If you could create a new hop strain, what would its characteristics be? - Aromatic, Bittering, or Both - Flavor and aroma profile Discuss! :mug:

When I started brewing I kind of entered the hobby on a whim. I started with a deluxe homebrew kit from Northern brewer and I haven't looked back. 4 or 5 years later, and I have my dream all-grain system, a beer room/bar in a spare room of the house, and a very supportive swmbo. My question is...

Hey guys, just looking for some feedback on a recipe that has been in the fermentor for about 2 weeks. Recipe was brewed on a 10 gallon digital morebeer sculpture. All PH numbers were hit, and my gravity/volumes were spot on, so I think it should turn out pretty true to what the recipe should...

Well I brewed my first AG batch yesterday on the new morebeer sculpture! Everything went really well actually. I hit my PH almost dead on at 5.45 for the mash and my pre-boil volumes and SG were right where they needed to be too! The PH meter and digital refractometer worked beautifully! My...

Morning guys and gals! I am getting a 5 stage RO system in couple days for my soon to be here AG sculpture. I plan to run the RO product out line to the garage so I can fill a 35 gallon HDPE/BPA free food safe storage tank. The tank will have an RO float that will turn off the system once my...

So I am using Beersmith, Bru'n water, and Brewersfriend in order to modify my RO water profile to suit my first AG batch and have a few questions. First off, I am using the Amber bitter target profile in Bru'n water because the Ingelwood IPA in Beersmith has an SRM value of 7.7 which puts it...

So I decided on brewing the Inglewood IPA recipe from the Beersmith CCHBS AG add on for my first AG batch on my soon to be here Morebeer single tier digital sculpture and I wanted to run some things by more experienced AG brewers to make sure I am going about this in the correct way. First...

Well, I finally ordered my dream brew rig! A 10 Gallon Morebeer Single Teir Digital Brew Sculpture. This thing is going to be a beast, and is actually the exact system that commercial breweries such as Stone, Pike, etc. use for their pilot system. Can not wait to get this thing going. My first...

I have a walk in closet in my brew room that currently holds my fermentation chamber, and miscellaneous brewing equipment. What's stopping me from just converting the closest into a walk in fermentation chamber? All I can think I would need is some insulation, an ac unit, vapor barrier, and...

Portable kegerator is complete! Should work like a charm! Going on my yearly fishing trip at Lee's Ferry in a few weeks, and I wanted to bring my beer... was going to bottle some, but I decided to build a portable keezer with two taps, 3 gallons each! Throw in some ice, and boom... draft beer on...

Hey guys! I just got my Ward Labs report back and I can't seem to get it to balance even after converting the Sulfate (converted figure: 219ppm) and Nitrate (converted figure: 0.9ppm) figures. My cation/anion difference is reporting .84, and I guess it could be due to round errors, but I figured...

First closed system transfer... went well! Goodbye autosiphon! Also got my custom bottle cap in. Had bottlemark.com make a few caps for me and they turned out great! A little blurry, but only if your looking at it really really close.

Well, to make a long story short, the wife and I just moved into a new house and it had a room I was able to make a bar/brew room! It originally had carpet so the first thing I did was rip out the carpet and tack boards, and then undercut the base boards. Spent the following couple days...

Long story short the wife and I just bought a new house, and the best part is, it has a bedroom that that wife OK'd for a full on bar/ brew room! It had carpet, so the first thing I did was lay down some hard wood floors. Then I needed a lamp so I made one using an old mini keg I had lying...

Afternoon guys/gals, About a week ago I brewed a 5 gallon batch of the below recipe. A really really simple fruit wheat that I am hoping is nice and crisp for these upcoming hot AZ days. The recipe is as follows: 0.5 Lb Light crystal 3.3 Lb Briess Wheat DME 3 Lb Muttons Light DME...

Long time lurker here! Been brewing for about 3 years now, mostly extract/partial mash batches but I have built my own fermentation chamber and a Kegerator out of an old chest freezer. Started kegging after the 3 batch and haven't looked back. I still bottle a sixxer or so of each batch, but...
