So I was getting ready to brew this weekend and realized I have no DME for my starter and no LHBS within an hour’s drive. I do have, however, some Breiss LME that I bought last fall that my wife uses to boil her bagels in before she bakes them. Originally it was a light Pilsner extract, but...

I don't dry hop very often because of the styles I usually brew, but in this case I did a Sam Adams Boston lager clone that called for an ounce of Mittlefruh dryhopped for 5 days. I used WLP830, pitched at 44F and let it rise to 52F over 10 days, where the OG wast 1.052 and finished at 1.102...

So a couple of days ago I bottled 5.5 gallons of a pilsner that used WLP833 in a 3 liter starter. I used a muslin bag to contain the hop pellets, so all that was in the fermenter was the yeast and cold break. I also used gelatin to clear the beer and cold crashed it for 7 days prior to transfer...

I have to admit that water chemistry is getting to be way over my head, so any help would be appreciated. I'm on a well and have a whole-house water softening system (Rainsoft). My treated water tastes good, no salty taste to it. The beers I've done so far taste good (at least to me). My...

Getting ready to do my first lager and I'm a little concerned about yeast viability after lagering for weeks on end. I've read the threads here that pretty much tell me not to worry and that there'll be plenty of yeast to carb, though it may take a bit longer. I was thinking that if I were...

Windows 7 user here. Clicked on File->Add-ons, got the Add-ons window but it's blank. If I click on the green add icon, I get an error message that says "Could not connect to download the list of add-ons from the internet". I've got an internet connection, so what's the problem? I asked...

I need some advice on how to design my keezer setup. What I want is to have three kegs on tap and one carbonating. One of the kegs will have a Belgian or hefeweizen and the other two with IPA and pale ale. I'd also like to be able to carb a fourth keg while serving the other three. What's...

Well, tonight I brewed for the first time. I used the Midwest Supplies 5 gallon Amarillo Pale Ale kit and everything seemed to go well. However, the OG was 1.060 at a 65 degree wort temperature, whereas the recipe called for an OG of 1.050-1.054. My hydrometer instructions tell me to add...
