Help me talk myself out of dumping this brew down the drain... I brewed Founders Breakfast Stout extract version (I've done the all grain version with success in the past) and it only fermented for 4 days or so before stopping. I didn't just go off the airlock - I checked with the refracto and...

SWMBO took a job out here so we landed in Winchester a couple months ago. So far I hate it here, seriously. But am trying to make an effort to adjust, meet people, try to sort out a few decent folks out of all the ******** in this part of the country. I thought it might be a good idea to meet...

Hi HBT, I bought a vial of WLP001 Cal Ale yeast last fall and have kept it in the dark fridge ever since. I think it's "best before date" is Jan 02, 2014, making the production date Sept 02, 2013. I am making an Imperial Stout this weekend that calls for that strain but am debating as to...

So this is probably crazy but I was wondering what I can do with all this leftover halloween candy that I probably shouldn't eat and was wondering if I could melt a couple pounds down and ferment it with a brew? Has anyone ever heard of this? Are there any reasons you could think of that it...

Have a friend in Berlin looking to get into Homebrewing...Thanks.

I am in Claremont, CA (91711) and would love to plant 2 Cascade Rhizomes this year if anyone has some they're willing to give away..Thanks.

Caught the bug a while ago, learning from a friend who recently moved away. Now I'm on my own but have done 2 successful extract batches, a Holiday Cider an Apfelwein, a Russian Kvass and just did my first All Grain batch - American Ale. Here to learn and hopefully meet other homebrewers in...
