My first big home improvement project related to brewing. I brew in a tiny 41m2 apartment and until now have been relying on some basement storage space for fermentation temp control, which was OK but not perfect (down to 13C in winter and up to 23C+ in summer). I have a pretty large alcove...

So maybe a dumb question, but would a wheat beer that was brewed with citrus zest be a "fruit beer" or a "spice beer" in the BJCP styles? I am leaning more towards spice beer since the fruit category seems to be more for things like cherry, blueberry, etc where you actually add the whole...

I'm starting a long-running series of single-hop IPAs. I will be making them in 2.5 gal batches by splitting a 6 gal mash into two boils then ferment side by side. Making two at a time should help me pick out differences in process vs differences in the hops (i.e. batch A and B had X flavor, but...

My normal process for trub separation is to use irish moss, then after the boil cool with an IC chiller, "whirlpool", then let the wort sit for about 30 minutes so everything settles out. This works decently well and I get very clear beers, but the loss of almost a gallon of liquid with the trub...

Moving away and need to get rid of: - Floor corker - wine bottle type, but can work for belgian beer bottles, I can show you how if you pick up in person. $75 + shipping - Rotating bottle tree 45 seats - $40 + shipping - Better bottle, 2x fermenting buckets, 1x bottling bucket - $10...

Need help figuring out a problem with my latest batch. It was a partial boil, steeped grains + extract irish red (got the recipe on here somewhere, it's called Patricl I believe). Primary around 65 for 3 weeks, bottled with dextrose, been bottle conditioning for 6-7 weeks now. My computer...

So I placed an order with morebeer on 4/5.. It was over their cutoff for free shipping but I decided to pay for UPS just because it said they could get it out the door sooner. So on 4/10 - FIVE DAYS LATER I get an email saying my order still hasn't shipped because one of the items was out of...

So, I was drinking some of this tasty stuff tonight: Rare Vos (Amber Ale) - Brewery Ommegang - BeerAdvocate and then followed up with some DFH 90 minute IIPA.. And it got me thinking. I love the taste of belgian style ales, with their fruity esters, and I love the hop aroma of the DFH 90...

So, I have my first beer bubbling away in the fermenter (a brown ale), and having a hell of a time "relaxing" ;) With the long weekend coming up, I am thinking of dedicating some time to whipping up a couple more batches. I want to get a couple smaller fermenters (maybe 2.5g) and going for some...

Hi all! Brand new home brewer from NJ here (well, to be precise, and as I tell all of my friends - I may live in NJ, but I'll never be from NJ :ban:) Currently have my first brew, a brown ale from extract, sitting in the fermenter for the past few days. First time went rather smooth, with...
