The more I brew the more I want to brew. Took a case to a party and it was the first gone. Have tons left over from a wedding I brewed for (almost 10 cases) plus 2 other batches bottled and I have a saison bubbling away. I know I need to drink more before I brew more but I have so many recipes...

Well the plastic spigot from my 5 gal bottling bucket be strong enough or do i need something stronger to do 20 gal?

For the past year i have been using the 5 gallon bottling bucket from the Brewer's Best kit. It had worked great but i need more. :) A friend and i are brewing the beer for his wedding so we have significantly upped or game. Did 20 gallons of apple wine as separate batches, but with the...

The more variety you have brewed the easier it is to let one age. That my tripel bulk agreed 2 months and had been bottled now for 4 weeks. I look forward to sampling while brewing stouts today.

This sounds like what i have going. 5 gal og 1.090 with a white labs saison 2 yeast (love the flavor that yeast produces)

I want to experiment more and thinking of trying a 1 gal batch of gruit using the grain bill from my Citra ipa, bittering with yarrow and flavoring with cilantro, lime zest, and Serrano chili. Does anyone have tips for using these ingredients?

What bar recipe do you use for the Porter. In wanting to do a chocolate Porter.

This is a batch I am finding it hats to wait for carbonation. I made the mistake of running out of my other cider before bottling this one.

I let one completely dry out on me. It went all the way down to 1.000. I just bottled lat night with some stevia to sweeten and a little sugar to carb. Hoping it turns out well. I did the same 2 tsp of stevia for close to 6 gal. Glad to not be the only one trying this.

I curious how this turned out. My fisht batch of cider finished high at 1.026 and was nice and sweet. My second batch is down to 1.003. I'm hoping that stevia will work well then just prime like normal. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Home Brew mobile app

I have had good results washing my yeast but an looking to try harvesting some from commercial brews. Mainly looking for a good Belgian strain that could handle a trippel and a saison for a pomegranate cherry saison this summer. Any ideas on beers to look for in Colorado that have their primary...

I was thinking of trying this and wondering if anyone else already had. http://m.whitehouse.gov/blog/2012/09/01/ale-chief-white-house-beer-recipe Looks like a pretty simple recipe. Probably just clean out leftover hops for the boring unless anyone has a great suggestion for me. Sent from my...

I had a picture of a chocolate porter flavored with rose petals. Has anyone ever used rose petals in their homebrew? Curious how the flavor blends and how much is needed. I've seen dandelion porter but not rose petals. Could be fun right? Sent from my SCH-I545 using Home Brew mobile app

I recently had a Sam Adams chocolate cherry boch. Does anyone have a recipe that would help me get close with a chocolate cherry stout? I'd be looking to do either a 5 gal extract or a 3 gal all grain. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Home Brew mobile app

This at least had helped me figure it or better. My other batches had not prepared me for this. #1 Belgian Trippel (brewer's best kit) #2 Sweet Cider #3 Berry flavored Ale (still getting fruit right in secondary) #4 Imperial Coffee Oatmeal Stout (bottled today) #5 Citra Double IPA (will try...
