I have a recipe that involves some LME, some DME, and some corn sugar. I got all my malt extracts dissolved and started my boil. Ten minutes in, after my first hops were added, I realized that I forgot to add the corn sugar. I mixed it in real quick and just kept going. Now I know I likely...

So I have an idea on my head to make an apricot cider with black cherries and cinnamon. If I were to adapt a basic cider recipe, could I replace apple juice at a 1:1 ratio? If not, what works better? My wife can't drink beer, so I want to share my hobby with her in a way that won't make her...

So I've been using Brewing Assistant on my Android for quote some time now and I've recently gotten myself an iPhone 6. The same app that was free on Android is $1.99 in the Apple App Store. Does anyone know of a similar app that's also free, or am I stuck?

I just made an almond porter. The base porter recipe I used was pretty solid, but I haven't had the finished beer yet (it's bottle-conditioning as of right now). A friend suggested a hazelnut butterscotch porter, which sounds amazing, and I can use the same base recipe with different extracts in...

So, I'm trying to get a speed brew together, and I want to see what anyone has to offer. Here's the recipe: Fermentables: Munton's Extra Light Liquid Malt 7 lbs. American Crystal 10L 1 lb. Hops: Williamette (Usa) 1 oz. @60 min. Yeast: Safale US-05 Ale Yeast Misc. Yeast Nutrient...

So I had an idea to make a good tasting extract beer for as low a price as I can manage. Here's what I came up with. The price on Northern Brewer came out to $21.85, not including the 1lb. of Brown Sugar. How does it look? Are there suggestions to make it better? Cheap Mild Ale Type: Extract...

I'm going to be brewing an Irish Red. I am going to be throwing in some (about a half pound of) honey. I'm curious what variety of honey I should be using. and how it will affect the flavor. I've narrowed it down to either clover or wildflower. Clover seems like an obvious choice, since it won't...

So I'm trying to put recipes together, and I decided it might be fun to try a theme, and since I just finished watching Dexter, why the hell not? Now, I know what you're thinking, and no, I'm not going to brew something that has a bitter and disappointing finish. Thinking about staying true...

So I'm planning some big beers in the future, and I'm curious how much volume is the threshold. For example, if I'm working with a 5 gallon recipe, how much extract can I add before there's a concern it won't fit in my 5 gallon pot?

I'm pretty sure the lid on my primary fermenter bucket is loose. The reason for this is that it's my second batch in there, and I'm getting zero activity in the bubbler airlock. Now, before anyone jumps on the 'get a clear carboy' wagon, I have one that I'm using for secondary. What I'd really...

Would this damage my beer? If, let's say, I had to take a break during my brew, and couldn't start the boil right away, could I leave the steeped wort alone for a bit until I could start the boil? This could define how I handle my brew day.
