    Partigyle water adjustment?

    Hey all! I've got plans to do a partigyle brew coming up. A Russian imperial stout from the first runnings and a dry Irish stout from the second. Basically I bought all the ingredients for 5 gallons of imperial stout (OG ~ 1.09) but realized I'd rather have part of it ready to drink sooner...

    Too many esters

    So I have a fairly new brew rig that I made and I'm still learning my way around. --A couple weeks ago I did a double brew day:a pale ale and a porter. Long story short, I should have taken a better temp measurement, I trusted the BK thermometer after chilling and then oxygenated and pitched...

    First brew on new rig, many months in making

    Pieced this together over the last 18 months. 3rd baby arrived, little time to brew, but could spare an hour here and there to install a fitting or cut a tube, etc... I've brewed in various forms for about a decade, usually in a cooler, pot/bucket or other low tech solution. This was my first...

    Just ordered my Rhizomes!

    Just ordered comet, centennial, Chinook, mt hood, Sterling and Golding. Going to pickup some 20 gal nursery pots and convert them to self watering. Hoping some burlap twine strung up to my eves (~10' off ground) will work for them to grow on. There's space for the pots on my side yard that gets...

    First Wine kit. Added too much top up water. Thoughts?

    Hi, long time brewer, first time winemaker. I wasn’t detailed enough in making my first kit this morning and stupidly overlooked that i was supposed to top up my WineExpert Pinot Noir kit TO 132 oz, not WITH 132 oz. That being said, I realized my mistake halfway through and ended up with 164...

    Kernza - New Grain

    This is the first time I've heard of it, although I've no doubt it's been in development and growing for a while. Apparently it's sweet and nutty tasting and a relative of wheat. Has deeper roots and also doesnt need to be replanted annually. I wonder how a beer made from it would taste...

    Off-Flavor's by design?

    I know that for some styles certain off flavors are considered to some degree "appropriate", but has anybody here ever tried to brew one of those styles to showcase that off flavor where it might pair well? E.G. Butterscotch Scotch Ale (Diacetyl) Green Apple Caramel Amber Ale...

    Cheers from San Diego

    Hey everybody! I've been posting on HBT for a few weeks now, but never made a point to introduce myself. I've been brewing for a little over three years now starting with extract 5 gallon and then going to all-grain. These days I brew 2.5 gallon batches mashed in a 5 gallon round igloo. I use...

    simcoe dry hop IPL - critique needed please

    Hey guys/gals, Trying my hand at my first lager since temps are dropping low and my ferm chamber doesn't have a way to heat (yet). Please let me know your thoughts on the below recipe. I'm aiming for a nice piney aroma and resiny mouthfeel. Hoping it'll finish dry and the crispness of the...
