it. I thought about adding coffee to add some bitterness but I really have no idea how to make it drinkable.

I am drinking this years St. Bernardus Christmas Ale and for once I am picking up a distinct flavor. I'm getting a rootbeer aroma and flavor. Any chance it is flavored with Sarsaparilla Root? I have never heard about this being used before and it would explain the unique flavor.

Just got a pack of Dow Corning FG-10 anti-foam emulsion powder in a .17 ounce sachet. Do I just pour this in the carboy after I pitch my yeast? No problems with sanitation?

I read all the directions on making your own stirplate, made it to radio shack and went Tim the Toolman crazy. I bought this fan instead of the size I should have: big fan. I have a 120V cord that runs it but when it runs full speed it's too fast. Can anyone tell be what to use to slow it down...
