I just bought new lines for my beer taps, as they were in real need of replacement, and when I measured the lines that I had prior, the numbers didn't match what I thought when I built the system. I thought that I had 4' lines, but when I measured them, they were 5'. I'm using the exact same...

I've been AG brewing for a while now, but not paid much attention to my PH of the actual mash itself. I checked the water, but not while a mash was happening. Just to start off, I want to go ahead and say that this has been the most confusing piece to the brewing puzzle that I've encountered...

So I harvested and had way more than I was expecting. I planned two brews to use them wet, but a ton more were collected. So I wasn't planning on drying, and had to come up with something fast. This is what I did, can anyone tell me if it's acceptable, and what to do next? I used a home...

see pictures in: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?p=6985368#post6985368 I laid the bines and trellis down to harvest, hopefully without ripping them out of the ground. The question is, now what? I want to promote the health of the roots for next year, and I know it was a tad...

My hops garden is being picked this weekend. I'm inviting a bunch of friends and we're all going in and harvesting the crops! Does anyone have a suggestion on a recipe that will maximize the fresh taste of wet hops? Something like a pale ale or IPA, or maybe both. I don't have any idea how...

I know there are a a number of posts on this forum about the subject, and know there are a slew of ways to tell when they're ready, but I am struggling with the process. I have 8 mounds (4 Cascade, 2 Centennial, and 2 Chinook) This is my third year on these mounds, and they have taken off and...

I want to wash and reuse 3864-PC, from Wyeast's Private Collection The beer I'm brewing is O.G. 1.085 and contains 1# corn sugar, hopefully ending at 1.017 = ABV 9%. Wyeast recommends not washing yeast on an beer with ABV over 6.5% My concerns are the ABV, and the corn sugar content. I...

So I've tried out a new technique to attempt to get better efficiency from my mash, and have a few questions about the results. The technique was to use a piece of aluminum foil with holes poked into it to cover the top of the mash, floating on top at first, then eventually sitting on the grains...

I brewed a strawberry blonde ale, and it's come out a good bit hazey (noticed after it's carb'd in the keg). I'm not sure if it's chill haze or pectin, but if it's pectin, how can I remove it without removing the strawberry flavor? 1 # Crystal 10 1 # Carapils 6# Pilsen licht DME US-05 yeast...

So I'm about to pick my second harvest of hops (Cent, Chin, Cascade), and it looks like I will have a decent amount to collect. I have had the idea of wanting to try to add some oatmeal into an IPA for a while now, and thought it might be good to ask some advice on the Recipe before I waste all...

I typically brew a Strawberry blonde ale with the following bill: 6.5lb LME Golden Light 12 oz Caramel 10L 8 oz Carafoam 1 oz Glacier @ 60 1 oz Glacier @ 30 1 pkg US-05 I'm actually doing a 15 gal batch, 3x5 gallon batches actually, for a wedding -with plans to brew it today. I...

I'm looking to brew an Old Rasputin clone, and doing a split batch between a Belgian and Nottingham yeast, to see the differences. I've enjoyed a few Belgian style Imperial Stouts, and I love Old Raspy, so I thought I would see what comes out of this brew. My question might sound dumb but...

I brewed a Tripel, with about 9.7% ABV, and have already kegged and carb'd it up. It's missing a bit of complexity that I was wanting out of the beer, and was thinking about simulating a bourbon barrel aging by adding some bourbon soaked wood. This is the first time I've attempting this, an...

That's right, not cider...apple juice. Odd huh? I helped a friend through hist first time brew; it was an extract for a typical IPA. LME, steeping grains (crystal, caramel), and hops. He came over and brewed with me, and I let him borrow a bucket which he took home to watch it ferment. I...

So I'm still getting comfortable with my equipment, as well as AG brewing in general, but here we go: I brewed this Wake n Bake Clone and used a Double Infusion, where beersmith calculated my volumes as follows: Protein Rest Add 17.31 qt of water at 132.1 F 122.0 F 30 min Saccharification...

recipe mash ended up at 162 for 1 hour. I tried to get it to target 156, but couldn't get it lowered despite the ice cubes I added. first runnings produced 2.5 gal: 1.068 @ 162 -corrected is 1.093 second runnings produced 4 gal: 1.012 @ 172 -corrected is 1.039 pre boil was 6.5 gal: 1.030 @...

I am completely new to kegging and just installed my taps last night. This is the setup: It's an old side by side Frigid-air. It has 3x 4" stainless steel shanks with a 1/4" ID holes, and a 1/4" barbed stainless nipple attached. I'm using 3/16" ID PVC Bevi(something) beer line which is 5' in...

I'm in Atlanta area and am just getting started on homebrewing and want to start kegging. I have an old fridge to convert. WTB kegging equipment, including: ball lock keg CO2 tank (any size really) regulator gas manifold tap gas and liquid fittings shaft for fridge door conversion...

I'm growing hops this year, first time grower, and first time brewing with whole cone or fresh hops. I'm actually new to brewing as of December of this year as well (loving it btw). I'm looking or some recipe suggestions for what to brew with these hops I'm growing. I am growing Cascade...

Ok, so I'm new -meaning I'm prone to the: oh noes, uh ohs, and in general have not yet adapted to the RDWHAHB philosophy (though I'm trying). I brewed a Wheat based IPA with Honey as thus: Recipe specifics: Style: Imperial IPA Batch size: 5.0 gal Boil volume: 6.0 gal OG: 1.074 FG...
