I was going to sneek in a brew this week by using the overnight mesh method. I will be using 20% faked corn in my recipe. Does that matter when using that method? Does the recipe matter all, or can any recipe be mashed overnight? I'm looking at mashing in my kettle and I have a very low setting...

I am dry hopping a pale with an oz. of whole hops. Right now they are just floating on top in the primary bucket. I've read that, that's okay and I will sill get some good results from the dry hop. A lot of folks say you do lose a fair amount of beer though when you rack to the bottling...

I bought a sixer of these last night and was happy I did ... it's just a very clean and smooth english pale ... I read online that it's just 4.8% ABV and 20 IBUs, but I'd swear it's more bitter than that ... went really well with some pretzels ... I like it much better than their brown ... give...

Most overrated brewery? - Beer Talk & Questions - BeerAdvocate I am probably late to the party but, anyone over here read this? I personally don't see the need for a man in his position to put down so many passionate beer drinkers the way he did here. If he just had to say something (he...

I was enjoying some negra modelo last night and I want to make something like that, but I am not able to lager .... I can ferment at about 60 ambient though... could I just use a good clone recipe for the modelo and maybe use some notty fermeneted at a pretty low ale temp? .. would I get...

this new lemonade mix I bought came in packets that will make one quart ... my daughter comes up to me and tells me it's really lacking flavor ... well the one I usually get makes two quarts, so I mixed a weak batch accidentally ... so I fixed it and she said it was much, much better ... thank...

what's wrong with the college replay officials? ... they seem to have no real guts .. the last TD in the Mich vs. ND game tonight saw the ball moving down the receivers body as he went out of bounds, and the officials took about 45 seconds to agree with the call on the field of TD .. seems like...
