Hello fellow brewers, I just purchased an anvil foundry 10.5 w/ pump kit. I haven’t brewed on the system yet. I’ve been a fan of the foundry for a while and been surfing the web to see if there is a stainless steel thread head attachment for the anvil pump. I know it’s a Smaller pump and I’m...

I’ve been working on an IPA recipe based on Grains, Hops, and Yeast I have in stock at home. I do no sparge brewing when I brew a 5.5-6.5 gallon batch. I may do a 2 gallon sparge to collect any extra sugars. All depends on how I feel on brew day. I have this recipe set up on beersmith as no...

I’m curious to see what homebrewers have done to upgrade their Brew bucket to give them more flex. I’ve been thinking about adding the dome lid so I have more head space and I dig the 3 inch tri clover lid that can make dry hoping easier. I’ve seen that Ss offers drill bit kits so you can add a...

A few months ago I got a crowler of 1968 wyeast harvested from Altamont Beer Works in Livermore Ca. It was from their stout and it is a fourth generation. I’ve held onto it for a while, just haven’t had the time to brew. Recently I decided to separate the yeast because there is no way I’ll need...

I would just like to know how much and what type of Brett to add during bottle conditioning. My beer is finished at 1.006 and it was fruited with peaches. I’d like to add Brett with the priming sugar. Don’t want any bottle bombs and I’m not going to spend the money on the nice thick Belgian...

So for a couple of years I’ve been wanting to experiment with fermenting apple juice. There’s so much apple juice out there I figured to give it a whirl. I picked up 6 gallons of Kirkland apple juice. Sanitized a carboy, poured in 5 gallons then pitched the dry belle saison yeast. I checked on...

Hey fellow home brewers! I’m going to go over a simple recipe and produce 2 different styles of beer using 2 different dry yeast. I tend to buy in bulk. I always have dry yeast in hand. I’m sure some of you may plan a brew last minute on the fly but don’t have time to order any ingredients...

Hello! I’m planning on brewing a German Pilsner soon. Going with either Weyermann or Best for my Base malt. Hops I have stocked in my freezer are Perle, Northern Brewer, and huell melon. Going for a traditional German Pilsner. All German ingredients. Just wanted some opinions on the hops I...

Hello, Fermented a brown ale with dry London esb yeast from Lallemand. It stood at 1.022 for a few days. I gave it another 5 days and it was at the same gravity. I figured since I’ll be out of town for another 5 days I’ll cold crash when I get back. When I got home I saw pellicle forming. I...

Is it necessary to cold crash this type of pale ale/IPA ? Will cold crashing clear my beer or will it still look like juice? Thoughts? I plan on kegging Friday. I just have a ton of hop sediment and I do not want any floaters.

Hello fellow home brewers! After brewing a Scottish Ale and a Wheat Ale (soon to be whatermelon wheat). I've decided to brew and IPA on the dank side. I want mild bitterness, pungent aroma, a great combo of earthiness, spicyness, citrus flavors. I really want this beer to smell and taste...

So the home brew club I joined is having a Scottish ale competition and I decided to join in on the fun. I have till May to have this brew ready. Never had a Scottish ale before but I'm going to wing it and hopefully i like it. I'm more of a hop forward ale drinker but i have an open mind...

So I Brewed a Blind Pig clone w oak added 7 days to the primary. I also threw in 1/2 oz of cascade and 1 oz of centennial 7 days into primary. The recipe calls to rack off into a secondary or keg. Right now I don't have another fermenter to rack off to. I either want to try keg dry hopping or...

So I harvested the California ale yeast from my Equinox/mosaic pale back in Dec. I made my starter and noticed it's very heady after I shake it and while it's on the stir plate. Also my stir bar sounds like it spins faster then goes slower. I've adjusted this so many times. Just curious, It's my...
