Looking for some help in putting together a recipe for this brew. I would love to make this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As i've posted before, i'm getting nothing but foam when i am pouring. I have updated my line to 12' of 3/16 ID. Beer is coming out at 35-38 F. Wont be 100% until i buy me a reliable thermometer. Ive had it sitting at 10 psi since saturday night and i'm still getting nothing but foam.

ok guys, I'm in dire need of some help. I have had a dirty bastard clone kegged for 3 weeks this weekend and i am STILL having super foamy beer. i let the beer sit initially at about 35 F at 30 psi for a week and then relieved the gas before pouring....took all the procedures into mind. However...

I have found myself in a little bit of a screw up. I went to keg my first batch, I filled up my keg with beer and pressured it up to 30psi. However, I unplugged the co2 line for a week instead of leaving it plugged in. I tried the quick and dirty way to get my beer carbonated but it just doesn't...

I had too much water in my beer when I brewed a month ago. Og was 1.067 when it should of been 1.085. I added Belgian sugar when it was still in the primary. I'm about to bottle what 1 gallon I have left in 2 growlers. I kegged my other 5 yesterday. How can I calculate my ABV after I added my...

Hey guys, I am planning to keg my first batch this coming weekend. I already have all of the equipment etc... I'm simply looking for advice and tips on what to do or not do when I'm going to keg. For example, I have a pin lock keg and I was told I'd have to purge the tank several times a day...

I have a Dirty Bastard Clone in the primary; going on it's 3rd week. It's fermenting away in a 15.9 gallon Speidel fermenter and I have it filled with about 7 gallons. My airlock is still getting some steady action. It stays suspended for times at end. Anyway, I was planning on kegging this beer...

i brewed my first all grain batch two weeks ago and it was supposed to result in approximately 5.5 gallons. however, i ended up collecting nearly 8 gallons of wort and only boiled off 1 gallon plus a few. my og was way off but i purchased 2 bags of beet sugar water and poured them in. with all...

Good morning to you all, I just recently brewed my very first all-grain batch two weeks ago. I brewed a five gallon batch of Founder's Dirty Bastard. I have an entire kegerator setup and intend of kegging this beer as my first all-grain and kegging. Anyway, I am searching for some...

Good afternoon, I just recently purchased my new 15.9 gallon Speidel fermenter and I cannot wait to give it a go! I did read some reviews on the product having sharp edges up at the mouth of the container. Mine does have some sharper edges than I would like to work with and was thinking about...

Question for you guys....I just recently brewed a Belgian Tripel and my ABV is supposed to be around 8.5%-9%... I racked to a secondary this past Saturday and took a hydrometer reading... If my calculations are right, my beer came out to 7.6% ABV. What is contributing to this reading?

I have an Irish Stout on its 2nd week in a 5gal Whisky barrel and I found yesterday that the air lock was low on water and the plastic floater was sucked to the inside tube. I filled the air lock back up with water and reset the floater. 6 hours later it had sucked the water out of the air lock...

Excuse the newb question but... what exactly is the point of the specific gravity? Rather than knowing when initial fermentation has completed? What are the perks, (if you will) to knowing the SG?

I've heard many different things about using Star-San. One being that you need to rinse or dry the acid before it touches your beer. The other being that it doesn't matter whether you pull it from your sanitizing station directly to your brew. "Supposedly," the Star-San turns into fermentable...

I am in the process of brewing my first batch which happens to be a milk stout. Thought i'd take a stab at one of my favorite types of beer. The kit that i bought suggests that i ferment to 4-7 days in the primary stage and to take a reading before fermentation has completed. Problem being...

Would anyone happen to have a recipe that resembles a brother thelonius? I would like to try to duplicate it.

Hey guys! I've read a lot of of posts on where people will have the air lock stop bubbling after a couple of days. Well, the same thing happened to me. When i was first trying to measure the OG before putting the lid on, it was difficult to read exactly because of the foam around it. I think it...
