Hey all!! Technical question here. Has anyone used hop substitutions? I'm working on a bill for a Hophouse 13 clone and theres a severe shortage of Galaxy and Topaz here in Norway. I'm seeing on a table PDF I downloaded online from Warwick's that Citra, Amarillo, and Centennial is a good...

I've heard several times that buying bottles for packaging are only reusable about 3 or 4 times. Is this true? And why? From a physical sense, I just dont see how the condition of glass can deteriorate over times from home brewing use. If we can reuse glass carboys multiple times and are...

What's better? Glass Carboy, or PET Carboy? Ready to invest, but want the pros and cons of both. I trust y'alls opinions far more than what I see on the interwebs!

I'm thinking of doing one more batch of beer from pouch, and adding some of my own touches. My fiancee has access to some damn good java beans (fresh), and I have some cacao nibs ordered from a local supplier. I'm ready to branch out, sort of and do some trials of my own!! If I brewed some...

So I packaged my first batch almost 2 weeks ago and my co-brewer is coming Saturday for a visit before he takes off to Greece for a week and wants to sample our beer. It will be 2 days early (by conditioning standards), but will it hurt to open one a few days early? It's a Chocolate Ale, brewed...

Just finished up brewing batch #2, and 3!!! They're in the brew room and coming along nicely!! Brewed a Bavarian Wheat, and a Simcoe IPA. The Bavarian wheat is already burping after about 2 hours in the fermenter, and the IPA is showing pressure, but no burps yet. I love this new hobby!! In a...

I have a 15 liter brew kettle, but want to progress to all grain for brewing. Is it essential to have a bigger kettle, or can I make it work with the 15 liter?

Hey all!! I'm fairly new to this thing, and just finished packaging my first brew!! This new endeavor is so fun! I'm currently living in Norway, but am from the states, and am pursuing home brewing here. I used to drink Shake Chocolate Porter in the states and am looking for a clone recipe with...

So, I packaged my first brew today and used corn sugar. I noticed when I boiled the solution, after bottling all 23 liters there was a thin layer of sticky sugar on the bottom of the pan that wouldnt rinse with just water. Is this going to affect the bottle conditioning?

Hey all!!! I'm a new to the game and recently brewed my first batch of beer!! Its an extract from Mangrove Jack's that I bought from a local supplier. It's been fermenting now since the 9th of August, and went crazy the first couple days. Withing the last 2 days it has almost completely stopped...
