Hey guys, First time brewing an Irish Red tomorrow and need a substitute for 6oz roasted barley 300L. I have either black patent malt or Carafa II dehusked. Do you think I could substitute in one of these and still get the colour/malt profile? Cheers!

I ordered some yeast from the states to be delivered here in Japan and it was delayed in customs for a while and when it arrived the wlp002 (english ale) had become clumpy and didn't look in great condition. I needed to brew but had guests over so had little time, so I made a starter for a day...

Hi there, I recently bought a cheap 70 liter pot online here in japan cheaply but the guy had drilled a way too big hole for the ball valve. The hole is 1.5" in diameter and he tried to patch it up with the pieces shown in the photo. The two pieces on the left were on the outside of the...

I'm about to harvest some wyeast 1056 for the first time on an IPA I have fermenting at the moment. I plan to transfer to a secondary and dry hop after initial fermentation has dyed down (4-7 days). When is the best time to harvest the yeast? Should I take it from the primary or...

So Im new to AG brewing and this week made my first attempt at a Kolsch. Had maintained the fermentation temp at 60F, but then last night the temp was too low so I put it on a heated pad to boost the temp for an hour or so. Only problem is that I forgot about it and woke up this morning...
