My father loved Dark Beers and Manhattans. He passed away from ALS a couple of weeks ago. I am planning to do a tribute beer that combines the flavor profiles of his two favorite adult beverages. There is one commercially available example that I’m aware of...

Have a my first ever lager in the fermenter (Maibock 1.067 OG, predicted FG 1.012, Saflager W-34/70) bubbling away at 52F. My plan was to lager in the keg. Do I wait for a stable FG before raising the temp for a diacetyl rest and then into the keg, or do I just get fairly close and let...

My normal cold crash vessel is short on space right now. It’s 29F outside, forecast to godown to 24F overnight. Beer is about 6.3%. How long can I leave it outside without risking freezing?

What’s the closest I can get to an Oktoberfest in Ale form. No room (or time really) for lagering.

I’ve always wondered if there is some advantage to using corn sugar over plain table sugar? Corn sugar seems like such a weird/arbitrary ingredient, but if there’s some reason I should favor it over sucrose I’d be curious to know.

Making the jump to kegging. I usually brew 2.5 gallon batches (in the fermenter) and usually end up bottling more like 2.25 gallons of clear beer. I bought a 2.5 gallon keg (Technically the keg (torpedo 2.5) says it holds 2.6 gallons), and I’m wondering how much head space is too much/not...

I Am looking to brew an IPA inspired by Dogfish Head’s American Beauty. It‘s brewed with a Honey Almond granola As one of the ingredients. Seems like the couple of times I’ve brewed with honey, the flavor Of the honey gets totally lost in the process. So I’m wondering if using some Honey...

Home Depot is selling these for $25... I brew small batches (1-2.5 gal) and I'm wondering if this would be powerful enough to provide the cooling for a small fermentation chamber? Anyone out there ever try it?

My first two batches (all grain BIAB) both hit OG and FG numbers as predicted, and both taste good, but neither one has much carbonation. Pretty much flat after 2 1/2 and 4 weeks in the bottle. Primed both batches with corn sugar tablets and stored at 68 F. Any thoughts as to why It wouldn't...
