I have an English Brown Ale I made and was asked by someone to add honey to it, stating they enjoy Honey Brown (didnt know they still made that beer :)) I made 10 gal of it, so I plan on flavoring half the batch with honey (5 gal) Has anyone tried adding honey at the time of bottling, or does...

I was planning on brewing a Belgium Wit last week but some other things came up then as well as this weekend and I have to put it off until next weekend. Last week, I made a starter last week and let it sit at room temp. My question is: Will the yeast still be good, or should I make another...

I made a barleywine and let it ferment for two weeks at 68 degrees then added 32oz of 100% Black Cherry juice and a packet of Montrachet wine yeast for another round of fermentation. I added it Saturday and as of today it has had little to no activity. Did I do this wrong, or should I just...

I plan on brewing a really strong RIS in the next few weeks and was wondering if I should ferment it with a starter of White Labs Super High Gravity yeast or a big starter of WLP002? I read that WLP099 can produce fruity esters which I am hoping to avoid, but I was not sure if I just...

I am currently brewing a barleywine using White Labs Super High Gravity Yeast (WLP099). I was thinking about brewing a strong Imperial Stout this weekend and transferring it on top of the yeast cake from the barleywine. My question is: will the stout have off flavors from the yeast/trub left...

I have a 7.5 gal kettle and usually try to collect 6.5-6.75 gal of wort for boiling so I was concerned about whole leaf hops taking up too much room and causing a boilover. I also was concerned...

I'm not sure if someone already posted a game like this, but it makes the time at work go by a little faster. I put up a quote and then someone has to guess which movie it is from. The person who guesses it correctly then puts up the next quote. I'll start: "It's $10 for a BJ, $12 for...

Does this unfortunate phenomenon happen to anyone else when consuming alot of IPA? I did an IPA tasting with some friends over the weekend and had gas so bad Saturday night that the SWMBO made me sleep in the guest bed. Normally she can tolerate my regular "blend", but these hop farts can be...

First off, Happy early St. Patty's day to all! I have been thinking of brewing up an Octoberfest beer this month to serve at an Octoberfest party in September. The problem is my basement can only get down to 60 degrees F and I am worried that is not cold enough. Would fermentation at this...

Thanks in advance for any advice you can give. I have a 3 gallon glass carboy sitting around and was thinking about experimenting with some high gravity beers. I brew partial mash now but will be doing AG in the near future. My question is: When I do an AG batch, is it smart to just add DME...

Glad to be here Happy New Year to everyone! I heard about this site from my friend Matt and he spoke highly of it so I had to see what it is all about. My name is Dan and I have been home brewing for about 6 months now. I am 28 and live in Wilmington, DE. So far I have made a Porter, Stout...
