I've probably done around 15 AG brews with a 5 gallon mash tun. This week I got a 10 gallon cooler, 17 pounds of grain, and went off to make and imperial IPA. Pro Mash predicted a SG of 1.084. It came in at 1.052. I'm not sure what I missed. Normally, for 10-12 pounds of grain i will mash...

I've been doing AG for a year and have no idea about extracts anymore. What would be equivilant or close to 10 lbs of UK 2 Row? Dry or liquid...makes no difference. Need a little extra punch in an upcoming brew and I don't have enough space in my mash tun for all the grain.

In general, when making a high gravity beer / barley wine, what is the basic difference in the process to get the higher OG? I've made about 6 AG beers now, ales and lagers, have loved them all, and I'm looking for the next step. Is it simply boiling the wort longer to get a higher...

I just bought a complete CO2 system at my local HB store. It was a Foxx kit. I filled the CO2 tank and attached the regulator. I turned the adjusting screw fully counterclockwise and opened the CO2 tank. The tank pressure gauge jumps to about 620PSI, but the output pressure gauge stays at...

Has anyone figured out a way to put their homebrews in those Heineken mini kegs and push with CO2? I have one of those Krups beertenders and would love to be able to run some of my homebrews through it.

I'm making a 5 gallon AG IPA. Everything is going well. I put it in secondary a few days ago and dry hopped it with 1 oz Cascade pellet hops. I just dropped them in the carboy after I had filled it. They broke apart and formed a half inch layer of 'pond scum' on top and its just floating...

I posted this first in the recipe section. I looked at the batch again. I'm almost certain that what I am seeing is the beer separating like a black and tan. Could the Vienna part of the beer possibly be separating from the Pilsner. It is like a 3 inch slightly darker gold layer sitting on...

I've been a lurker for a few weeks. Done plenty of kits, decided to do an AG. Just wanted to post my story and thank everyone for all the info i've gotten over the past 2 weeks. So i wanted to make a european pilsner, but quickly found out that I can't because of lager temps. Ok, I'll just...

I've made some beers from extract kits, and they've been great. I'm going to do all grain tomorrow. My question is I only have a 4 gallon pot for the boil. This has been fine for the extract/steeping kits, but what about AG? I figured I would strike with around 1.5 gallons for 10 lbs of...
