I have an American Stout recipe I've been brewing for years. It includes chocolate malt. However, in putting this recipe into brewersfriend, the addition of the chocolate malt takes it out of 'style'. I'm a bit perplexed. I'm going to enter this into a competition under American Stout, but...

Just curious if there are any beer judges in Cincinnati that would be willing to give me honest feedback on some of my brews. Any help wold be greatly appreciated.

I just picked up a 6er of this today at the local beer shop. I gotta say, either my taste buds have changed, or White Rajah is just not as good as it used to be. I believe it to be the latter. I distinctly remember about a couple of years ago there was this bright, vibrant grapefruitastic...

Disgusting .. thoughts?

Is it just me or does any beer I drink that has Cascade hops impart a 'soapy' taste? This isn't to start a slam on Cascade hops, just to spark a discussion. I am very well aware that everybody has subjective tastes, but I am just wanting to see if there is anyone besides me in the same boat...

Finally got around to assembling my MM2 I got for Christmas. Bulk grain, here I come!

Will I be able to make it work for a 10 gallon batch? I usually mash @ 1.5 qts/gallon. That would be 9 gallons of strike water. Suggestions?

Let's brew! So excited I can now do 10+ gallon batches with the new additions to the rig! Just can't wait to use it.

I'm not sure there may be any correlation, but would fermentation temperature and yeast attenuation be closely tied to each other? For example: I have brewed many, many batches, with different mash temps ranging from 150*-156*. In using S-04 and US-05, fermenting starting at 59*, ranging up...

I am starting to have a some 5 gallon batches of my IPAs, all the same grain bill but using different hops each batch, turn into IIPAs due to 83+% yeast attenuation. I am using Safale US-05 for all of the IPA brews. I am starting to dial in ~75% mash efficiency, which is awesome. Setup...

I just wanted to share some tips that have helped me achieve higher efficiency with each brew batch sparging, the latest being 80%! It's taken me ~10 brews to achieve this through trial and error and a boatload of reading! I'm just trying to save you some time. My equipment consists of a 10...
