I've been kegging for about a year now and this has just recently become a problem. For some reason a lot of my beers have been ridiculously foamy. I chalked the first few batches up to over carbing because I tried the 30 psi and shake method. I reverted back to the set and forget method which I...

So my laptop died right before my first all grain batch and I lost access to my BeerTools Pro software. I've been having to use the water calculators from brew-journal.com and brew365.com as a substitute. I brewed up Biermuncher's Cream of Three Crops today as my first ten gallon all grain...

I tasted my first all grain batch (a IPA with some toasted two row and dry hopped with cascade and centennial ) yesterday and thought it was a little off. I've brewed this as a partial mash before and this time it was a lot more bitter then it should have been. Upon opening the keg to retrieve...

I know these threads show up a bunch and I tried doing some searches but they flat out suck on my phone. So here goes. I will be in the Chicagoland area (Downers Grove/Naperville area) for a few days over Christmas time. I probably won't have time to visit any breweries due to my schedule...

This is my first imperial I've brewed and I have a few questions about it. It's a Russian Imperial Stout I brewed a month ago that came out to 10.25% abv. I hit my OG of 1.102 and fermented out to 1.025 within 5 days, and has been sitting in primary for a month now. I've also had a bourbon...

Wanting some feedback on my brown ale recipe from you fellas. I'm planning on toasting the pound of 2 row @350* for 10 minutes in the oven, then milling with the rest of the specialty grains. Just wondering if the toasted flavor is going to get lost with the chocolate and special b malts in...

Brewed up a partial mash English bitter about 3 weeks ago, and I was hoping to have this kegged and carbed by the end of this weekend for some family that's coming to town. Was my first full boil in my small 7 gallon pot, but it worked fine, just had to keep my eye on it. Also hit all my numbers...

Thinking of making a coffee porter for my next brew. Gonna do a partial mash, then rack into secondary with 20 oz of cold coffee. It's my own recipe that I put into beer tools pro, and I think it looks pretty good. Kinda going for Highland Brewing Thunderstruck Coffee Porter, but if it's not...

I kinda sorta goofed up the carbonation on my first two batches of beer. I used 3/4 cup dextrose in 2 cups of boiling water as per Charlie Papazian's recipe for 5 gal. Everything went really smooth but for some reason I forgot that you need to let them sit at around 70*F for a week or two after...

Fairly new here. This is my first batch of beer I've made outside of a few Mr. Beer kits. I decided to make Charlie Papazian's Palilalia IPA with a few of my own modifications. Here's what I used and the process I decided to go with. Hopefully you guys can see what I did wrong: - Toasted 1/2 lb...
