Hi there. This weekend I was going to attempt to brew a NEIPA for the first time, and from what I've gathered, water is very important for this style. I have no experience with building water but Ive read up a bit and managed to get a water report for my city (Murrieta, CA). I'm a bit...

So brewed my first extract beer a couple days ago, mostly everything went well aside from some clumping from the dry extract. Also, completely forgot to pick up a hydrometer before the LHBS closed. But the real problem I have is that I added 6 of 9 lbs of the extract with 15 mins left in the...

Came up with this recipe for my favorite dark ale, the good ol Milk Stout. If all goes well this will be brewed at least by the end of the month, but before that I wanna make sure I'm not missing anything. Never brewed a stout before so if there's anything wrong with this recipe please let me...

Wondering if anyone east of the West Coast would be interested in a trade for this beer. It's a beast, I've had a bottle already, and it lasted for a couple days though (at 18.9 ABV, it's wise to share or drink over a few days if you can find a way to preserve the carbonation) on the last day...

Ok so I am currently set up for 3 gal BIAB. Im okay with that, as I like the size for more variety and experimental brewing. However, Im certain there will be times when I want to brew a 5 gal batch, maybe for a birthday party or something. There's no way I can brew a 5 gal batch since I have...

So I'm going for something simple for my first brew on my own setup in a couple weeks. Just wanted to get a solid recipe beforehand. I chose Mosaic because of all it's flavor aspects and I wanted a decent malty flavor to go with it so I settled on Vienna. I'm thinking an IPA will be best...

Okay so I've decided to simplify this recipe, and I want to make a seperate brew that will use the rye that was originally gonna be used in this. I finally got a burner and smaller kettle to brew with, so if this recipe checks out and there's no glaring problems, I will brew this weekend. I am...

So let me start this off by saying I already have a 20 gallon kettle that I can use for 10-15 gallon batches. But I will be moving into a condo from a house, so I was looking into something smaller, and 3 gallon batches sound nice since they are a lot easier to work with, I can brew more for...

Hey folks, so I need some help coming with a hop schedule for my red rye ipa. It'll be the first brew I've made at home, and it's a tribute to my late stepmother. Here's the grain bill, I'm guessing I might have a bit less than 70 percent efficiency, which is ok! It's for a 10 gallon batch...

So my Wheat IPA recipe is going to have to wait until next time. I'm trying to put together a recipe for a "mostly" Irish Red. It's a tribute beer to my late stepmother, who recently passed. I told y dad I would brew a beer in her honor and call it by her nickname "The Little Fighter". So...

Okay so right now there is a good deal on amazon for the 60k BTU Camp Chef burner for $77 + free shipping. That's a good deal, but my brew kettle is 20 gallons and I believe it is 19' in diameter. I will be brewing 10 g batches, is this burner to small/inefficient for this big of a kettle? I...

I've posted a few recipes here and have gotten such helpful feedback from you guys, but I've decided on the first one I'd like to try out on my BIAB all grain setup. Being that it's summer, and my favorite style of beer to drink is IPA it was an easy decision to decide to go down that path...

After months of thinking of a good name, I found one I liked. I'll call it Hexwater Brewery. No real meaning behind it, just thought it sounded cool. I designed a logo based on the two words in the name (HW). Here's what the logo and basic label will look like. Thoughts are appreciated, cheers!

So whether I trade/sell my 20 g kettle for a smaller one or not, I will still be brewing no matter what. I'll be doing 5 g batches so I came up with what I think should be a good IPA according to my tastes and preferences. I'm using strictly ingredients I can find from my LHBS since he would...

So due to space constraints and other things, I need to downgrade my never been used brew kettle to a smaller one. Only reason I bought the 20 gallon one was because they didn't have any 15 g kettles so I got it for the same price. So I want to downgrade the 20 to a 10 g. I know it sounds...

Hey guys and gals, I have a question about no chill brewing. I've read a lot into the methods of doing this. I've heard about just no chilling in the brew kettle then transferring to fermentation vessels. I have a 20 gallon kettle, so ill be doing about 7-10 gallons of brew. If I leave it in...

Hey there, another quick question. I'm gonna be doing 10g BIAB batches, and I wanted to know how to get the wort into the fermentors. I know one safe option is using a pump but financially I cannot really do that. What are some other ways to get the wort into the buckets from my 20g kettle...

Getting a pretty screaming deal on a 20 gallon SS kettle, $190 with a ball valve and short thermometer (for BIAB). Only reason it's that price is because I wanted the fifteen gallon custom but they were out of stock so I got the 20 for the same price. So I'm happy but I've only brewed 5 gallon...

So this will be my second batch, and I'm going for a hoppy American Amber Ale. I got a feel for the "basics" of the ingredients in the style, and put this together. I'm just not sure on the amount of chocolate malt to add, and how this hop schedule will work with this style. Hopefully I'll...

Good day! So I'm still new to brewing beer and there's still a lot of equipment and supplies I need to get. Then one day a member here (Jorb) inquired about a possible trade. In exchange for me creating a homebrew logo, and possibly specific beer labels for each brew, he'd send some beers...
