So I have a 9 SRM base beer that is being racked onto blackberries and raspberries (20 oz even split for a 1.5 gallon batch). I am hoping for a purple / pinkish color but am scared my base beer was too dark. Any thoughts or experience? Also bonus points, has any one achieved layered colors in...

Gday all, I am a massive fan of apfelwine, and has been the main thing I've been brewing with much success. I'm a sucker for punishment though, so I decided to branch out and dip my toes into beer brewing. I bought a Coopers dark ale kit from my local store, and I think the instructions must...

I recently did what I thought to be nearly impossible. I successfully brewed a six gallon batch of English pale ale from ingredients that were several years out of date. I found the unused ingredients in an old cardboard storage box that I had put away back in late 2015. The yeast had a best...

My neighbor had this thing that he no longer wanted and claimed it was "all there". It was in a small suitcase and very heavy so of course I took it. I don't home brew and in fact only drink the occasional beer, but thought it might be something one of my sons might enjoy. Anyway, I think it...

https://homebrewingdiy.beer/index.php/2019/10/03/episode-6-the-tea-urn-brewery-with-steve-and-russ-cooksey/ One of the things that has always blown my mind about homebrewing is just the creativity homebrewers use to make beer. Whether it is out of necessity or frugalness, where there is a will...

Preferably looking for the newer model but will still gladly take the older one. Live in buffalo NY, if reasonable drive I would be willing to meet halfway or pick up. Otherwise shipping is the best option.

Hi, people! I'm a homebrewer in India. But I've been brewing Kombucha (a fermented tea) instead of beer for now. I retrofitted an old fridge with a beer tap to make a kegerator of sorts. I brew my Kombucha in glass jars, and then pour it in a used pin lock corny keg I picked up from a store. I...

Ended up at a farm with cherries for 1$/pound so I left with 17 pounds of cherries. Majority are bings which are incredibly juicy, but I also got about 6-7 pounds of sour pie cherries. I know I want to rack a sour on these eventually and also will split up some of the 5 gallons of mead I have...

That is my question. Hello all, I'm looking to get into beer brewing this fall, and I've found a wonderful 5 gallon kit on Northernbrewer for a measly 120 bucks. I already make mead and cider, so I have a bunch of 1 gallon carboys, tubing, siphon, etc. Could I in any way build my own kit for...

I wanted to brew my first beer soon. I was thinking of the following ingredients. I was wondering if I could seek some help selecting the right ingredients. Where I'm at, I am somewhat limited in the choice of ingredients. 1) Dry malt extract 2) Red Wine yeast or Dry wine yeast: I plan to brew...

For all grain brewing, I saw many tutorials which steep the grains in water at less that 100C temperature for some time. They then separate out the liquid which is then boiled with some hops for some time again. Are there any disadvantages to directly boiling the grains (instead of steeping)...
