How long do you allow the beer to age before you call it a wash? I have my first personal recipe and first all-grain batch at that. It has been aging for about 5 weeks. My first taste, at 2 weeks in bottles, was watery/yeasty. After taking advice from the boards, I allowed it to sit for...

Alright, so I finally cracked open my first bottle of my first AG batch. It is supposed to be an American Pale Ale. The color is nice, somewhat darker than I thought it would be... but still good color. Smells like a beer, almost a very winey smell to it. On first taste it tasted very light...

I am just curious... what are the Pros and Cons for these two items? I am thinking of getting a refractometer, but before I do so I want to see if it will be worth my money. If it is worth my money, what kind should I get? Thinking about looking on eBay for one.

Hey everyone... before I purchase my ingredients and brew this recipe, I wanted to make sure that I'm not way off on this recipe. If anyone can give me any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it. This is my first recipe and so I'm fearful that I am not actually creating a recipe for what I...

I have been trying to formulate my own recipes and have been struggling to determine which hops really go with certain styles of beers. Are there any charts that show which hops tend to show up in each style of beer? Thanks!

Brewed a Mackeson's XXX Stout clone for my buddy today. I am getting frustrated... the past couple kits that I have done I have missed the OG by .01 or more. However, it always ends up that I miss the FG by .01 or more also. So it isn't like I'm totally botching it, it's just that I end up...

So as I'm getting more into brewing and hoping to brew a lot more this year, it brings up the question in my mind... which is more cost effective? Natural gas stoves or propane outdoor burners? I currently have a natural gas stove, but I am just trying to see if it is going to be more...

Ok, so I'm looking to create my first recipe and also looking to get into the world of partial mash brewing. I have been rolling on extract brewing for a little while now and I really feel comfortable with my process and my sanitation. My questions are... Where/what can I use to learn base...

Ok, so I haven't brewed in about a month or so. Lots of stuff has kept me from taking the time to do so. However I have had my AHS Northwest Cascadian Dark Ale recipe sitting in the fridge/freezer for a couple weeks now and I don't want it to have to sit there any longer. Here is my situation...

Well, I popped open a bottle of my AHS Holiday Ale. This is how it went... Very little carbonation. It has been conditioning for 13 days. The carbonation was just a bit light for my taste. Made the pour rather flat looking. The color was slightly lighter than Coca-Cola and there was very...
