Hey brewers! I'm wanting to do a Sierra Nevada pale ale clone, directly from their published recipe: How To Make Pale Ale - Our Pale Ale Recipe - Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. 10L though rather than 20L/5 gallons, so have halved everything roughly: Brewfather But the IBUs shown on Brewfather are...

Hey chaps, I have a sour in the fermenter where fermentation is done, but it really doesn't taste sour at all even though pH is around 3.2. So I want to add just a little more using Lactic Acid, which I've heard can be done, but I can't find much info about it online, or about how much to add...

I'm sure I'm just trying to convince myself since I know the Brewzilla will simply be a much easier all round brewday, right? Anyone gone from one to the other, or gone through a similar assessment of which to buy?

Am thinking of this flavour combo for my next sour brew, and wondering if anyone's used this combo on a non-stout/porter and could suggest amounts? Also if the chocolate would work even if using pilsner grains? It's what I have available so want to use them up before buying my next order of...

Thinking another sour for my next batch (I love 'em, and the two sours I've done so far both rocked!). I have some lactose powder, natural maple extract, and natural vanilla extract... would some sort of dessert/pastry sour make sense at all...? Previous sours were a passion fruit, and a lime...

I've had some oxidation issues with a couple of NEIPAs I've made, so along with staying away from that style until I get a better (closed) system in place, I also want to make a couple of beers that don't require me to open the fermenter at any stage prior to bottling. First off the bat is a...

Hey brewing buddies!! I just realised I have a very short time frame before I won't be able to brew for a while due to some house sitting and temp accommodation for a couple of months, but am hoping to fit a final brew in before that starts... looking for a simple pale or red ale recipe...

This is probably the ultimate newbie question... ;) Tasted a NEIPA I brewed last night, bottled a little over a week ago... and the first bottle I opened ROCKED!! So good I had to open a second... same quality/taste/amazingness!! I am going to leave the rest for another 5-7 days to get a...

Hey guys, Making a lime & jalapeno gose, added my salt & coriander but just realised now (as wort is cooling down) that I should have ground/cracked the coriander seeds. So I guess this will result in less flavour of that than I should have got? Will I get some flavour? And can I add a little...

So for my attempt at a lime & jalapeno gose, I'm planning to add 3 mid-size jalapenos for last 15 minutes of boil, and then more at the end of fermentation, either "dry hopped" ("dry jalapenoed"?) or tincture as recommended elsewhere. Sound like a plan to try? I do want to try a little in the...

Hey brewers! Searched the forum, couldn't find anything jalapeno, so wondering if anyone has a recipe they could suggest? Jalapeno & lime perhaps, an easy one that would work? Another friend suggest jalapeno, ginger and lime... (and I have a good base sour recipe I've already used, if that...

Seems like my latest batch is oxidized, 3 days in fermenter and a sample tasted & smelled absolutely disgusting, not 100% sure what the "wet crdboard" taste is but I have the feeling this is probably it :( , leaving it for a few days just to see if anything changes... So, putting my programmer...

My current solution... ;) Dressing up my fermenter ;) by deeve007 posted Oct 19, 2019 at 1:30 PM

Hey guys, So my current brew, with a target OG of 1.077, I hit 1.060 only. My previous brew I hit both OG and volume on the nose, so it seems like it's not something I'm doing that's down to my general process (though obviously I will review that too just to do all I can). A solo commercial...

Hey guys, So going the no-chill method, have done a couple of batches this way but just "no chilling" in my fermenter, which has been fine so far but obviously risking it with the amount of headspace leaft... so wondering if anyone has a collapsible 20L/5 gallon cube they would recommend? US...

G'day brewer buddies!! Have googled a bit, and read a few threads on this forum where it's mentioned briefly, but am hoping to get some specific input from more knowledgeable brewers than I on the main differences one would discern between pilsner and pale ale as a base malt within the same...

Hey brewers! I just made a kit NEIPA, that's probably more of a hazy IPA, this one: https://minicerveceria.com/kits/463-cerveza-neipa (Google Translate if you need, though grains & hops I think are pretty clear ;) ) The "base" flavour I liked a lot, but not really "juicy" enough for a proper...

Oops!

Hey brewers, This question is predominantly about a sour I brewed, but I figure it probably applies to many fruit beer styles... I made two sours, passion fruit and a mixed red fruits, both brewed & primary fermented together, then secondary fermented seperately on the relevant fruits. The...

Hey brewer buddies!! I have a NEIPA fermementing away at present, just added 40g (1.5 ounces) of amarillo to dry hop today (a week into fermenting), took a small sample and flavour/colour seem great, but there is zero hops aroma from what was added during the boil - 40g at the start of boil...
