Hey everyone, I was wondering if I could get a little help determining what style of beer this is. I made an Oktoberfest with ale yeast and there is a competition in a month I would like to enter it in. Im not sure where to put it im sure it would get knocked some points for ale character...

I am having a little trouble understanding how to wire up my stir plate, I've seen plenty diagrams I'm just not sure how to apply them to what I'm doing. I have a 12v power supply that is AC but I believe it has a DC adapter (Its a little inline plug?) and a 12v computer fan. I also want to...

Been thinking of making a stir plate. Was sitting here drinking some barleywine :mug: and theres a heatsink/fan, and theres a empty cd case. Looks perfect what do you all think? Im worried about the gap between the magnet and flask I plan on using the heat sink as the spacer so there will be...

Hi all, I'm feeling unsure about what to do with this yeast I saved. 2 weeks ago when I racked a pale ale I went ahead and dumped the yeast cake and about an 1/8 inch of beer into three separate sanitized tupperware dishes. Then I tossed them in the fridge. I'm planning on using them today...

Hey HBT, I owe a buddy of mine big and I was going to brew him a batch of beer. He drinks Budweiser but mostly because its cheap and he can drink 10-15 of them. He usually drinks my homebrew but I dont think he likes hops or stouts. Im trying to come up with a recipe for him but if you all...

Will a still mead age in the bottle?

Says it fits a #6 1/2 bung but my 6 1/2 fell right through. # 7 fits great though hope it doesnt get infected.

So in the interest of brewing what I like, how I like it, and with what I want I have a recipe. I love SNPA and I love lagers. I also grow nugget, cascade, mt. Hood and williamette. I want to put all this together into my ideal beer. How does 90% 2 row 10% crystal 60 sound for grain? Im not...

Doing my first lager in my keezer. Its been 7 days in primary at 54 degrees. OG was 1.05 just racked to secondary and its at 1.014. Its really sweet still. Im doing diacetyl rest now at 60 till Monday. Will it finish fermenting after i racked it? I plan on dropping the temperature to 36...

Its a beautiful day and brewing my first all grain batch. Its an SNPA clone i went a little high on the crystal 60 and cascades but thats how i like it anyway. About 30 mins into the mash wish me luck!

This is my hops second year and im getting ready to run the twine again but i had problrms last year. Mainly I used stakes to hold the twine down and they got pulled up in a storm so I need a better way to hold them down. My vines run up about 7' and then about 8' over to my roof. I had a...

So last summer I brewed a Hefeweizen and my AC went out, it got in the 80s in my house and the beer ended up with a definite off flavor. Kind of fruity and yeasty. I just put a barley wine in my secondary, OG 1.108 FG 1.028 and it has the same off flavors as the Hefe. It has been a varied...

So I've tried to find an answer and no one seems to have had this "exact" problem, lots of foam problems though. When I pour a beer out of my kegerator the first 1 second of the pour is foam and then after that it looks fine. This ruins the entire pour, which only takes about 3 seconds because...

Hey all, names Jesse and I just started brewing a couple weeks ago, a dark stout and now I'm on an American Lager, seems more like an ale though. Anyways I kept getting redirected to this sight when I tried to found answers so I thought I might as well join, lol.
