I'm currently brewing a nut brown ale kit. From a previous brew I have left over 2lb of plain light spray malt extract. I'm basically just wanting to get rid of it. Will it's flavor profile screw up the nut brown ale if i just add it to this wort? I know it will bump up the alcohol some..

Last night I cooked up a batch of Imperial Blonde. I went to check on fermentation just a bit ago and the airlock is bubbling just fine. What is interesting is that the beer is in 3 layers. I have it in a 6.5 Gallon Glass Carboy I can clearly see the bottom layer (trub) Then the beer...

So, 3 weeks and 3 days ago, I brewed an Imperial Stout. I had PLANNED to rack to my secondary after 3 weeks, and bottle after 4 weeks, but life got in the way. So it has been in my primary for 24 days. This weekend presents a convenient time for me to bottle. Mostly likely on Sunday. So...

Hello everyone. I am asking for a friend. He is doing an IPA with hops added at: 60mins 20mins 10mins 5mins 0mins He then cools the wort and then pours it into his primary (that has 3 gallons of clean water in it). He is wondering if he should be filtering out as much of that...

I am not a complete beginner as I have brewed 6 or 7 times. However, it has been a while. I am wanting to try an Imperial Stout Recipe. This is the first time I don't have "step by step" instructions. Ok I know how to partial mash the grains in 2 gallons of water. Then it says to remove...

Hello again! I just recently started homebrewing again after about a 10 year hiatus. Back then the Internet didn't have nearly as much information but I have always wanted to ask...can a person have a yeast allergy? Here is what happened. I made two 5 gallon batches of beer (10 years...

I brewed my first batch of beer in over 10 years yesterday. I basically had a kit with all the ingredients and a set of instructions. I followed them exactly and that might be my problem. After I cooled the wort, I transferred it into a 6.5 gallon glass carboy. Since it wasn't a full boil I...
