What justifies a clone beer? In particular in regards to a clone recipe kit for entry into a competition. If i used a different yeast strain or a combination of yeasts, is it a different beer? Should it be entered under its bjcp style? Or is it still a clone. What if the hops are changed? Etc

Just had the idea that i could probably figure out a way to design a 10 or 15gallon homebrew kettle with permanent wooden screws or pieces fixed to the inside of the kettle. When designing my own recirculating system i out a hole in the wrong place and i clogged the whole using a close nipple...

Thats it. Plain and simple. Was all set up. Electric biab recirculating infusion mash at strike temp. Lashed in the grains.... forgot the bag. Theres a lobster pot (basket) sitting above a heating element and a faucet with a mesh screen. My thoughts are that i've just double the amount of...

Does anyone know where i can get a dohbke ended quick disconnect wire for my system. It broke and i ordered another on off the site where i bought it orginally but it never arrived and the website refused to rectify the situation so i dont wanna buy another one in the same place. I have attached...

I made a yeast starter with London ale 3 which is fairly rare these days. Then before I began brewing my heat probe broke on my electric setup so I couldn't brew. How do I save this yeast. I don't have any experience with harvesting or storing yeast. Cheers

When creating a recipe in beersmith. What grain should I use as a substitute for Golden Promise Malt?

When creating a recipe in beersmith what grain should I enter as a substitute for Golden Naked Oats?

I accidentally put my flaked oats and golden naked oats thought the milling machine. It's mixed with the rest of the grain. No going back now, what do we get from flaked oats. Fermentable sugars? Flavor or mouthfeel? Are these qualities going to be less than planned for? How can I counter this...

I want to make 2 iPas like so: Make a 7.5gallon batch of a DIPA (eg. A target of 8%abv). I want to split off 5 gallons of this to be a double ipa. As for the remaining 2.5gallons of wort - I wish to add 2.5gallons of water to bring it up to 5gallons and make a session ipa with it. My question...

What is the process of fermenting 2.5gallons Of wort in a 5gallon fermenter? Should I still use a blow off tube like normal?

What is the process for kegging 2.5gallons of beer into a 5gallon corny keg? Do I simply purge it with co2 first and let out some pressure?

I want to make 2x 5gallon batches. How should I go about it? I have heard about making a session beer with the first run off of the mash? Or should I split the wort in half and boil with diff hops etc. Any tips and tricks are appreciated? I want 2 diff iPas to start for my first time trying this.

Can you carbonate multiple corny kegs with a 5lb co2 tank. I have a new co2 tank and have attached it to a sode can i have for the last 2 days. I want to carbonate 2 5-gallon conrys with water in them and a 2.5gallon keg of imperial stout. It is also still attached to the 4th keg which as i...

Can someone explain what is going on in this carboy. Its an imperial stout. I left it ferment for about a week then i crashed it to below 40'F to separate the yeast. I expected a big yeast cake but what is the separation on the surface?

Im making a 2.5gallon imperial stout. About 11%abv. I made a starter with 1.5L & 5oz of dme. I dont know how well it worked. Because i only began the starter exactly 24hrs before the brew began. Im currently mashing and the starter is in the fridge. I hope it will will be enough but im always...

Put 30psi of co2 on a 2.5gal keg of session ipa for 4 days. Tapped it today and its all foam. I was told i needed to shake up the keg first. Its all foam but it settles to a decently favored beer but not too carbonated. Any thoughts? Any way to save it? Also what went wrong?

I have an electric brew in a bag recirculating infusion mash system im oretty proud. However im still working out the kinks. The recirculation comes through a garden hose fitting allowing it to spread over the grain bed evenly as it recirculates. The images show this. Wort leaves the kettle -...

The recipe i created on beersmith 2 seems to contradict itself and has me confused. Its such a simple recipe, pale malt and citra hops. And i built my equipment and mash profile on beersmith to match my setup. Its an electric brew in a bag recirculating infusion mash system (eBIAB-RIMS). Usually...
