Hi everyone, After being gone for a while (other projects) I've decided it's time to get back to doing some brewing. I have a stout kit I got a while ago I need to use (gonna snag some fresh yeast) and I also have a few bags of whole leaf hops my GF bought for a project a while ago as well...

Greetings everyone, I'm back after a long break, and back with new plans. I've been brewing beer for about 2 years now, I've had a number of successful batches of beer. However, I've been following a strict diet that does not allow beer but would allow a glass or two of wine in an...

Greetings, I never posted about this one. This is my xmas gift to friends and family. It's a Brewers Best Cream Ale. I am giving away 4 pack carriers with these. I'm going to (hopefully) put together a label for the bottles and also a label for the carriers. I'll post pics if I remember to...

Just saw this commercial while watching southparkstudios.com.

Greetings everyone, Started my first stout tonight. Followed this recipe https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f68/milk-oatmeal-stout-182975/ and so far so good. I lost a LOT of volume during the steep/boil because of the oats and steeping grains. This is also my first brew using just tap...

Greetings great brew science folks, I have a question I hope you can help me with. For my beer I have been buying bottled water because my sink water doesn't taste so great. The issue is that buying bottled water every brew day is getting kinda pricey and inconvenient. Also the city uses...

I have a buddy who has voiced some interest in brewing so for Christmas I decided to get him a Mr. Beer kit. Now say what you will about Mr. Beer, but it's a great way to get someone into the hobby and learning the basics. I started with Mr. Beer and made some decent beer with it. I think he'll...

Just thought I'd share since I just finished up doing this. I have 3 cases of bottles in need of a good once over washing/sanitizing (because I always sanitize bottles after washing em, whether I'm bottling right away or not). Just took care of 1 case and will do the remaining 2 later on...

Greetings, This is my first recipe I've ever played with so be nice :p. Decided to play around with hopville some today just because and put together a Milk Stout with bakers chocolate added (I saw this done and it looked interesting and I want to try it). Recipe is below, I'm sure it...

Greetings everyone, I decided to give yeast washing a try cuz, why not? I took 4 jars, boiled them, cooled, added the boiled water to the fermenter swirled and dumped into the jars. Let em sit over night and saw good separation and a distinct 3 layers. I'm a little confused at this point (I...

Greetings Everyone, Hope you are all well. I am working to troubleshoot an "off" flavor in my most recent beer. I'll give you some history first though. I brewed a brewers best summer ale back July 22, 2012 (thumbs up for record keeping!) Due to certain issues I didn't bottle this until...

Found a couple kegs for sale and wondering if they're worth getting. They are the kind of keg you get at a store when you order a keg of beer. (I'm new to gets, so forgive me) what can these be used for? Thanks!

Greetings everyone, Hope all is well. I've been MIA for a while. I had a beer that I more or less forgot about and left in the fermenter for about 3 months (oh snap!). I bottled it the other day and noticed that the bottom of the bucket had discolored a bit. Not like the normal discoloration...

Hello everyone, So i started my first brew a few weeks ago (see https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/first-real-brew-irish-red-ale-317959/) and I am 8 days into bottle conditioning. I finally decided I wanted to try one this evening just to see where it is. I am pleased. The smell is...

I know I know, I just posted about brew two on Saturday. What can I say? I had the day off and decided I wanted to get this one going. We have the Black Dog Ale started here. Followed the recipe in the process, so nothing really fancy about that. I pitched the yeast into a jar of 90 degree...

Howdy everyone, I started my second brew today. It's the Liberty Cream Ale from Midwest. All seems to have gone well with it. I followed the directions that came with the kit so nothing fancy there. I also ordered a grain bag and that was certainly worth the 5 dollars I spent! Almost wish...

I'm a Linux Admin by day so I tend to look for open source software for most anything I am doing. I found a piece of software called brewtarget I plan to throw on my linux box and try out. Anyone else messed with it? Sounds like it's made for linux, mac and windows OS. Link for any of those...
