Hey guys! So I made a big russian imperial stout (attempted a Dark Lord clone) It was in the primary for a week, then racked to the secondary on top of bourbon soaked oak, and vanilla beans for 2 weeks. I would like to age the beer a bit more, but am a bit confused. Here are my stupid...

I am going to be "dry beaning" for the first time. I do not want to cold press, since I have already used this in the past. My beer is a massive Russian Imperial Stout at 15%. It has been fermenting for 1 week, and so I was going to add the coffee to the primary for 24 hours, then rack to my...

Hello!! I just recently improved my mash tun by building a cpvc manifold. I can't seem to find any information regarding proper spacing between slots. Any suggestions? Thank you!!!

Hello Brewing Gods! So I'm doing my first 'first wort hop' and was wondering how this calculates into my boil. I'm doing a hopslam clone, which calls for a 90minute boil. So once my mash is complete, do I put my 'first wort hop' hops into the kettle and slowly siphon my wort on top of...

What diameter hose would fit into the standard opening of a fermenting bucket? Time for a blow-off tube. Apparently I had a nice explosion at home. :)

I'm still definitely a beginner, with around 10 homebrew batches, extract and all grain. I can't seem to ever get an original gravity of over 1.050. What is a good way to get my high gravity lovin' on? I just did a strawberry honey blonde ale yesterday night, and it was around 1.046. With 3...

Once all of your grain/malt is in the mash tun, how long/hard do you mix it for? I think I may have stirred mine a little to aggressively last time?....if that's possible?

Hello! In the past, when I was really new to brewing I thought I could handle AG, but had terrible results. I took a break, and really worked on getting extract down. Now that I feel confident with extract, and working out my own technique, I'm gonna venture back into an AG. Another home...

Dry-Hopping Question: When I rack this to a secondary, is it better to put the hops in first THEN siphon the beer....or siphon the beer than add the hops on top. Would one potentially yield greater results? General Extract Question: When adding in extract, whether it be LME or DME, how...

Hello Brewing Badasses, I have a few questions on the Dogfish Blood Orange hefeweizen. I have the 6.6 pounds of liquid extract, but I also was hoping to steep some 2-row into it (Good idea??). I bought a pound, but I'm not quite sure if I should use all of it? I'm assuming steeping temp...

Hey everyone, I'm going to be attempting this dogfish head 90 minute clone, and had some questions before I begin. I'm pretty new to AG brewing, and have been having some slight problems. ---------------------------------- 90-Minute IPA clone (Dogfish Head) from BYO (5 gallons/19L...

I've been searching around for a good gumball head clone, most of the recipes are from 2007, and I can't get any feedback from the users who made them. I was wondering if anybody has tried a newer recipe for this most tasty brew, or even some testimonials or guidance. Pretty much anything...

Hey guys! I'm new to brewing (which is the greatest thing ever), I've been learning on the kit batches, but I'm ready for something a little more tasty and challenging. I've looked around here for a Three Floyds - Gumball Head clone, but only found 10 gallon recipes. My batch would only be 5...
