    Fav hop combos for a pale ale?

    Brewing a recipe that started as a mirror pond clone. Original was all cascade, but I have been trying a few different things with it the last few times. Right now, I have bulk amarillo in the freezer, and some old columbus...but any hop is on the table. I personally like the citrus and piney...

    chef alarm by thermoworks

    Anybody use one for brewing? I am looking for a replacement for my primary and backup temp probes, as they both crapped the bed recently. I would prefer to dangle my probe in the mash and wort during heat up, mashing, and cooling. I would also use it for meat smoking and grilling...

    Dirty Water Brown Ale for competition...what category?

    I have the local home brew competition coming up in which I enter whatever I have on hand at the time...this year it is aforementioned beer. So those that have brewed this, would this stand up to American Brown, or is it not hoppy enough for competition? Mind you, my visualization of American...

    what to do with leftover kegged Christmas beer

    I have a half a keg of Christmas beer left over that I would love to save for next year (so I dont have to re-brew). I dont particularly like Christmas beer or I would just drink it. But friends do, and besides, it was ridiculous expensive to make. Trouble is, I can only hold 3 kegs in the...

    time for a burner upgrade...what to buy?

    I am looking to move up from a POS turkey fryer to something that I will be able to get my water temps up faster and finally move on to some 10 gallon batches. What does everybody recommend? I am BIAB in a keggle.

    First 10G batch

    I could use some advise...planning on my first 10G batch. I usually follow Jamil's setup and do 6G batches with my keggle and BIAB, no sparge. With my LHBS standard grind, I fall right in there with Jamil's efficiencies. Going to a double batch, I have a couple questions: -Should I just...

    Mechanicsville, VA water report

    My home brew club keeps records of all local area water reports. I have attached a spreadsheet with my area only. I know very little about water, and as of right now use tap water thru an RV filter with little to no additions (sometimes a touch of gypsum if the recipe calls for it). I am...

    I ran out of time! aka brew....pause.....brew

    BIAB = shorter mash time needed?

    So, I was having a conversation with my LHBS owner the other day, and we got into a friendly discussion over mash times. He asked me how I maintain my temp over the full 60 minutes of mash....to which I responded, I wrap it in a coat or thermarest pad, but generally, I feel that most of the...

    west yorkshire yeast krausen

    check out this gooey floating mess! I was able to top crop some off and get a gravity reading, even though I had to bust thru to get the wine thief submerged! Pretty wild stuff. 1.057 to 1.012 in 5 days. A little lower than I was aiming for. Sample was very fruity tasting (pitched at 62...

    saison taste vs. belgian taste

    Hey all, I have a picky pallette...some beers I LOVE, but others, I cant stomach. The reason i say this is that I dont like ANY Belgian beers that I have had. The yeast profile just tastes nasty to me. Friends will say, "oh, but you have to try this one"...nope, dont like it! Normally...
