    Using Oreos

    Doing a big stout with oreos - never used them before. I was planning on doing secondary - curious if you'd use the entire cookie or remove the creme? Pretty sure the cream is just crisco and vanilla so I was thinking of doing the wafer part of the cookie and adding some vanilla beans. Any...

    How to remove the bitter flavor

    I'm very (VERY) new to liking IPAs and at the moment I don't like any that are bitter at all. I'm really into the NEIPA style that are straight juice bombs (Aslin Double Orange Starfish and Pew Pew Pew are what got me into it). I made my first batch of a NEIPA and used citra/galaxy. The aroma...

    Evil Twin - Michigan Maple Jesus Clone

    Anyone have anything they tried for this? I absolutely love this beer and have been wanting to experiment with some maple syrup. Just seeing if anyone has attempted a clone of the beer yet. OR if you have a maple stout you've made that you really liked, also would be interested in this. Cheers!

    Omnipollo Yellow Belly Clone

    I was wondering if someone can assist in coming up with a recipe for this beer. I love it. I'm curious how they have such a thick mouthfeel. My guess is they have a high final gravity and lactose. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Love this beer and really want to try to make...

    Competition Categories

    Hey all - I'm usually not very good at picking categorires for my beers. Clearly I need to learn this a bit. I plan to enter a few beers into the local one in DC. The beers I'm entering are the following. I have put the categories I think they are, can you confirm? A clone of Victory/DFH...

    How do scores in a competition work? And more, of course.

    This is a very beginner question but I'm a bit confused. I entered two beers into the Blue Ridge Brew Off and got my results back. My RIS got a score of 45 and made it to the BOS judging (yet still didn't place in my category despite having 4 points more than both 2nd and 3rd place). Also, I...

    Adding sugar to the secondary

    Hey all - making a Beligan quad and I'm going to add 1lb of D-90 Dark Belgian Candi Syrup to the secondary. I'm trying to calculate the gravity difference. D-90 PPG: 1.032 Does that mean for 1 gallon it would add 1.032 to the OG? If so, would the addition to a 5 gallon be 1.0064...

    Question about filtering beer

    I recently bought a filter to clear up my beer and remove the yeast. I bought both 5 micron and 1 micron filters. My plan was to run the beer through the 5 micron filter and then back through the 1 micron filter. Does this remove anything more than what I want? Example, I have a pumpkin beer...

    Can't get below 1.040 FG

    I have been making beers for about 2 years now as a hobby. I've been adding more and more equipment to my collection and trying to get better at it. No matter what I do, I cannot get a beer below 1.040 FG. This includes all types of beers, Belgian Tripels, Quads, Imperial Stouts, Imperial IPAs...

    Question about force carbonation

    I've been doing a lot of reading about force carbonation and I'm a bit confused about one thing. I am going to be kegging and bottling a sparkling wine in the near future. I want to carb it to around 5-6 carb units. From reading, keeping it a 34 degrees and 37# over two weeks is the key. My...

    Force carbonation: leave it connected?

    I'm new to the CO2 world (well, to force carbonation). I plan to do things the 'right way' and just put the pressure and forget about it for two weeks. My question is this: when I put the keg up to, say, 10psi, do I keep the CO2 attached for the full two weeks? Or do I pump it up to 10psi, throw...

    BrewNanny - What do you think?

    Saw this today. I'm not sure I'd spend that much, but it seems like a pretty cool idea. Not really helpful if I have 6 brews fermenting when it's $250 a pop. What happens if you have a bigger bucket and it doesn't reach? Or what about blow-off...

    High Gravity beers and bottling/Carbonating

    I'm sure this has been asked but I can't seem to find the answer I'm looking for. I made a Bourbon County clone and am set to bottle after 7 months of aging in the secondary. My question is this: when bottling, do you pitch new yeast or is there enough floating around to carb the bottles with...

    Blue Mountain - Dark Hollow Artisanal Ale

    Hey guys - I had this beer at a local bar and I loved it. I want to make a copy of it but I wasn't able to find anything anywhere. Does someone have a recipe laying around anywhere?
