Looking for some advice. Thinking my cascades have a spider mite infestation (correct me if I'm wrong) and I'm looking for the best way to get rid of them/keep them away. Pictures of front and back attached.

This is only 3rd brew and I tried a lot of new things I believe I pulled of successfully so I'm preemptively proud of that. My first two brews I added or subtracted a little bit out of recipes, for the 3rd I wanted to keep the ingredients the way they were but changed the brewing process...

I've been brewing Kombucha in two 3 quart sun tea jars for a little over a year. I try to stay with the same brands of black and green tea, same sugar, same tea to sugar ratio scaled up and down as fit. Within the past few months my Kombucha hasn't been as good as it was early. I'm starting...

The weather was nice enough here in Indiana for me to try a boil outside in my garage using a turkey fryer so that's what I did. Brewing up a milk stout from Brewer's Best. I plan to primary for 2 weeks, then drop in cocoa nibs and vanilla beans soaked in bourbon for my secondary. Brew Day...

I've been reading this forums on and off for several years making Kombucha, rice wine, and on home brew technique. I'm proudly typing this post because I brewed my first batch of beer last night. It was a Chamomile Wheat recipe kit from my LHBS that I'm modifying a bit, let me know your...

I've tried the method here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f167/anyone-have-experience-ginger-beer-plant-251765/ To make my own GBP, fed it for 2 weeks, this did not work. I make Kombucha on the regular and have extra scobies laying around. Can I use a little bit of a kombucha scoby to kick...

So I just became an uncle for the first time today, as well as a god parent. This got me thinking, how could I involve beer in this (as everything does). I've heard of this before, but never got specifics. I want to plan a brew that will be ready around his first birthday to drink/taste test...

My wife and I both love La Folie and I'm thinking about making a clone. After a ton of research (including this thread: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f127/la-folie-pellicle-181430/ ) it looks like the last viable batch to harvest was 09 when it was still caged and corked. My question is...

My boss and I are looking brewing up some root beer and kombucha as a fun side project at work. He's muslim so he's worried about the alcohol content. Posted this thread for Root Beer: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f95/halal-root-beer-231045/ Now I'm looking for specifics on alcohol content...

Personal brewery, contained all in one unit, pops out "beer" in 7 days. "Kind of taking fun out of it" was the first thought that came to mind, well, that was the family friendly version of that thought. Your thoughts: Abomination to home brewing? Mild annoyance that will go away? Anything to...

While I was travelling yesterday I stopped in at Arby's for one of my only post-diet guilty pleasures, their Jamocha shake. Which is kind of like a chocolate/coffee milk shake. During my drinking of said delicious dessert I wondered if I could make a beer that tasted similar to this. Anyone...

Been lurking in these forums for a while, but now I'll finally be buying my first house and will have room to make the journey into homebrewing. Thinking about making this my first brew. Anyone have experience with it? Anything they would add/change?

Googled around and searched the forums with no luck, I pose a unique (and hopefully answerable) question. My boss and I both enjoy root beer and we'd like to brew our own. In the process of discovering how to brew root beer I found that some alcohol (granted it's only a little bit) is created...

If you've never had the delicious soda from Faygo, it's hard to explain. It's like Creme Soda mixed with a Cherry Cola. I'm looking for a homebrew version of the recipe. I've found and experimented with some homebrew creme soda recipes I've found on the net, but I'm not sure how to go out...
