hey all - I'm looking to brew an APA in prep for thanksgiving . also using mostly what I've got on hand - hence the name "leftover". tried to keep this cheap, just needing some cascades/yeast - - everything else I had on hand. to generalize - I'm shooting for something in the arena of...

Title pretty much says it. Did a cali common lager, thought i had it nailed but maybe i rushed it? Definite diacetyl/butterscotch flavor. (Lets not diagnose here, though) Its drinkable, but im just not a huge fan. Its in the keg now, and fully carbed up. Any suggestions for some dry hops i can...

Anyone ever used this yeast in the mid/low 60's? My fermentation temps are pretty stable, yet uncontrolled. Looking to brew a lemongrass/ginger saison. But hoping to at least get some of the "saison-ish" elements from this yeast. (Backup plan is to just use US-05) trying to stick to dry yeast...

hey all, looking to get your thoughts on this recipe (5 gal batch). I'm trying to do a pretty basic APA, and plan on splitting into 2 batches after fermenting, and dry hopping separately. anything look off here? hop schedule look ok? or possible clashes of flavor in my drop hops? 2 Row...

just curious if anyone has thoughts on this recipe (note - I brewed this today, so its too late to change) but i'm always open to learning, or hearing input from the public so I can improve it next time (if needed - that is; looked/smelled/tasted pretty good going into the fermentor!) what I...

Lets say I keg a beer, prime w some sugar purge with some CO2 and seal. How long am I still OK to keep this keg "in waiting" for my tap to free up. (Yes, I've only got 1 tap; ghetto rigged 3.3 cu ft kegerator that I built; that works awesome btw!) Just want to make sure I keep my rotation in...

Just filled my first keg; all went well, i think- but after reading around, looks like im missing the nylon washer between the beer line and shank(door mounted tap). Am i doomed to a leaky system, or some kind of impossibly stuck connections. Guess ive got 2 weeks before liquid flows. Just...

as usual, in my life - - i've got size issues! i got excited and bought a mini-fridge on Craigslist that looks just like this one (i think i may even be this one) it was only $50, so i jumped on it - barely used and figured i'be all set to start my kegerator conversion. obviously...

Hey All - figured I'd post this up for those of us who are not in the least DIY-Savvy, but still like to give it a shot! Been wanting to mill my own for awhile, picked up a $25 corona mill and a homer bucket and here you go. (pics at bottom) Step1: massacre a homer bucket. notch...

Hey All, Let me know your take on this recipe I've concocted. I've got some Amarillo Hops that I want to feature in a Pale Ale (hoping to keep it under IPA territory). Anything you'd add/remove - change hopping schedule? Overall - looking for an easy-drinking Pale Ale, with nice hop...

hey all - - just planning ahead (thinking St Patties day) - and i'd like to do an Irish Red, but also thinking Pale Ale. so - why not a Red Pale Ale?! any thoughts - or recipes you could point me to? I'm doing all-grain, 5 gal batches if that helps; also - here is some of what i've...

hey all; obviously not brewing with the seasons here - but im getting ready to make a citrus/wheat beer (all grain - Ale); here is a recipe i made after checking out a few other threads; Shooting for something mildly in the area of "Blue Moon". some of this is what i have on hand...

After about 5 batches, and several hundered bottles of brew taking over my basement - - I've conned my wife into believing that we "need" a dual-tap kegerator for our dining room. She said "as long as you don't try to make it yourself" (very smart!) - - we can spend the money on a decent...

Hi All, Looking for input on this all-grain recipe. Not looking to mimick anything commercial here - but hoping for a solid "everyday drinking beer". Hoping this didn't take a wrong turn when I started adding things to it (ie. Vienna/Corn); I guess my thought was to keep it...
