This happened Friday at my LHBS, and I'm interested in observations and opinions about it. Went in with my Brewtarget recipe and asked the proprietor to fetch for me 5 lbs of Briess's 20L Munich malt and a pound of white wheat (with which I will mash 6 lbs of 2-row brewer's malt) for a 5 gallon...

I'm just over a week fermenting a maibock in the garage. Temps have been up and down from 49 to 60, and gravity dropped from 1.072 to 1.016, the kreusen is gone, so I'm pretty sure it's done with the sugars. However, there's a fairly thick brown blanket still floating on top of the beer, and...

Going to do a SMaSH on Loki next weekend, and I'm wondering if anyone has any tips or tricks about working with this Voss Kveik

Go to wayfair dot com and search on bayou classic... if you need an 11-gallon pot, with a sit-in basket and vented lid, this is a good deal in my book! It's 13.5 inches in diameter and about 17.3 inches tall. The basket sits about 2 inches up off the base of the pot, so it's great for BIAB if...

Looking for some collective wisdom, please. It's my first time to dredge the cake for a second batch... the flask (2 liters) is cold in the garage (ambient temp ~40 degrees) and has striated... I'll be pitching a 5.5 gal 1.054-ish wort tomorrow afternoon. So how much of this should I expect...

This is just over 24 hours after pitching a .25 liter slurry started from a packet of 2112...

I'm not worried, but I am curious if this is normal for this yeast: I'm 4 days into a fermentation with WL565 (propagated overnight in a .75 liter starter) pitched into 5.5 gals of dubbel-like wort OG 1.074. Yesterday morning, the batch was bubbling along merrily in a closed tank when it...

Anyone ever opened a can of LME to find (a) the volume down about an inch and (b) weird tan solids floating about in it? Had one happen to me today, and I had to improvise on the fly since I was adding LME at the 30 minute point... UPDATE: LHBS swapped it without issue.

All you who want to say "I told you so," feel free to fire away. Gaskets should be good for more than one use, yet I found two bottles today that did not seal tightly enough to hold the carbonation at a level I like in my Irish Red Ale. Still tastes great, and is less filling without all those...

Confess!

Hello, all! Just joined and I'm impressed with the depth of knowledge on beering here. I found this site while investigating Wyeast 3787 characteristics, and I wish I had done that before I pitched it into a batch of proposed Belgian Tripel. I've been HB'ing on and off since the late...
