Hi everyone, My question is in two parts I guess. i am a homebrewer in Denmark, and I would like to make a cream ale for summer (my brother in the US raves about them). My problem is American malt is not available here, especially something like six row. Is there a substitute or something I...

Hi I have had my kegerator for about two months now. I love everything about except that I am having some off flavors from the beer that sits in the inner lines. I have a full size fridge with taps through the door type setup. Two perlick taps with about a meter (three feet or so) of beer...

Hi I just got some used corny kegs from a local brewery here. I was told they had been cleaned before being put in storage, so they should be good to go. Well surprise surprise I opened them and they were disgusting. I broke them all down and started cleaning today. The worst of it is that...

I am making my first few batches with liquid yeast so I am not 100% sure if this is normal. I got a vial of WLP001 California ale. I made a starter and when I went to pour the vial in nothing but the suspension liquid came out and all the yeast was a big gloppy solid mass. Had to pour some...

Can't find simcoe but for some reason the webshop has citra. Would that be a decent substitute? Is it a good hop for an...

Hi I would like to do a series of single hop IPAs in the new year. Does anyone have a good basic recipe they have had success with? I really want the hops to be the star as I want it to be a way to get better acquainted with the different flavors and so forth. Thanks in advance.

Hi I am a relative beginner to homebrewing. Done a few full extract, and extract with specialty steeping grains on my own and helped out with a few partial mashes. I want to try out my first partial mash for a black IPA. I found a recipe that looks nice but I have a problem understanding the bit...
