I brewed up a Belgian blonde yesterday, transferred to the primary and it smells heavily of burnt or caramelized sugar. My recipe included 10lb Belgian pils 1lb table sugar 0.8lb Belgian Munich 0.7lb Belgian aromatic I added the sugar at what I thought would be 15minutes but ended up...

I'm doing an NEIPA this week and in some research have found examples of dry hopping multiple times during fermentation, e.g. adding hops just after peak fermentation and adding more dry hops once fermentation has completed. Is there any advantage to this "multi-stage" dry hopping and if so, is...

I pulled the dregs from a Tree House beer and tried propagating the yeast. I had some success but have notice two distinct layers in my flask. I know often times harvesting from a trub cake will produce layers due to getting some trub sediment but I was surprised to see that here. Is it likely...

I'm heading from Boston to Lowell Tuesday afternoon and am looking for advice on breweries to hit up. I'm heading to Trillium after landing and have thought about Aeronaut, Lord Hobo, Idle Hands, or Night Shift. Any recommendations out of those or any others to put on the list? Thanks!

I'm heading to Atlanta for the weekend and had a question on their breweries. If I understand correctly, they technically cannot sell beer at the brewery so they sell glasses for tastings? I was looking at Red Brick's website and they have brewery hours and tours, would I need to go at the time...

Short notice but I'll be in Cincinnati tomorrow night, anyone have recommendations on breweries to hit up? I noticed there's a "Brewery Collaboration Beer Draft" at Rhinegeist, anyone know anything about that? Thanks in advance!

I've got a batch of dunkelweizen just finishing the ferment and was wondering about pulling some of it off an adding apple to a secondary. Thoughts on to whether this would be a good or bad idea?

Working out the water chemistry for a dunkelweizen and was wondering if the alkalinity used for the sparge acidification tab should be taken from the finished water profile of the water adjustment tab rather than the water report. If so, would the starting water pH change from what is reported...

I have brewed a few IPA batches and they all seem to have a bitter finish to them, not hoppy bitter, but bitter. I've tried to do some troubleshooting (adding campden to help with any chlorine, decreasing bittering additions and adding more hops later [post-10mins]) but haven't seemed to have...

I have a trip to Lowell, MA coming up and was wondering if anyone had recommendations for breweries to hit in that area or Boston. Thanks in advance.

I brewed an RIS (OG=1.101) a few weeks ago, will transfer this weekend and I'm hoping to brew an IPA (OG=1.057) this weekend, too. Could I use a portion of the yeast slurry from the RIS for the IPA or will I run into issues with "stressed" yeast or off flavors? I've read it's best to go the...

I'm doing a 2 liter starter (wlp001) in a standard growler. Took off and foamed over which I was expecting since I didn't have much headspace and had the growler in a bowl to contain the overflow. What I didn't expect was that the foam ended up looking sludgy like a yeast cake rather than just...

Brewed the Left Hand Milk Stout clone found here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f68/left-hand-milk-stout-clone-139820/ I measured a SG OF 1.073, pitched Safale-05, and now ~3weeks later it's at 1.032. I understand the lactose may increase FG a bit, but even then I'd expect it to be around 1.2x...

I'll be attending GABF this year with my brothers. Does anyone have any can't-miss brewery recommendations? Any up and coming breweries from your area that will be attending? Any other tips for attending the festival? Also, will they be publishing a schedule of events and presentations...
