Lately I have been getting away from mid boil hop addition (i.e. 45, 30, or 15 min hop additions) and have been strictly doing 90 or 60 min additions and keeping the late additions to flameout or even whirlpool. In your opinion, does the mid boil additions make that much of a difference?

I've done several brews with fly sparging, but I'm getting around 67-70% efficiency. My question is, if you let all of the sparge water drain into the mash tun well before you're done sparging, does this hurt your efficiency?

I've tried rousing the yeast but nothing seems to help. The OG was 1.094, yesterday it was 1.023. Could it be done already? From what...

So I needed a new wort chiller to fit my upgraded kettle. I decided to go all out and just get quick disconnect fittings. I'll post some shots of it in action tomorrow It started out life as a simple coil... Here it is once I coiled it around one of my corny kegs. Had to get a bigger...

I just got a bunch of brewing salts and chemicals and I need some help building a water profile for a creme brûlée clone. I'm using RO water for the brew. I've never attempted to build a custom H2O profile before so I need some good info on where to start, any help is greatly appreciated.

Recently made a batch of Brandon O's Graf. I didn't let the yeast finish completely. I stopped fermentation by cold crashing when my ABV hit 6.5%. I tasted it and it has that taste when you don't let the yeast ferment completely. Will bringing it back up to warmer temps (65-70) reactivate the...
