I scaled my recipe from standard 5 gallon to 6 gallon to match my equipment. The grain went up but the hops stayed the same as a 5 gallon. Am i missing something? I'm kinda dumb with math. beersmith 3.0 (trial mode) btw

If you drink Gatorade you might have seen this on their bottles... My family started a non-profit 35 years ago and we are in the running to win $50,000 from Gatorade for our charity. Can you help out and vote? It's a simple click if you have FB (won't show up in your personal feed) OR...

I used to make a coconut IPA. I used unsweetened organic flakes. I think the 8oz bag was too much flavor after 2 days in secondary keg. Be careful

lol... i guess i was worried it had been frozen in my fridge for 1.5 years or so. I figured what the hell

I made a starter last night for my 1.076 IPA I made the starter right before i brewed. The wort is now sitting in a conical, chilled down and waiting. This morning the starter had a lot of krausen after 12 hours (no stir plate cause i lost my stir bar) It's now 18 hours. Should I put...

Was going to brew tonight but I realize I only have 2 packs of American 1056... Is this bad? My local shop doesn't sell white labs English ale.

You won't taste the starsan. i've sucked like half a gallon (left blowoff tube in bucket) into a blond ale and siphoned off the top (starsan)... Didn't even notice.

....you know the feeling of accidentally stepping on an airlock barefoot... ouch!

Is it really that freaking simple?

I'm trying to rush it to be ready for a party Sunday. I set it to 30psi last night. If tonight, I dial the pressure down to 10psi for an hour (i just want to taste it and see how it came out) would that hurt anything? After that i would bump it back up to 30psi till the next night and set at...

I have our fantasy football draft in 3 days and guys are really wanting me to bring a keg. I was thinking of kegging tonight if gravity shows good. and setting it to 30psi for 2 days (sat night) and should be good sunday? It was a very nice ferment from what it seemed -- starter went off...

Get into making starters. It's kinda easy and fun. 200g dme per 2 liters water. Use Mr Malty pitch calculator (or whatever). You're prob gonna spend a little more cash but if you're investing all that time to make beer it's worth it. Ever since i've done starters my beer went from blah with off...

Hard to explain this brain fart the last 3 brews but i've been using 400g DME per 2 liter water in my starter instead of 200g per 2 liter... I can only guess that would be around 1.075ish starter wort? Anyways all 3 times the starter kicked off fast with lots of krausen (over flowed in flask 2...

I usually transfer the wort into a carboy and set it in one of my temp controlled fridges until i get to proper temp. I set the temp probe on the glass wrapped in foam. 1056. Made a 1700ml starter. I always pitch the starter at 65 into the same temp wort. Let the decanted flask sit a few...
