I've been brewing for over 25 years now and have never never ever added fruit to a batch. Now I'd like to. I'm thinking a cranberry Berlinnerish type of brew and figured make my standard batch then add Cranberry to the secondary? Kegging? Would like some recomendations on how much/ What type...

Has anybody ever used copious amounts of acid malt to make a quick berliner? Seems it could be done but maybe tricky dialing in the mash ph? I add a little acid malt to a lot of my recipes to get mash ph in acceptable range , but I have like 10 lbs of it laying around and want to use it up...

I think I've finally realized that I've crossed into obsessive territory. I was finishing up a 10 gal Batch of "mexicanish ale" and while transferring it into the fermenter took an inventory on whats on hand ready to go, conditioning and fermenting. So on tap I have an Esb, kolsch, pale ale and...

Presently, I have 4 Cascade 4 Centennial 1 Chinook 1 Us Golding 2 Sterling 2 Perle 2 Magnum 2 Hersberker 1 Williamette 1 Neo mex 2 Sorrichai Ace and 4 I forgot what they are. The sterling is my least favorite and am going to put it on the back 40 for the bees this year. I see Comet and a few...

So a friend of mine was cleaning out a building he had just purchased and called me to see if I wanted these for brewing... Seems they were used to make candles or something of the like. Inital clean up has shown promising results. They are stainless, 40 gal, 1" fittings and water jacketed...

So Ive been kicking this idea around for quite sometime. I make a cream ale that I ferment with 05 on the low side for the esters and compliment it with citra for a subtle explosion of what most people define as a peach gummy ring taste. I always brew this for non craft people when we have...

So I've bought property in Panama to retire to someday. I also figured I'd open up a small brewery/restaurant on the property to keep me busy in said retirement. Question : will hops thrive in the carribean climate. I swear the more I travel there and most other central american countries...

Thought I had an abundance of EKG but I did not. I brewed an oatmeal stout this afternoon and realized this as it was preparing for boil. I subbed 1.5 oz Cluster @ 60 for the 1.75 ekg I would normally use. I only use cluster for older historical beers and not really anything else. They seem...

Just picked up an extra regulator from harbor freight and am having a heck of a time getting the argon nipple out so I can install the Co2 nipple. Anybody have experience getting one changed. I'm known to destroy things by exerting too much pressure and figured I'd ask before twist it into a...

Anybody ever let their mash go overnight and drop well below 140? Left a partigyle mash sit overnight and really didn't bother to hold temps. Kinda of an experiment I'm doing and wondered if anybody has done this. Mash smelled ok and am starting the boil right now. Dropped from 155 down...

Mostly in my pale ales and IPA or any other front bittering beer. However I do immensely enjoy the technique when brewing a malt neutral or malt forward beer. Question. For a nice bittering front, what IBU does everyone shoot for bittering a pale ale or IPA if using FWH? I try to stick...

I dont know if I hit Pay dirt or alot of sherry. I remodeled my house in 2008 and forgot to move a case of La Chouffe blonde into my new cellaring room. Anybody ever age it beyond 5yrs or so?

Years ago I used mostly noble hops, cascade, centennial, cluster, etc. I now find myself ripping through a pound of amarillo a month. By far my most used hop. Closely followed by simcoe, chinook, citra, colombus, cencentennial and Perle. Just wondering what you use most. Im not...

By means of my forgetfulness; I shall be conducting new experimental whirlpool schedule. Like 2hrs of a whirlpool. I forgot I had to pick the missus at the airport and have just enough time to get the boil done before I leave.. Should be interesting.

Does such a thing exist finishing out under 4 months?

So my family just dumped a reunion on me bacause they they got a cheap house to rent. I gotta get grain to glass in 2 weeks. Im brewing 11 gal centennial blonde tomorrow, 11 gal citra, amarillo centennial blonde sat. Those should be good for the time but i need something else for a quick...
