Just transferred a nice IPA from the fermenter into a keg. I don't have room in my kegerater for it right now. How long can I store it in my 67 degree basement before it starts to go south on me? Will the hop bitterness dissipate over time? Thanks Sean

I received Adobe CS5.5 Web Premium for Christmas and I've been trying to learn it on and off for a few months now. WOW! There is a lot to learn. Is there anyone out there that could point me to a good resource on learning Illustrator and/or Photoshop?! Either one of these programs I think would...

Thought I'd post my recipe for an Oatmeal Raisin Stout and see what you guys think. If there is anything that stands out as a possible "no-no" or "ICK" factor, let me know! 9 lbs ~ 2-Row 8oz ~ Flaked Oats 8oz ~ Chocolate Malt 8oz ~ Special B 8oz ~ Carmel/Crystal 120 4oz ~ Roasted barley...

So my Dad has gotten into brewing beer, but is only doing half bathes (2.5 gallons). He figures that's plenty of any one beer before you want to brew another style. The problem he's running into is he's losing a lot (3/4 gallon) to the trube. He ferments in a 3 gallon carboy, and fills it to...

I brewed my first original recipe Brown Ale a few weeks ago and it recently went into the keg for carbing. When I did the recipe up in BrewSmith, I knew it was going to be light in the bitterness department, but ran with it. So as I was transferring to the keg I gave it a taste. It was...

So I got my kegerator (Sanyo SR4912) off Craigslist, and it's been working great. I've decided to add tap handles to the front, but rather than drill holes though the front of the door, I thought I would build a new door out of rigid insulation and Masonite (peg board material without the...

I think I know the answer to this and I am pretty sure I’m OK, but I thought I’d ask because this is just my 3rd batch. My fermentation seems to have really slowed down, and I’m not sure if it’s because of the temp or the yeast is just done doing it’s thing. Last Friday I brewed a batch of...

Does anyone have a clone recipe for Odell's "Levity"? I did a Google search and only found the 90 Schilling. Thanks Sean

This may sound like a dumb question but can you get an accurate gravity reading from a beer that is already KEGGED and carbed?!

So my Holiday Red has been brewing vigorously for the last 6 days in the primary. I was planning on racking to secondary tomorrow so I went down to check on it tonight. What I have been doing is smelling the gases coming out if the air lock and had been smelling like "hoppy" beer, but today it...

I think it should be ok but I thought I'd ask anyway. When I was pouring my cooled wort into the primary, it clogged the screen in the funnel with hop and grain bits. The flow came to a stop so I pulled the screen and poured the brew straight into the primary, allowing all the sediment into...

So I cracked my first brew (a hefeweizen). It fermented for 10 days, was in a secondary for 7 days, and then bottle conditioned for 7 days. There was actually pretty good carbonation for only week. But the taste was off. It was really tangy, or tart. The color was a little darker than I would...

I've seen a ton of threads about "when should I bottle", so I didn't want to start another one unless I looked around. I haven't actually seen this one come up (I'm sure someone will prove me wrong), but here it goes. I have been brewing a Hefeweizen. It was in the primary for 10 days, and...

Hey guys, I'm new here and I'm so glad I found this forum. I wasn't much of a beer fan until I visited my local micro brew and brew supply store! Now my wife and I go every Friday!! So I've been seriously thinking about brewing a batch of my own beer but I wanted to know if it is possible to...
