Hi All. Looking for some advice/answers for an imperial stout I’m brewing tomorrow. Here is a link to the recipe - https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/homebrew-recipe/kaos-returns-imperial-stout/ . You need to be an AHA member to view this, I believe. If true, I attached a screen shot of my...

I’ve asked about this before and received valuable feedback, but I’m going to ask about this topic again. I just wrapped up another brew day. I was making a blonde ale that I plan to add coffee beans to the keg for a couple days right after racking. Below are pics of the recipe as well as stats...

I recently purchased an induction burner (https://www.webstaurantstore.com/avantco-ic3500-countertop-induction-range-cooker-208-240v-3500w/177IC3500%20%20%20208*240.html) and plan to brew indoors, at least during the winter. I froze my ass off brewing in the garage today! My last hurdle is...

So I pulled a pint of my blonde Ale w raspberry extract today from the keg. The head was about an inch and a half and looked totally normal and beautiful. However, after it subsided, there are now white splotches on the top of my beer. It still tastes great but what the heck is this? Will my...

Hi fellow brewers! My last two brew days have involved my SG reading right at the start of the boil being higher than the recipe states. Yet, my OG going into the fermentor is below what the recipe states. These seem backassward to me. I would expect my OG to be higher than the recipe states...

I brewed a NEIPA two Sunday's ago (3/5/17). Hit my numbers and volume, 1.060 OG and 5.5 gallons into the fermentors. I had problems getting the Gigayeast Vermont Ale Yeast started. Nevertheless, it has been 7 days since noticeable fermentation activity started. Based on my recipe, it recommended...

I brewed a NEIPA on Sunday. I had purchased Gigayeast Vermont Ale yeast from morebeer.com approx two weeks prior. I paid an extra $7 for an ice pack during shipping too. Long story short, I hit numbers and volume - 5.5 gallons into the fermentor at an OG of 1.060. I pitched the yeast at 65F at...

I made cider for the first time. I bought a pouch (kit) from the LHBS. I followed the instructions. I'll also note I do all grain brewing so am comfortable with the fermentation process, sanitation, etc. I do not have a way to control ferm temps but I live in the Midwest and have a basement that...

Brewed a session IPA today that should have had a preboil gravity of 1.040 and an OG of 1.054 according to brewersfriend. I waited until just before my wort started to boil and measured my gravity. It was 1.047 after I adjusted for temp. At this point I assumed my session IPA wasn't going to be...

I recently switched from fly sparging to batch sparging and had a quick question. Before I jump into the question I want to preface with the fact I am following Denny's batch sparging process where you try and conduct two equal volume runnings that will equal the preboil volume needed...

Anyone use a BrewJacket Pro? What are your thoughts? I just pulled the trigger and ordered two as I don't have the desire for a chest freezer that needs converting. http://www.brewjacket.com/

I brewed an all grain IIPA last weekend (Dec 3 2016). Here is the recipe - https://www.northernbrewer.com/documentation/allgrain/AG-WestCoastImperialIPA.pdf. I missed my OG by quite a bit. My hydrometer read 1.078 prior to racking and recipe shoots for 1.086. I am not looking to discuss why I...

Hi Friends! Do any of you use BevCo kegerators? If so, what are your thoughts on them? I just purchased their Three Keg Commercial Grade Kegerator - Black Model:XCK-2472B and wanted to see if anyone had any strong opinions... Thanks! :rockin:

I brewed an imperial stout that sat in primary for 2 weeks. I then transferred it to secondary for another 2 weeks while it sat on vanilla beans. Finally, I transferred it to a corny keg and added two cups of Makers Mark. It has been in the keg for 1 week now. That makes a total of 5 weeks since...

Took today off from work so I could brew and truly enjoy the Bengals victory last night with a few home brews in hand. Who dey! It was pouring today so I had to brew in my garage. Bootleg or creative? Anyone else rigged up an impromptu three tier system?

Is the fact that the cap to my airlock is floating so high a problem? I filled it too high and don't want to mess with my first batch ever.

Saturday is hopefully the day for my first home brewing experience. Planning to brew a Belgian Trippel recipe I found. Any advice??? I have two 10 gallon coolers w temp gauges, an 8 gallon megapot kettle, and a darkstar 2.0 burner.
