I like the flavor of the golden strong and all the esters that come wiht it, but im wondering how it would taste with a little bit of sweetness, i mean very little. Any thoughts

Hi all, I know this topic has been talked about before but no one has a definite answer for it. I conditioned an imperial stout in the keezer at 40F for 6 months and it was good, but noticed that at month 8 it really started to hit its stride from good to great. Then i thought about doing it...

Title say sit all, i have a bunch, and i mean a bunch of 530, but what do i do with it besides a westy clone? Im really looking for some education here, im completely lost on this. Thanks all.

Hey all, im in a bit of a odd place. I made a kolsch about a week ago and it fermented out and when i transferred it to a keg, the wort was super super clear. So its been on gas for about 7 days and im tempted to just crack it open and drink it. Could it be ready in such a short time? I know...

Hey all, Ive been brewing for about a year and a couple months and recently started using pilsner more and more, actually for the first time recently. My question is why does pilsner malt need a 90 minute boil? And if you use 50% pilsner in a recipe does it still require a 90 minute boil...

I guess the title says it all lol. I know they dont really absorb carbonation like other beers do because of the high ABV, but curious what everyone does theirs at? Im going one this weekend and "planning" on lettin git sit on carbonation for 6 months. Thanks everyone.

Whats good guys, so last nights brew day went longer than planned and when i transferred the wort to fermenter and attatched the blow off tube to it, i went to sleep, woke up this morning hoping to see some activity and noticed i had the blow off tube not in the mason jar and just sucking air...

Ok so im a very impatient person and want to drink the beer as soon as it get carbed, like i burst carb and drink. Its never a bad beer at all, just always seems to taste better the longer it stays in the keg. So my last chocolate stout I said i would let sit for a week and did it, was a good...

So Ive been dealing with over attenuation for a while and its becoming a serious problem. I use brewfather and go by their yeast pitching rates and they end up going WAY over. Here is an example: SMaSH beer- 10.5 lbs of breiss 2 row, Amarillo 0.5 oz at 20 min left of the boil...

What is everyone using for inline C02 regulators for their keezers? The duotight ones are out till god knows when and all i see is the metal ones left? Is everyone using those for bigger keezers? I plan to have 8 gets all staying carbed up in mine. Thanks all.

Hey guys and gals, so Im brewing on a new system and a bunch of things went wrong. But wort is in the fermenter(day 3), have it hooked up to a blow off tube and not a single bubble, ive read it can take some days to take off so I opened it and saw krausen, closed it quickly and am letting it...

Hi all, I got tilt hydrometer and have had it for a couple months and decided to go in another direction. This is the new version and has not been used at all. Asking 115 shipped to anywhere in the CONUS. Please message me if you have any questions. Thanks all!

Hey guys, I asked some questions about building big starters to start a yeast bank and a lot of you all helped me a lot in finding what to do and how to do it. Thank you for that, now im stuck in a spot that i just cannot understand or comprehend. When I looked up most yeast banking questions...

I dont know if the title says it all, but after harvesting or making a big starter, can you just put the vials/preforms/containers in the freezer and store the yeast? If so, how long is it good for? If not, why cant you? Thanks guys and gals for all the help, ive honestly learned so much from...

Whats good everyone, just to be more clear, my LHBS is starting to have a hard time getting yeast or people are starting to hoard it. So I was talking to the guy there and he said just get one and make a big starter and just split that into separate vials and then when ready to use, make a...

Hi all, i just noticed they have some glycol locally for 25 a gallon and i think im gonna need about 3 gallons for the chiller im getting(icemaster max4). Is this one ok to use? https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/ideal-animal-health-usp-propylene-glycol-1-gal?cm_vc=-10005

This might be my ticket , dont really need more than 2 connections and missed the stasis preorder. This will probably get bought in may. Anyone else interested? https://www.morebeer.com/products/brewbuilt-icemaster-max-2-glycol-chiller.html

Hey all, Im just getting started in this venture of homebrewing and have been reading a lot about grain mills. I really dont like to half ass anything i do in life so i went all in with the best i can get to start this. Question now is grain mill, ive read about all the mills out and the new...

El Paso specifically. Never brewed a single day in my life but decided I wanted to start. Will end up learning a lot on the fly and im sure will make a lot of undrinkable beer but whats learning without trial and error. Got a grainfather conical fermenter a month ago and am receiving my...
