I bottled an IPA a few weeks ago, and since i dry hopped 5 oz and didn't do a great job of getting the hops out, all my bottles had a layer of hops sitting on the bottom. Now every time I open a bottle, it opens OK but after a few seconds its starts to bubble and eventually i get a steadly flow...

My well went down today, and the only thing in the house to drink this morning is Dr. Pepper and beer. Since Dr. Pepper for breakfast is just wrong, I had a porter and it was great. Not overpowering, with a hint of molasses. Om nom nom. What is everyone else's favorite breakfast beer?

I would just like to thank the community for all their help so far. This forum is great for a read or to get timely help on questions that you can't find a solid answer for anywhere else. Cheers :mug:

I just finished my first imperial IPA. I was expecting a strong hoppy smell like Dogfishhead but apparently not. I'm guessing I used the wrong hops for that, but instead im getting some serious grapefruit. Is the reason my choice of hops? Attached is my recipe (I kitchen sinked my spare hops)...

I have been reading the forums, and there are some different opinions on correct lager starter technique. I was wondering if anyone could give me a short suggestion on how to prepare my boston lager clone starter given that I had 6 days until brew, a 100 billion count Wyeast 2206 lager...

Alright guys, now that I got a chest freezer I can make some real beer, and I just perfected my MGD 64 clone. Recipe 2.2 lbs 2-row 1 lb flaked corn .2 oz Saaz (.3 for a very hoppy taste) @ 60 min Mash at 147 F for 120 minutes. OG- 1.018 FG- 1.002 Ferment at 1 week @ 45 F Lager for 2 months 35...

I just bought a 9 cubic foot chest freezer, and hopefully I will find a temperature controller before this weekend. But I had a questions about the best way to handle the different lager temperatures. I can fit at least 2 fermenters in the freezer (3 if I get a collar), and I prefer to brew 5...

Does anyone know if any national chain stores (Home Depot, Lowes, etc) or stores in Connecticut that carry temperature controllers? I just bough a 7 ft chest freezer yesterday and I MUST brew a lager this weekend now that I finally have a way to keep the temp constantly below 71.

I wanted to get everyone's opinion on my next idea for an extreme beer. I have been reading about the 120 min IPA clones and utopia clones and wanted to try my hand at this. I wrote the batch as a 4 gallon batch, but since I am thinking about pitching it on 1 gallon of another beer (total volume...

I just have a quick question. I am making an imperial IPA tomorrow and want to pitch some Nottingham yeast I have in my secondary from a batch I made about a month ago. I usually try to use primary yeast, but this brew was short notice and I need all the yeast I can get (without buying 2...

Hi everyone, I was thinking about stepping up from a stovetop to a outdoor burner. I also think I will eventually want to do 10 gallon batches, but right now I am doing five. Does this combination look like it will work well? Also when going for a 10 gallon batch would i want an 80 quart or...

Hey everyone, I just wanted to hear everyone's opinion on proper burial for your creations if anything bad should ever happen to them. My idea was to pour it in the back yard, then pour out a 40 oz. for my lost comrade. :tank:

Hi everyone, I just brewed my 4th batch, but my first all grain batch 3 days ago. The first 3 have or are coming out well, but the all grain batch (Elm city Ale clone) has some issues. First off the original SG was measured out as 1.020 which is much lower than the 1.045 or so it was supposed...
