I kind of feel the same way, the reason im into home brewing is to make a strong beer with a rich flavor that is hard to get at any normal grocery store. The blonde ale came with the kit that was given to me as a birthday present. I made the Epa because i dont enjoy the hoppyness that ipas have...

After i add priming sugar and bottle my beer (and 2 weeks has passed) does it matter if i refrigerate the beer or leave it room temperature? Does it matter if i refrigerate it and then take it out and leave it at room temperature again? Reason i ask is because im bringing some beers to...

yeah im not as worried now that i did the actual calculations based on the dme. My local brew shop reccomended the pilsen dme, because he didnt have the laaglander or because he thought it would be closer to the taste i dont really know. He has a degree in brewing though so i trust him, and i...

3 gallons in the pot. I was a retard and decided to boil it first to sanatize then i remembered it would boil when i did the hops anyways. It was around 180f at that point so i let it cool to 154f. Then i put the grains in for 45 mins, the temperature stayed within 4 degrees either direction...

Ive thought about this before, i literally shook the thing before i pitched the yeast. Yes it was a partial boil. The way i did it was when i bought the carboys i bought 5 gallons of water and filled the carboy, i then marked the water line. When i add water i fill to this line. This is by eye...

Yeah there is an equation i used with the fg and og readings. It was in primary for a week, i moved it to a seconday and left it there for almost 3 weeks. Usually i do 1 week primary 1 week secondary 2 weeks in the bottle. I also poured a glass a few days ago and its really cloud, i think...

Ive done 3 batches of beer now, a blonde ale, english pale ale, and fat tire clone. Each of my batches has had a lower abv than intended. For example the fat tire clone was right around 4.0% abv at bottling, and i waited an extra week and a half to see if i could get anymore out of it. Not sure...

i read that blueberry is a good pairing with pale ales. Because this is my second batch i think im going to just try a plain english pale ale so that i have something to compare it against.

Hey all, i brewed for the first time last month and am now enjoy a nice batch of blonde ale, i have a bottle in front of me this very moment. For my second attempt i bought a bpa beer kit and am thinking about adding some stuff so it has a "unique" touch to it. I got a bpa kit in specific...
