    Honest Opinions

    Hey good ideas guys. Thanks! My reasoning for percentage and og and ibu only was so people could dial it into their own system easier rather than convert my eff to match their batch size and such. Well hope you decide to follow the page!

    First Sour Beer Questions

    When you say blend, do you mean blend american and roselare? Or the roselare blend?

    First Sour Beer Questions

    Alright folks. Here's my question.... I plan on doing the Flander's Red from Brewing Classic Styles. It says a few ways to do it, from adding the Roselare strain in at the beginning with an American Ale Yeast, or at the end. The varying difference being the sourness. My idea is this, but I...

    Spotted Cow Extract Clone Help / Challenge...Will Donate $25 to HomeBrewTalk

    I've only done the Partial Mash up until now. And I only did that once. I just bought all the supplies to make an all-grain. Pretty jacked. Went with White Labs instead of Wyeast (personal pref...save enough white labs labels and you get a free vial).

    Anyone try using this yeast with this clone? I feel like it would round it out a little better. White Labs - WLP080

    All my pale ales are tasting the same...

    Any other recommendations for yeast if still doing an American Pale?

    All my pale ales are tasting the same...

    So I am having an issue of all of my pale ales tasting strikingly similar. For example...I just brewed these two recipes and they are almost exactly the same! I wanted to learn more about hop character so I did some single hops, but they taste so much the same the difference is minimal. Check...

    Spotted Cow Extract Clone Help / Challenge...Will Donate $25 to HomeBrewTalk

    Alright all you cows...here's my question. I made the Partial Mash that Wookimofo posted a while back. No major issues have came up except this... Like many other have when they brew this, the foam on the top never really falls. So while reading about the Kolcsh yeast, people said just give it...

    Extract Breakdown

    Is there a website that has some sort of a database of all the Extract's Breakdowns? When I go to Northern Brewer they give a pretty good description there of their stuff and what their extract is made of, what it should be used for, etc. I didn't know if there is a database that has all...

    Question on How Long To Wait During Fermentation

    Rycov - Yes I'm using hydrometers. And I've never THOUGHT about bottling before two weeks, and with the beers I do (1.5-1.6 tops) I've never worried about things not being done. I agree to the tasting. I DON'T like to taste until bottled, because I honestly always overreact and start to freak...

    Question on How Long To Wait During Fermentation

    Okay, so on a lot of the kits I brew they have specific general time frames for brewing...1 week primary, 1 week secondary, 2 weeks bottled...or 2 weeks primary, 2 weeks secondary, and 2 weeks bottled, going up from there for bigger beers. My question is this. Say I rush it on long stuff, and...

    Batch Sparging Idea

    Hmmmm, I haven't read into fly sparging very much. Could you explain it in a little further detail? I'm planning on brewing tomorrow and I'd love to hear about it.

    Batch Sparging Idea

    Wondering if anyone has attempted this. Im going to be doing a partial grain batch on friday. I don't have much for fancy equipment. What I was thinking of doing when it came time to sparge was to use my auto syphon and use that to get a slow pour of 170 degree water over the grains. Anyone...
