I've come up with a technique to create similar results to a hop back which I can't do with my BIAB setup. The idea is to put hops in a bottle with 85 degrees Celsius water, seal it up and chill it down as fast as possible. (you could use wort as well). I know it's similar to a hop tea however...

Has anyone added a wine to a beer after it's fermented? It's a hard thing to search for as I get a lot of wine or beer results. I was thinking about Pinot Noir & Porter or maybe a Sauvignon Blanc & Nelson Sauvin Pilsner. Just adding 1-2 % abv increase via the wine, what ever volume that would...

Hi, I'm looking for some feedback on this recipe, I may replace the Willamette for Simcoe or Amarillo if I can get them but feedback on how it is currently would be appreciated? Am I just wasting hops at this level? (Sorry about the odd measurements, I build it in Metric but figured I'd get more...

I'm all grain brewing, and when I throw the hops in at the start of the boil they cause more, I guess you'd call it head, foam to form and then a lot of hop sludge appears and gets stuck to the pot then the foaming recedes and leaves all that hoppy goodness there, do I have to scrap it back in...

I'm not looking to discuss why I need should/shouldn't repitch before bottling as 1)that's been discussed a lot already and 2)I have had one beer fail to carb after 4 months and I don't want to waste my time with that again. What I do want to know is when do I add the yeast? I bottle...

I just gained the ability to do full 5 gallon all grain batches. I've done 1 gallon with 1-2 grains and 5 gallon partials but now I can do BIAB up to 5-6 Gallons Now my question, I'm a bit of a weirdo and so for my first brew I want to make a bizarre mix of heaps of different malts. I want to...

Firstly I can currently only do approximately 2 Gallon mash/boils BIAB so for my previous brews that have required more grain than that setup handles I've just split the grain and done one after the other but I've always done the same hopping procedure or been using a prehopped malt extract so...

After looking at a couple of recipes for cock beer, I don't think it works well with todays chickens, they don't have the flavour you would have got with the old cocks that would live longer, eat more variety and be darker meat, and I think that's why most people find it only OK to terrible. (I...

I've got a few brews under my belt and have just started a beer I call RIOTS (Russian Imperial Oatmeal Treacle Stout), it's a partial as I needed to mash the Oatmeal with grain. In the process I tasted the Oatmeal and Pale Malt wort and it was quite tasty, has anyone tried putting Oatmeal into a...

Hey, I was wondering if anyone had tried a brew with only chocolate grain and some hops? I'm giving a small batch a go at the moment but was keen to know if anyone had some feedback on what to expect. Also are there any other single specialty grains you would try? (100% peated malt is on my...
