How long I should be leaving flavorings in contact with kombucha for? I split my first batch 3 ways last night. 0.2 oz of hops? 1 Passion Tea bag? 1 sliced up green tart apple? all in individual 18-20oz mason jars. I did bottle the remaining straight with no changes too. Thanks :mug:

Wondering if any one who is using a beer bug is having issues seeing their data? Got a brew going and I can not longer see the the data points for it. I get kicked into current brews for other users when click my beer bug. :confused:

I am going to make a smoked stout and got to wondering if any one has cold smoked oats? Would cold smoked oats have any different character than cold smoked barley? I have found all kinds of info for smoking grain (cold and hot), coffee and all kinds of snacks. Not much on oats directly...

I need a second set of eyes and thoughts from the veterans on this one. I am beginning to think/worry the stout I just put in secondary might have stalled. I am planning to bottle this so I do not tie up a keg if it needs a bit of aging. My sample for the hydro had a lot of trub in it, can...

Good idea or not I would like to make a brown porter with no roast (or minimal) aroma or flavor. I need help from brewers here that know the grain flavors better than I do. Trying to keep things simple I found and started tweaking FATC1TY's recipe for a Chocolate Oatmel Porter. So far this is...

I brew extract with specialty grains (full volume boil) and have temperature control (SOFC). How can I reduce the time needed to condition the green apple taste down to a minimum? My fastest time is 1 month both bottle priming and kegging. This last batch Nierra Sevada is just about 2 months...

Need some confirmation if my thought process is correct and safe. Would there be any danger bolting some 2" Unistrut Channel to my existing Blichman floor burner legs? I was going to buy leg extensions when I remembered I had the material. Bolting to the existing legs will keep the...

The bottom of my boil kettle and it is hazy. How important is it for the bottom to be shinny and new?

I need some help getting set straight on what to expect with the yeast/lacto blend. I brewed this Saturday night (started at 11:30pm). I did not know what this yeast was till Sunday afternoon when I looked up optimal fermentation temp. 2.5gal Extract Batch, 2.5gal boil for 45min 1Lb Bamberg...

I just brewed my first 5 gallon batch last night and now just waiting for fermentation to do its thing. I already have a list started of areas that may need improvement. I found this site when I was looking to attempt making Apple Cider and the wealth of info just encouraged me to try...
