    ABV seems too low considering the OG

    I brewed an imperial IPA on Saturday, March 19. The beer has been in the primary for nine days and the airlock has stopped bubbling. My OG was 1.086 and I just took a gravity reading to see where it stands. The current gravity is 1.034. After doing the math, I'm coming up with 6.8% ABV. It...

I'm quite certain that my local home brew store won't take them back. Can I freeze 4 oz. to use later on a different batch? They're unopened in the original packaging.

    Brewing outdoors with propane for the first time

    I've been brewing beer for close to 20 years, but have always done it indoors on an electric stove. I finally bought a pot large enough to do a full boil of 7 or 8 gallons and a burner/stand with a propane connection. Any tips or pitfalls to avoid would be appreciated. My biggest concern is...

    Goose Island Bourbon Stout Clone?

    Does anyone know of a clone recipe for this beer. I've seen a few online, but not sure how accurate they are. Thanks in advance.
