Brewed Biermuncher's Octoberfast about three weeks ago with no problems on brewday. Pitched S-04 and got good activity in a few hours. Unfortunately, we had a heatwave shortly thereafter and my usually realiably cool basement allowed ferment temp to get into the seventies. Kegged this last...

So I started growing my own hops and brewing last year but had to send away for equipement and supplies, or drive half an hour. Then, as if by magic a brewshop/HOPS FARM budded from the garden store that is visible from my own backyard. This weekend I went in and the owner Pat gave me a tour...

Headed to Malibu this weekend via LAX to hang with old college friends. We won't go out much if at all so I have one stop to grab the goods before heading to the rental house. I'd like to spend as much of the weekend as possible trying amazing IPAs ans DIPAs not available in Colorado. We're...

Doing a Surly Furious clone but wyeast 1335 smack pack has shown no signs of life Despite being pitched 3 days ago. Is S-04 or S-05 a reasonable sub to re-pitch?

So I was in a hurry to brew up a stout so I pitched two vials of wlp Irish Ale Yeast instead of doing a starter. Soooo it's been a couple days and not much is Up with the airlock AND I noticed my basement is up to 70 degrees AND I have no Way to decrease the temp further. So should I...

OK I'm clueless when it comes to kegging! I've got a new regulator and a used CO2 tank. I was successfully dispensing from one keg and had both it and another uncarbed keg at 10 psi overnight. The next day the tank pressure gauge read the same (about 600 psi) as the night before but there was...

So, after talking to a friend (with a lot more money) who bought a new Beverage Air dual tapper, I decided I'd like one also-for about a Grand less... That next day a Craigslist light shown down on me...a tripple tapper Bev Air/Superior for 500 bones. Looked old but good and the homebrewer...

I just brewed up a Diamond Knot IPA inspired brew this Saturday. It used Marris Otter, Munich and Crystal 20 for the malt bill and Homegrown Galena for bittering and finished with 20minute, 5minute and flameout additions of Columbus. I originally planned to dry hop with 2 oz of Columbus but I...

Thinking of making the jump to all grain and it seems to me that since I already have a super high BTU natural gas grill hooked into my house I could just use it instead of buying propane burners. Less stuff to move around on brew day and less stuff to buy...right? On this forum previously, it...

So I told myself I wouldn't do it...but of course I bought the Pliny the Elder mini-mash kit from Austin's today. Seemed like a good deal. I love me some Pliny but I do have a similar (I hope) DIPA already in the primary. So I says to myself...self... how's about TWO five gallon batches using...

Hey all. My first year hops are near harvest and it looks like Galena is my only substantially yielding plant. With that in mind I've been looking for recipes that use Galena and I've come across Diamond Knot IPA which sounds delicious and bitters with Galena. So I'd like to clone it for a...

Scoobydoobynooby here. I'm planning on brewing my first non-kit recipe next Tuesday. Name is One Legged Hop (In honor of my flyfishing buddy who shattered his ankle when his deck collapsed this spring). Style is IIPA. I love Alpha King, Ruination, Pliny...who wouldn't? Anyway the malt bill...
