So, hypothetically speaking, if someone were to try and do something creative in a brew, but accidentally ended up with a large amount of high fructose corn syrup in their beer (say from not reading the ingredients list on something)... Let's assume this beer did not ferment all the way (no...

2 months ago I brewed an extract ESB (recipe below). After pitching the yeast I realized it was months passed the expiration date (damn lhbs!). I was a little worried it wouldn't take and would get infected. It was slow to start, but 3 days in it went absolutely crazy fermenting. By far the most...

I would really love to take a stab at Pike Brewing Co. XXXXX Stout this weekend and I can't find anything anywhere about a clone recipe. Their website lists it at a 1.073 OG 7% ABV Malt: Pale, Crystal, Roasted Hops: Willamette, Chinook, EK Golding 65 IBUs mentions hints of chocolate...

I have a pumpkin brew in secondary right now. Its developed a white skin on top of the beer, looks like an infection. In fact looks identical to the last batch that I bottled, that one had sat in secondary for 3 months, so I felt like it was probably caused by that. I think the carboy I'm using...

Before bottling I had a white film on the top of my hefe (which i left in the carboy far too long), looked gross, but from seeing pictures on here i tried my best to siphon from under it, and it tasted fine (not that good but I think its from not controlling the temps enough on the hefe yeast)...

Second all-grain i foolishly decide to also try my first pumpkin beer. Here was my recipe 10lb 2-row pale 2lb munich malt .5lb crystal 40L 1.25 oz hallertauer (60 min) 1oz US Goldings (30 min) 60 oz Libbys Canned pumpkin (60 min) Irish moss (10 min) 1.5 oz allspice (10 min) 1.5 oz...

My first all grain attempt seemed to go pretty well. I am using a 7 gallon rubbermaid MLT. There are just a few things that I have questions about. 1. I seemed to have a ton of grist in the boil and then the fermenter, i tried using a funnel and filter to remove it but it clogged the filter...

Okay, when I racked my Irish Red from my 6.5 gal primary to a 5 gal secondary i realized i had close to 6 gallons, so i racked the last 3/4 of a gallon into an empty cleaned and sanitized milk jug (with airlock fitted). Anyway, i'm slightly concerned about sitting in the plastic for that long, i...

I'm having trouble finding any sort of partial mash recipes for a hefeweizen. I've only done one PM but i'm dying to try another. I know I could just convert an all grain to a pm on beersmith but i'm more picky than that, its mostly just giving me all extract when I try that. I can only mash...

I plan on brewing my first stout in the next few days (I've done maybe 8-9 other extract w/steeping grains). I am planning on a Oatmeal Licorice Stout, as for style of stout imp, sweet, or dry, I dont know. I would like moderate ABV but probably not imp levels, maybe 6-7ish and a black color...

We just bottled an Irish Red Ale, it looked and tasted pretty good. However, we dry hopped, with flowers not pellets and ended up with hops all over the place, so we ended up siphoning it through our funnel with the filter in it into the bottling bucket. Obviously this aerated the beer but we...

Just cracked open my first bottle of my first batch of brew (Cassy Pale Ale) today. We made a pale ale. I don't have the most discerning pallet but I swear this could be some Mirror Pond or the like. We used 7lbs Light Malt Extract .5 lb Crystal Malt 40L 1lb of Amber Hugh Baird (not sure...
