So I plan on racking my mead into secondary in a few weeks and then bulk aging. My question i guess is the same for mead as it is my wines that are currently bulk aging. I want to get all the gas out so when i bottle there is no fizz. Ive heard 6 months to a year in the carboy should do this...

OK so I brewed an American hefe the other day. It was getting dark and when I poured from my kettle into temporary bucket I thought it was to the 5 gallon line. Well I racked to primary and let sit. The next day fermentation was going very well but the water line seemed far lower than my...

Yesterday I brewed a tweaked version of the SWMBO Slayer using Belgian Pale malt. My LHBS didnt have Belgian 2-row as the recipe calls for. They just had Pale malt. I am wondering how this will affect the flavor of the brew. The SRM is too high but all other figures fall into the Belgian...

So browsing my local beer store yesterday I cam across two new bottles of belgian beer I hadn't seen before. Turns out they are from a Tarpon Springs, FL brewery called Saint Somewhere. The are brand new I think only producing brew since January and let me tell you its fantastic. The bottle I...

I am looking for a substitute for Tettnanger hops used as flavor and aroma in Ed Worts Kolsch recipe. I have many other varieties at my house but not this one.

Not to hijack but I use beer tools pro and I cant find anywhere that shows you strike temps and things of that nature.. In the section on the bottom called Schedule is it supposed to show a graph or something?

Just doughed into my second AG and hit my mash temp spot on. I'm making the Blue Balls Belgian Wit from Biermeister. I cant wait this is so awesome. It feels like i know a 100% more now than even my first time. Trying to fix the little things I messed up last time.

Just doughed into an Ed's Pale Ale recipe for my first AG brew. Noticed a lot of you have chosen this recipe. I hit my temp 152 right on and now Im awaiting that 60 minute mark so I can begin my first ever batch sparge. Damn this is exciting! So thankful to have finally taken the plunge. It...

Ok So I bought AHS Texas Orange Kolsch kit without the yeast since I knew it would arrive here in sunny FL hot as hell. I picked up a pack of WYEAST 2656 KOLSCH this morning and I wanted to know. Is this a lager yeast? If so Im guessing I should ferment between 50-60 and then cold condition...

My LHBS advertises this recipe as one of their "kits". It looks very good but I have never brewed in this style before, with the 3 layers. What are you all's thoughts? Layer One 3.3 lbs. Wheat Malt Extract ½ lb. Belgian Wheat Grain (cracked) ½ lb. Belgian Pale Grain (cracked)...

Its so nice having house elves that like homebrew as payment. All I need do is place my bottles on the counter the night before. Lets see it was 30 for the merlot... and I didnt for forget to leave out bottles for the vanilla cream ale AND my Kaduva IPA = 100 bottles for those sweet lads...
