Crisis averted! My friend has some roasted black barley left over from a past batch. We're good to go!

I have no other ingredients. The recipe was for a simple low abv stout. But without roasted barley it's just a watery concoction. It's for 5 gallons. Its was supposed to have 1.5 roasted barley

Would this even be that good of a recipe without the roasted barley?

Hey everybody, I'm brewing today and discovered a problem. I was making a stout, but realized this morning that the brewstore had omitted roasted barley from my order when my fiance picked it up yeasterday. Now, it's sunday and all brew stores are closed. I'm stuck with: 5 lbs 2 row...

That makes sense, but I've seen pumpkin ales been done before with pumpkin, and those didn't get any haze. Once again, was it the fermentation temp that caused the starches to remain?

Hey everybody, A few of my friends and I made our first all grain Pumpkin Ale last month. Today was the unveiling (the bottles were finished carbonating), and much to our surprise, the ale tastes like a combination of a pumpkin ale and a hefeweizen. Has this ever happened to anybody...

Should the outside cuticle be cut off? Or should I just clean it well and leave it on?

I'm making my first AG pumpkin ale this weekend. I'm gonna put a can of Libby's pumpkin filling in the mash, and I want to put real pumpkin in the boil. How should I prepare the pumpkins for the boil?

Awesome. Thank you.

I've got an old mini fridge and just ordered an STC 1000. I've looked up mtie DIY videos on how to put it together but there is one thing that was always left out. What do I do with the original temp controller? Do I leave it in and just have it at a certain setting? Or do I remove it?

Thank you everyone. Great help!!

He lived in the southern country side, Bavaria. We'd like to make a pilsner. I'll check out the recipe list

My friend is back from living in Germany for a couple years. He was hoping that he and I could make a German lager together that would be reminiscent of "back home." He says that good German beer is very simple. Considering the beer making laws and what not. I figure that a good recipe won't...

Very helpful! Thank you

I'm making my first stout. Hoping to let it age for a while so it'll be prime and ready for this late fall winter. I'm trying to figure the best way to maximize the chocolate flavor. I've heard of cocoa powder, nibs, and cocoa essence. What do you guys think would be the best option/strategy...

Thank you very much for the help!! Ill make sure to filter with some panty hose or cheese cloth. And probly try leaves next time

When I switched to secondary my fg was 1.016 and my og was 1.05. I calculated 44% ABV I want to take another hydrometer reading but its so full of particulate that it would skew the reading wouldn't it?

I am making an ipa with mostly citra and Amarillo. I let the primary go for one week and then transferred it to the secondary. I used Safeale-04 and it was extremely active within the first 24 hours but then sputtered out within 4 days. I figured it must have done the job because I had heard it...
