I have thought of using lemon drop hops but typically I use lemon oeel to get the true lemon flavor. I would like to use stevia because I can get the sweetness without carbonating the beer. I have liked at stevia Leeves because the flavor can be overwhelming and or off flavors. I also wanted...

Hello all, I've made alot brews primary Ale's and a few lagers. Typically, I stay away from the sweet stuff unless it's a milk stout. My wife has taken a like liken to Summer shandy (yuck). I have talked to a few local craft brew shops about making a shandy at home and the consensus is if...

ImI aware of using sulphites fir stopping fermentation, but I wanted to know if adding lemonade w\sugar would cause csrbinatioc to occur. I guess I'm looking at the csrbonacarb issue as well as the ratio to add to the carboy.

Hello All, I've looked and look for shandy recipes, but ever searched has ended with a kegged version, kool-aid packet, lemon extract, and lemonade. I have a recipe that I have made in the past that I found on Beersmith (listed below). I have not found the best way to combine the lemonade...

This is exactly the method that I use. However I have gotten to the point where my grain builds are starting to exceed the bags I'm using. I have been told I should just modify the cooler and dump the grains in but I like the easy cleanup method of just tossing the used bag and rinsing the...

Hello All, I'm going to brew an imperial Oktoberfest and I plan on indulging in my hard work when Oktoberfest come around in 2018. I have come to the point that the grain build that is being required is starting to exceed the amount of space in 1-5 gallon bag (Muslin or painters bag). With...

Hello all, I have stumbled upon a issue that I've gotten several answers. Boil dextrose at the highest kraussen point or add when bottling. I've gotten conflicting information about spores being on dextrose from not being boiled. I'm no chemistry major (though I did get a good grade in...

It's a lower end carboy that was going to be used temporary until I can get to the local shop to get a better one. It may be used as a secondary racking carboy.

Attached below is the carboy and cap.

I'm starting to brew bigger batches and this is my first go at brewing bigger batches. I recently purchased a 5-gallon carboy and realized that it has a twist top. I have also recently purchased a carboy cap as well as an airlock. I have modified the twist top to be able to use the airlock...

I haven't crossed the line to brewing an imperial, but with the help from this forum I'll probably have one done by the years end.

I've been using the Mr. beer fermenter as a secondary for small batch brews. I have moved to 5-gallon carboys. I guess I learned something new today with a biab bag. I can say I've never heard of them, but it's worth investigating.

Hello All, I've been brewing for nearly a year. I started with a Mr. Beer kit and quickly out grew it. I thought about jumping directly to all-grain kits but realized I didn't have the space for the additional parts. Rather than letting that deter me started to brew partial mash recipes...
