Hey Guys, Been brewing for a while and became pretty used to the process. Just moved my fermentation to from a colder room in my house to an actual converted freezer ferm chamber. Does this control, and fermenting at a lower temp 62-64 compared to 68-72, make the fermentation take a...

Hey Guys, Made my first cider 2 weeks ago, I see that aging of 4 weeks or more is recommended...but I have seen fermentation through, hit my numbers a few days ago and bubbles have been done for about a week. I am looking to back sweeten today with some concentrate and keg either tomorrow...

Adding Berries to my secondary. 5 gallon wheat beer. Will these work? http://www.fooducate.com/app#!page=product&id=A2C2C126-DAA8-11E2-A48E-1E047F2017A1 How much for 5 gals? Looking to heat them up to 170 and hold for 20 mins then refreeze and add to beer. I read this method...

Hello all! So I am going to ask some questions I should probably know the answer to, but I need to swallow the old pride and make sure I am proceeding correctly. I have had my nitro tap for the last 10 months but only used it once and was not 100% happy with the results. May have been the...

Good morning all, I did a Dunkelweizen with pumpkin this past weekend, it is the first time I have tried a pumpkin beer. I used the Dark German Wheat yeast smack pack, and it seemed underinflated when I pitched. So I gave it a day and nothing. I had some extra Safale-05 so I tossed that in...

So I am doing my first Saison with the PC 3031 yeast strain which has brett. First question - do I open ferment this or ferment it just like any other beer? Second: I want to add French Oak chips. Is 4oz a good amount or do I need more? TIA

Good morning, I did a double IPA (my first) and the beer did not ferment all the way to my target so now I have a super hoppy, undrinkable beer. Any way to fix this? I was shooting for 9.1% and 100 IBUs and ended up around 8.2%. I tasted it out of the fermenter and it was hoppy but...

Good morning all! I recently had my tank filled with beer gas and the local guy said it is a PITA so he doesnt want to do it anymore. I am looking for options in State College, or Harrisburg, PA where I can get my tank filled with the 75/25 mix. Most places say they have to send the...

Hello all, So I have done quite a few brews this season and have noticed that my PBGravity is coming out spot on - then after a 60 min boil the OG ends up higher than expected...not too big a deal - if I need to I just add some water and bring it back down. However, when doing an IPA or...

End of month I am taking a trip from Central, PA to Williamsburg, VA. It's only a 5 hour trip but I have all day to get there. Any suggestions for places to find great beer or delicious BBQ along the way or when I get there? TIA

Hello. I have 1 can of Heady I am looking to trade for either a 3 Floyds Zombie Dust or FSW Parabola. PM me if interested. Thanks Ryan

Hello All! I recently purchased and Edelmetall Bru Burner from NB. I lit it one time and just wasnt comfortable with the design, so I ordered a Blichmann instead. I am planning on returning it, but the shipping is pricey, so I figured I would see if there was any interest in it on here...

Soooo learned a lesson today. Simcoe and Watermelon do not mix. A few weeks ago I had a batch that I figured wasn't going to turn out great so I added some Brewers Best Watermelon to it. It was a pale ale with Amarillo and Simcoe. Number one - this flavoring tastes like fake bubblegumish...

Hello All, It was suggested I move this post from the topic I was in to maybe give it a bit more attention, so here goes: I am fairly new so be gentle. ;) I did a brew a few weeks ago and missed a bunch of steps but essentially got about half of the ABV I was shooting for. Last...

So I have been lurking around here for about a year without posting, but decided to jump in. I have been into craft beer for quite sometime, but just jumped into home brewing last year. I have a 10 Gal All Grain cooler system I use. Did my first beer of the year last weekend and realized...
