Hello! I am going to be staying for almost a week on Bourbon and Canal in the FQ, and was looking for recommendations on three things: 1. Good places to eat 2. Good local beers to drink 3. Sites worth seeing. I have read through some of the older posts about this and gotten a few good ideas...

Gah, So typically I let my beers carbonate slowly at my servinge PSI (11ish) and don't worry about it, but I wanted to have one carbed by this weekend, so I dialed it up to 30 psi, then after 24 hours tried to dial it down to 20 psi, then intended to dial it down to 11 psi on the third day...

I was given something that looks like a hunk of root, but was called Sasparilla, I want to say he referred to it as root, but it... looks like a piece of a branch, but smells great! I want to use it in brewing but was not sure how to... Should I chip it up into pieces? Should I add it at...

Hello, Just looked in the fermenter for my first attempt at Raw Ginger Ale and saw this. Is it ruined/infected? anyone else seen this before?

Sooo... my hop vines are dying. Anything seen this before? They have slowly grown brown and the leaves dried up and crumbled. the cones are still growing as of now, but now that the leaves are gone, I am thinking the cones will be next. Too soon to harvest :( Not sure what the story is. I...

So my wife wants me to start making Kombucha, and add a tap to my keezer to have it available for her and the kids. Anyone else make Kombucha that knows about this? I have a few questions: 1. Can I use the same brewing equipment as I use with my beer brewing? 2. Can you keg Kombucha and...

Hello fellow brewers. My wife is 6 months pregnant, and I want to reward her for making that babby(its a girl!). I asked her what beer she would like me to make for her for after the birth and she said Leffe Blonde. Anyone out there have any good clone recipes for that? Also about how long...

I have about 25-30 Lbs of Vienna Malt gifted to me by a pro brewer friend, and I need to come up with some awesome recipes to use it up. I am currently making a Mocktoberfest to start it off, but still have lots left over. Ideas? I also always have 2 row and Maris Otter on hand as well. I...

Ok, I recently went through the posting similar to this for Kegerator/Keezer Builds, and was looking for one for Brew stands. I am thinking of building one/having one built, and need ideas. Also I need to just see some awesome pictures. SO, if you have a brew stand set up at home, no matter...

Ok... Brewing an Oatmeal Stout... Recipe I am sampling from calls for wlp051 for yeast. Trying to decide if I can use a US-05 I have on hand, or should I go ahead and buy the yeast. SO ...I have two questions... 1. Will there be strong differences if I use US-05? 2. Wouldn't an Oatmeal...

Ok friends, Challenge for you. I have a bunch of leftover grains from my last several brews, def enough to brew something up without having to buy new stuff. I need ideas though. Here is a list of the grains I have right now. Parameters: 5 gallon recipes preferably, but am about to...

I know similar questions have been asked before but I didn't quite find what I was looking for with the search function. Here is my Question: I have one regulator on my CO2 tank, with a splitter coming off of it to two kegs. (or I will, I am in the process of building it). Is it possible to be...

Would it be bad form to link a Kickstarter campaign for a friend of mine who is transforming his 12 years of homebrewing into an actual brewery in a brew-starved part of Minnesota in the hopes of pulling in interested parties to help support it? If not, I will link it in a follow up post, if...

Uh ohs! I am brewing a Barleywine that called for 4-5 months in the fermenter. I brewerd it, put it in the primary, for about 10 days, then moved it to a secondary, sealed it up with an an airlock, and stuck in the back of a closet, that was 6 weeks ago, I went back and looked at it now and...
