My wife checked into a substance abuse detox program tonight. She said she’s an alcoholic and that she’s abusing her prescription medication (benzodiazepine). I work nights so I’m not home with her three nights a week. She was drinking a lot recently (1 bottle of pino a night) but just started...

Still had some debris despite the bottom screen. The boil was pretty good and I had no fears of a boil over. Before I bought my Robobrew I spent a lot of time reading people’s experiences and felt like I should add my own. First off, I bought the Robobrew mostly because it was larger than...

I know they are from the same company and that names are just names but has anyone used them together? I was think of making a pale ale using both and naming it Hop Gods or something. The question is would they work together?

So I made a cascade, Columbus,and centennial IPA which turned out very tasty. I want to make a SMaSH beer with one of these but which should I use? I was leaning towards cascade but which do you think would be the best?

Hydrometer sample pre fermentation. Random floaters post fermentation. I just bottled a cream ale and I noticed it was full of tiny floating specs that I’ve never noticed before. I usually leave my beer in the primary for three weeks but bottled this batch after 2 since I’m running low on...

So, I’m making a berry beer and wanted to sanitize my raspberries but didn’t want to heat them. I decided to use campden tablets but the raspberries have lost their color! They were a vibrant red but have changed significantly! Should I use them or buy new raspberries? I mashed them up with...

So this is the first blowout (more of an overflow) I’ve ever had and it seems kinda random. I have used US 05 many times in similar beers with similar gravities. I’m pretty sure fermentation temps and pitch rates were similar as well. Can it be random? Maybe there was a temperature spike? Just...

Hydrometer sample tasted okay but I totally fermented a beetle. Anyone else ever do the same? In my defense, I didn’t see it when I added the wort to the fermenter. Now, for a question about ethics, should I tell people if they want some?

So my wife wants me to make a beer with pineapple and this is what I’ve come up with. Any thoughts on the potential outcome? 5 gallons batch volume 3 gallons boil volume 20 minute boil (I have to cut my brew time due to prior obligations) 6lb Golden LME 1lb 40L crystal steeped until 170...

So, I brewed a grapefruit juice pale ale 3 weeks ago. I pitched US-05 (dry) into 2.5 gallons of wort at about 75f (higher than normal but I was out of time). OG was around 1.050. The beer fermented between 70-72. Also, the juice was preservative free. Yesterday I bottled it but I didn’t have...

So I have two small batches coming up. Well, I brewed the Grapefruit Pale Ale already but the Lemon Drop Saison ingredients are on the way. Anyways, tell me whatcha think. I put the profiles below but I’ll run through the recipes in less detail below. Also, the recipes were generated using...

So, I’m pretty sure everything is okay (tasted fine) but I was hoping for some input. Fermented for 3 weeks in the primary and bottled tonight. It looks like there is a slight film on top or an oil slick of some kind. Thoughts? Thanks for looking.
