I had a recipe idea for a white stout but I don't know how to get those stout flavors without the roasted grains. I going to start with a very simple pale ale recipe and then add the stout flavors through other means. It just going to be pale malt and a bit of carafoam, a touch of cascade at...

Going to be in yakima with family for a few days before heading to Seattle. While im in town I want to experience everything this town has to offer. Beer, wine, local food, and nature! What do you guys think, I found a brewery called bale breaker and it sounds legit. Any help would be...

So im getting married in a year and being the beer snobs that me and my fiance are were going to have a lot of the elements of the wedding influenced by beer. One of the many beer related ideas was to have the invitations sent in a bottle it the label on it designed specifically for us. We got...

I was in a hurry ordering online from the lhbs and accidentally placed some grains into the wrong grain bag. I ordered grains for two completely different styles of beer and cant take out the grains because its all together in one bag. So what i want to do is make beer, frankienbeer, but i...

Im want to start kegging soon and was wondering if i only put 3gallons of beer into a cornie, will it use more co2 then if i were to fill it up all the way. My thinking is if was filled all the way it would take more to pressurize then if completely full. Is this right? Sent from my iPhone...

So to start off ive been brewing for almost two years now and absolutely love this hobby. I especially love how great my brews have been getting as of late because of improved processes. Now that ive gotten my brew day down to a science I want cut down on the cost a little by cutting down my...

I don't know about the rest of you but I love a few good brews while I'm sick. I don't take medicine at all I just let it run it's course, but I was thinking is this the best idea. Right now I fell like crap and my first though was I need a beer. Does anyone else does this and am I making...

So I'm still an amateur when it comes to brewing but I think I have a good amount of knowledge so far. I've made barley wines and Russian imperial stouts that have came out great but never made an high alcohol Belgium beer. I don't have the best temp control so I want to know what's the best...

So I brew a stone levitation ale clone and it tastes great but I'm getting a strange plastic flavor from it. I have no idea where this could be coming from. I don't filter my brewing water and just use what ever I get from my tap. I also fermented in a bucket. I know lots of people use them...

So I started my first cider about 5days ago and I guess I really didn't think it though all the way. I'm only doing a one gallon batch of this stuff and really don't want to waste to much of it taking gravity readings. How long does it usually take to get to finally gravity. I'm using an...

I wanted to make a simple beer while I wait for my bourbon maple oak aged barley wine conditions (and probably going to have to need to have make a couple more batches). So I drove to my LHBS which is like 45 minutes away. I don't mind the drive because there is a great thai place right around...

So I brewed this beer last Friday and I'm a little scared that I mashed to high. I was trying to get to the mash temp of 157 and ended up right at 160 for a little while. Probably 5 minutes total. I was trying to stir as much as I could to bring down temp but it just wasn't dropping fast enough...

Just got a new brew pot that I will be using and wondere if I could possible use the pot as a mash tun also. It's a 10.5 gallon pot and has a ball valve installed with a thermometer. It also came with a torpedo screen on the ball valve. So my question is... 1. Can I use the torpedo screen as...

I've bottled a batch of my mango wheat about a month ago and the yeast is not settling down to the bottom after refrigeration. It's been in the fridge for three days now and there is a noticeable separation between where there was yeast and where there isn't now. Anybody else notice this...

How long can I store about 4.5 gallons of wort without pitching any yeast into it. I brewed today and was planning on pitching some washed yeast that was in the fridge for about two weeks I normally make a starter before but I didn't plan ahead and decided to go ahead and pitch the washed yeast...

I've been brewing a mango wheat beer and I'm very excited about this one. This will be my most ambitious beer to date. It's my seventh beer so obviously I'm a newbie. Since I've started brewing I've been on this site 24/7 and have been soaking in all knowledge that you guys throw around this...

I'm in the process of making a mango wheat beer and need some advice from you guys. I have 10 pounds of cut mangos that I froze and is now thawing out. I was planning on placing the mangos in my secondary and letting it completely ferment out, but after reading another post on this site I'm...

So still kind of new to brewing but I have made 5 batches already. Some were great others were not so much but all in all I've made some good beer. I have started biab an have made the summer citrus wheat that is on the forums here. I loved it but now I want to change up the recipe a little...
