I'm out in my garage brewing up a nice two-row, but damn it's hot outside. It's going to be well worth it, but I had to gripe. I don't have a immersion chiller and I usually chill off the wort with a cold bath, I just don't know if today I will be able to pull it off. Guess I'll double up on...

Anyone ever brew an all cascade AG? I am about three minutes away from doing it, whadda think?

I have a question regarding the ill effects of air in the tubing during a transfer to my bottling bucket. I was using a new auto-siphon that was sucking a lot of air during my transfer resulting in a small foam at the top. I did further testing and it was my fault for having too much distance...

I performed my first AG yesterday and overall I am pleased. Everything went fairly smooth, I just took my time and enjoyed the whole process. My OG was right on where I wanted it so I should be happy, right? I made a yeast starter out of a re-harvested liquid yeast and just when I was about to...

I am brewing this batch as I type: 1 lb American Crystal 80L ½ lb Dextrin 3 lb Amber DME 4 lb Extra Light DME 1 oz Magnum @ 60’ .5 oz Hallertau @ 45’ .25 oz Cascade @ 15’ .5 oz cascade @ 5’ Do the hops look off to anyone? It is too late to do anything about it, but I thought I'd...

Before I took my FG reading I added my bottle primer (dme 1 1/2 cups) to my beer. I then took my reading which was 1.022 with a OG of 1.057. I was wondering how many points will the bottle primer add to my FG? I am fairly sure that fermentation was complete. There was hardly any yeast...

How do I get more clarity from my extract-steeped beers? I have been really happy with the taste of most of my recipes but I would like them to present a little clearer. I use Irish Moss and follow the 1-2-3 rule. I am wondering if letting them sit in the fridge for a week before consuming...

I am in the middle of brewing and I need help with my hop selection. Any advice would be great. Basic Ale Steeping Grains: ¾ lb Caravienne ¼ lb Dextrin (head retainer) 3 lb Amber DME 4 lb Light DME .75 oz Cascade @ 60’ .5 oz Willamette @ 45’ .5 oz Cascade @ 5’ Thanks

Here is what I brewed yesterday. It had a fairly light color to it...lighter than I would like. This was the first time I used Irish Moss and it seemed to really make a difference with clearity. I usually strain my wort when going to primary and I think this also helps with clearity. I did...

I have some leftover hops and steeping grains that I would like to use tomorrow. Here's what I have: oz. of cascade and columbus hops. 1/2 oz of hallertau (sp) and willimette hops. 1/4 # of Munich dark and a 1/4 # of biscuit malt. I would like to make a red ale that has some nice...
