    Hip hop and such

    Seeing as the punk and metal threads have lived on for quite some time I'll give this a shot. I recently came across a thread on reddit about rappers that people thought were "wack" but then came to like, Danny Brown was the top reply so I checked it out. And it was good. :mug: So I'll start...

    Looking for inspiration for a 13 gal carboy

    I got a call from my mother who was helping a friend clear out their garage or something. Anyway she wondered if I was interested in a (free) 13 gal carboy, of course I was, now i'm just wondering to do with it. Initially my thought was to brew two ~6 gal batches of a simple plain lambic...

    Only brett contaminates the wood?

    I'm going to start a Flanders Red tomorrow, using the roselare blend and perhaps a geuze dreg or two (add them in secondary or in primary?). I'm going to go the oak dowel way (except my dowel is juniper). My question is about what stuff the dowel gets infested with, is it only brett or does...

    Correlation between Alpha Acids and flavor?

    Pretty straight forward question, does an ounce of hops impart the same amount of flavor regardless of AA%? Excluding the extra bitterness from higher AA hops that is. Assuming that's true, which my gut tells me, switching to lower AA hops and upping the amounts would give more hop flavor...

    No access to rice hulls, what else?

    I've found that rice hulls are kind of hard to find, so what else can you use? I've read that cutting up straw and mixing it in could have some positive effects. But i dont think i'll find any of that until christmas atleast.

    Some questions about First Wort Hopping

    Wasnt sure if this should go in the beginners forum but anyways. As far as i've understood the concept you move a portion of the hops (30% of total hops are recommended?), more specifically the 15 min addition, to be added to the wort as you start draining it from the mash tun and then boil...

    New brewer from the country of Honor and Heroes, Sweden.

    Figured I'd do an introduction as well. The thought of homebrewing came into my mind a year or two ago, so I started saving bottles to use later on. Altough I lived in a nasty corridor (fungae in shower room, silverfish and so on) which I shared with two exchange students, so I gave up on the...
