I'm starting to play around conceptually with recipes and brewing beers to specific targets and flavor profiles, and I really couldn't find anything out there on the best way to go about isolating the taste of different malts. Looking for some input on how little I can get away with, hop...

I did a 10 gallon batch this weekend. Ended up with 11.5 gallons at ~1.065. Bought one pack of HotHead, and initially intended to do a starter. It was ~3.5 months old. I've read about this yeast and how it likes to be under pitched. I decided to not use a starter, and see what happens...

Just completed a 10 gallon all grain batch recipe using the "Hoppiness is an ipa" recipe from the "Brewing Classic Styles" book. I have a 52 quart coleman rectangular cooler as my mash tun I got second hand. I replaced the mesh screen with a cpvc manifold, and created another manifold for...

After getting tired of dealing with buckets in freezers and ice water to keep my fermentations cold (until i can get a diy gylcol chiller built), I've grown interested in kveik. My main concern is trying to prevent variance due to yeast strains in recipes, and I'm looking for one that will have...

I decided to try https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/ode-to-arthur-irish-stout-guinness-clone.28239/ for my second all grain batch. I had most of the ingredients on hand, and am I big fan of stouts. I also plan on taking half of it and turning it into a gingerbread stout utilizing a...

I have two speidel 60L fermentors with all parts for sale. $40.00 each. Must pick up. They were purchased as part of a bulk aquisition from a friend who sold off all of his stuff to me. Picture shows just the fermentors, can provide proof of lids, airlocks, etc... If needed. Thanks!

So, I've been filling my time trying to learn the all grain process with 1 gallon batches while waiting for my fermenter to free up. This weekends batch ended up particularly poorly, and curious if i'm just doing something obvious. I am attempting a 5 gallon this upcoming weekend, and would at...

So, though an interesting chain of events, I wound up with this guy: https://spikebrewing.com/collections/fermenters/products/cf15 And i'm currently brewing my first 5 gallon batch in it. Currently, I just have a tube hooked up to the blow off, and the other end in a pitcher of sanitizer. I'm...

Well, close enough to Raleigh, NC at least :D ~ 20 miles from downtown I've been brewing off and on for a few years, with about a 2-3 year hiatus during the transition to Raleigh from Eastern NC. Starting out with mr. beer kits, I got into extract, and now have everything to do all grain and...

My uncle really wants to enjoy my beer, but his allergies flare up whenever he drinks microbrews, and it gets worse the hoppier they are. Basically, he can only tolerate lighter lagers well, and Red Stripe is his go to. I'm curious if anyone has any suggestions about recipes/ingredients that I...

I have a friend that recently got out of the brewing game, and I purchased his entire lot from him. This was a steal for me, as it came with everything I needed to get into all grain. and to keg (along with a keezer)j. It also came with a significant amount of base and specialty grains, and...
