Hey everyone, I'm doing a wild ale with fresh wild blackberries. I made my wort, through a few pounds of wild blackberries in the wort, let any natural yeast, organisms, etc. do it's thing, ferment and sour. Had some nice lacto built up. Did open air fermentation for about 4-5 days. O.G. was...

Hey everyone, need some emergency help. I have a competition that I'm submitting my Hazy IPA for. It's a wort challenge so I don't have any information on water quality, but it's a base water used by the brewery. Part of what hurt me on my score last year was that it had some tannins present. I...

I have scoured the internet and the forums. I'm trying to figure out, what is the best dry hopping temps? In my current situation, I have a hazy NEIPA going, and I'm trying to make sure I extract all of the best citrus notes, flavors, and aromas that I can. 1 site says cold crashing temps around...

Does anyone know if there is such a thing on the market? I'm looking to convert what I already have into electric, so I'm looking for essentially a threaded heating element. Something I can just thread into an existing 3/4 thread I have on my keggle. My other hopes is to find one that's 1500...

Need some input if possible please, I pitched some Lacto in a kettle sour I am doing. The initial pH was around 5.0-5.2 (using pH strips as I don't have a meter yet.) The pH as of yesterday was about 4.0, and my target I would like to get to is 3.5-3.3 I plan to check the pH when I get home but...

Like the title states, I bought their false bottom and am trying to set it up. Has anyone else purchased it? I'm trying to figure out how the pickup tube connects to the false bottom and whether the barb goes below the the bottom or above

ok, I have scoured the internet and can't find the info I'm looking for. I'm planning on brewing an Imperial Stout that I will be barrel aging in a bourbon barrel. I have done a lot of research but the only info I'm not 100% on is storage temp. I understand the science in what happens with the...

Alright, previous keezer I had that was free to me finally kicked the bucket, and luckily grandfather had a spare chest freezer that he gave me. The previous keezer was already built when I got it, so going into actually building this one I have questions. 1. Thoughts on tossing the lid and...

Ok, so I'm a beer brewer but want to take a shot at wine. I picked up 2 large containers of Ocean Spray 100% juice cranberry juice. I measured the gravity of just the juice which came out to like 1.048. I added 1 cup of sugar to 30 oz. Of juice in a pot, warmed it up and mixed it. Measured the...

So, searched on here, but never really got clear information as it would pertain to my current situation. There's a guy selling Jack Daniels used barrels near by. Now I did ask if they were actual barrels used to age the bourbon or barrels made to look like them that were meant for decoration...

Have an oatmeal stout (oatmeal peanut butter stout to be more specific) that I brewed, i dumped trub and all into 2 separate carboys. I have approximately 6 gallons of wort and trub in one and approximately 2.5 gallons in the other. My wort temps were right around 66 when I pitched the yeast in...
