Hello all, I have some old all-grain brewing equipment for sale in very good condition. I am willing to parse it out for the right price. I have a two orange igloo cooler setup for HLT and Mash/Lauter tun. Both have ball locks and the M/L tun has a stainless steel false bottom. They easily...

Hello again, brain trust! Could you guys take a look at this IPA recipe and let me know your thoughts? I threw the wheat malt in there to get a Lagunitas Little Sumpin Sumpin effect. My main question is what you think about the hop schedule. Would Centennial and Amarillo blend well or should I...

Hey all, A little worried because I pitched my Wyeast 1056 smack pack into wort that was 80° F and now a day and a half later there is no airlock activity. Did I mess up? Should I wait longer? Help a brother out!

Hello all, just a quick question regarding how to use leaf hops. Other than the roughly ten percent less efficiency compared to pellets, do I add them at the same time in the boil as their pellet counterparts?

Hello all! Does anyone have a good Prima Pils clone recipe? It might be a long shot but I thought I would try.

I am brewing a one-gallon, all-grain batch of a Russian Imperial Stout recipe I created with an expected OG of around 1.10. What's my best option for fermentation? Most beers I've brewed so far I've simply pitched half a packet of dry yeast and called it a day. Help, brew-brethren!

Hey all today I brewed the Brewers Best RIS with 8oz of cocoa powder added at flameout. I also plan to add some vodka soaked cacao nibs when I rack to secondary. My question is: will this work or did I ruin 5 gallons of beer? I decide don the chocolate additions on a whim and I'm a bit worried

Hey all, just a quick question. I know the maple syrup problem has been fairly well covered here but I have a specific question: I just brewed a porter (one gallon all grain batch) with an estimated OG of 1.061 but which came out at a whopping 1.110. I assume this is simply because of the...
