    Can I use beergas/nitrogen on a cascadian dark?

    So, before my next brew, I'm building a kegerator. And I'm looking at pics of other peoples brews, and saw Captain Bigelows Caffrey's Irish Ale clone in all its nitrogen frothy goodness. So I was wondering, what would stop me from doing that to a cascadian dark/black IPA? Would it have that...

    So, I'm cyber stalking Rodney, the creator of Longshot Blackened hops American Black for a recipe. But I have not yet been successful. From what I gathered the style is more commonly called Cascadian Black. I'm dying to make one of these and hoping it comes out like that amazing beer Rodney...

    Ok, so I downloaded Brewer's Assistant for my android phone, but I can not figure out how to import recipes (beerxml). There doesn't seem to be an "import" button anywhere I can find. Can someone help me out?

    Still don't have a hydrometer *sigh* should I bottle?

    So, my Franzaskaner clone has been fermenting for 19 days, the recipe said to bottle it after 14, but there are still small bubbles coming up the airlock about once every 40-60 seconds. Will I make bottle grenades?

    Should I add more yeast before bottling.

    Ok so here's the deal. I brewed up a franzaskaner clone with the intention of not doing a secondary fermentation as its a wheat beer and should be cloudy and yeasty. The recipe however, said to rack to secondary after the first week and bottle after the second. The second week came and it...

    Over Fermenting

    Hello all! I'm really new to the home brew experience. I'm actually just now doing my research before I dive in. But, I have a problem. I work out of town. I'm usually home around 10 days, then I leave for 20. I would really like to brew Heff's. So I guess my question is, if I timed the...
