Brewed a chocolate hazelnut porter. My OG was 1.061 it's been 21 days in primary. Took a gravity reading and it's at 1.022 my expected final gravity according to beer smith is supposed to be 1.017. I'm a little worried it won't finish that low. I plan to leave it for another week and see if it...

ok heres the deal. Brewed an ipa 14 days ago pitched wyeast 1056. Fermentation took off in 6 hours. I ferment in a better bottle with a blow off tube. Had great active churning for 3 days after. After day 3 i get 1 bubble blowing out every 3 seconds and its been this way ever since. Usually...

So I've been lurking on the electric brewing section for a few days now, and I'm seriously considering going electric. For now I want my control panel to have a switch for a pump, and a DPDT 240v 30 amp switch. I want 2 PID's, one to monitor mash temp and one for my element in my HLT. which...

My wife and I tried macadamia nut chocolate stout called gallows point. It's made by Skullcoast brewery in S.C. We thought it was fantastic and I would like to brew something similar.

If I have a kegerator with a keg of yuengling, a keg from a local microbrew,and a keg of homebrew. They are chilled to serving temps and I drink half of each. My kegerator breaks and they sit at room temp. for a week (70-75 degrees). Then the kegerator is fixed and the beer is brought back to...

This was a blue moon clone that failed. My first crappy beer I've made out of six batches. Let me list the things that could have gone wrong. I had Wlp001 shipped to me and it was warm when I got it(maybe 2 days in the mail). The starter sucked,after 3 days not very many bubbles and the yeast...
