I'm working on a recipe and have been wanting to experiment with hop timing a little, but thought I would tap the collective mind for some general direction. Basically, I was thinking of still doing a full 60 minute boil, but with no early hops. I would do big additions towards the end of...

The first IPA of my own recipe that I have actually liked and will brew again, so thought I'd share. 8lb Pilsner (56.3%) 4lb Red-X (14.1%) 2lb Maris Otter (28.2%) 0.2lb Carafoam (1.4%) Mashed at 150 for 60 min, 1.5 qt/lb 1oz simcoe 60 min 1.5oz Sterling at 5 min (let stand another...

I just want to source some setup critique/troubleshooting before I actually use this setup in case there is anything I can fix before I'm totally committed. I plan to try a pressure fermentation in a corny keg for my next brew. I've done my research, but the one "new" thing I am trying to...

I'm selling my Fast Ferment that has done two batches for me. It is in good shape and comes with an extra collection ball along with all the stuff that comes with it. (As Seen Here). Nothing wrong with it, I'm just finding it is not my style and I want to free up some space. I have it...

Long time lurker, first time poster. I've used this forum for reference a lot over the last few years, but I found and old thread about some Milk Mead that I needed to resurrect to get some help so I finally joined. I have a lot of fermenting and culturing experience (cheese, saurkraut...
