I was thinking of trying to make this famous French mead. It´s made from buckwheat honey and usually about 14% abv. The traditional method of making this mead it so pitch apple cider instead of actual yeast. I imagine before people really understood yeast they would prepare the must then pitch...

I'm very interested in brewing some session beers, so I've been looking at Scottish 60, and English milds. I just recently did a partigyle, American ordinary bitter out of a barley wine grain bill... Probably the best beer I've made so far, and it was a complete spur of the moment brew where I...

I made 2 batches of "big" beer, a barley wine and an imperial stout. I did nearly everything the same, but used a stepped mash for the BW but mashed @ 149 for the RIS (give or take a few degrees, but it stayed right around 150 quite well). The OG was 1.100 for the BW and 1.115 for the RIS. I...

White ale/ white ipa/ wit ipa or whatever you want to call it. Really it's just a highly hopped hefe, i prefer to call it a white ale. I digress, just brewed this and wanted to know what you guys thought about it. Probably should have gotten some reviews before hand... Anyway, I do 1 gallon...

So I normally use a cooler mash tun, but I had too much grain so I did a BIAB straight in the kettle. It's a recipe I found on here, "fresh squeezed ipa" with a little different hop schedule. To get to the point, my stove can be finicky. I walked away for like 15 minutes, temps rose to about...

I'm doing a very small batch experiment and I worry I may have made a mistake. I'm making a low ABV raspberry/ lemon hefeweizen. It sounds weird, but it's an experiment. Anyway, everything went great, the mash seemed pretty good, boil was where the mistake was made. I was distracted by food and...

I just bottled my first beer. It was young and I was eager, but fermentation had stopped. I think it's been just over two weeks since mash, though I'm not sure. Anyway, I bottled it and helped myself to a small sample... And it was... Well it was kind of terrible haha. I mean maybe someone else...

I just finished brewing up a porter for my dad for father's day. It's my second beer brew ever and I wanted to share my small batch methods because... Well I just wanted to. Since I'm relatively new and short on funds I tend to favor small batches of anything. Before brewing I made a couple...

So this is my first ever brew and I started very small (gallon growler) just to get my feet wet. I pitched about 1/4 a vial of WLP005 and had krausen within 24 hours. I had to ghetto rig a blow off tube because I didn't expect it to be that crazy. I mean it was angry and a little violent...
