This steam beer is fantastic ! Ya I'm bragging!

I just finished conditioning a steam beer . I'm away from my notes at the moment but it finished right where it was suppose to be. I kegged it. And had a Lil left over. So I poured a small amount in a glass and tasted it. It tasted very sweet. Not like flat beer. It's been in the keg for 24...

Has anyone brewed in a oak barrel before? Is it possible?

What we all drinking for the New Years? I'm getting sloshed on Sam Adams winter fest and grey goose vodka since none of my home brew made it thru Christmas . HAPPY NEW YEARS!

So today is my second year of brewing .. I've meant to keep count on my brews but I lost count after the 10th batch. Today I brewed a "steam beer" so far it has turned out great. Every day I come on here to read and try no things all of you have helped me so much and I would like to say thank...

My buddy brewed a batch of octoberfest this time last year. He never bottled it or anything . I want to keg it today. He thinks its bad because it sat for a year and the air lock is dry'd up. I say once it fermented it couldn't of gotten a bacteria . 1) has anyone tried this? 2) am I right?

Hello everyone! I'm getting bored with extract kits. And the spring is here! I went and purchased a 10 gallon Gatorade type water cooler. I'm looking for what I need to turn into a masher . I've looked on YouTube but I can't find a good video on the stuff I need to buy. And is there a good...

Just tapped a keg of an imperial ipa I brewed. I was expecting like a hoppier tasting brew. But this is more of a citrus start then a lighter dry finish. I followed it precisely ..don't get me wrong it's a wonderful brew. Tell me what you all think. I'm a noob so I'm not real up to speed on the...

Hey guys and gals Im having a problem holding co2 in my kegs. I have changed all gaskets and checked all my connections on my hoses over and over with soap solution. My beer is getting carbed but my co2 tank seems like its losing a lot.

I have seen a lot of star wars references on these threads. So I figured....what the hell. Has anyone names their beer after star wars ? It's nerdy. But I couldn't help it.

I just kicked my last keg..a wonderful amber by far the best one I've made in six attempts . I promptly cleaned out my keg and got ready to pour in a new batch of imperial ipa. When I opened the fermentor (22nd day of ferment) A strong alcohol smell came with it. "I've made beer! Again by god "...

Hello people! Cheers! I have question, hope you guys can help me out. I just kegged my first brew a few weeks ago . I have a 10 lb co tank . And only one pony keg. The co only lasted a few weeks! I checked all my connects with soap water and no bubbles. My question is do I leave the co on the...

This is the first time I'm dry hopping. My lhbs told me to drop the hops in after about 3-4 days Can I wait longer? And how do I sanitize a cheese cloth?

Last night I brewed an ipa. I pitched my yeast at 60 degrees. And left it in my basement over night. It got real cold last night (strange winter in the north east) I woke up this morning and the fermenting at 54 with no visible signs of activity . So I moved it upstairs where I keep my house at...

1) pours nicely 2) here it sits ...a lil on the dark side should of let it sit for another week (I did 3 weeks instead of my usual 4 fg was 1.020) 3) my lord this is outstanding BEER! Why didn't anyone tell me keg'n is the way to go! Screw those bottles!

adding a pound of honey to an ipa will not make the taste of honey come out. It will however increase alcohol % to about an 8% ... After 3 of these I can't feel my face. This is just a FYI

Hey everyone I just built my first keezer. I kinda of winged it. It's plane and simple. Just wanted to ask if there's anything all you guys and girls would add to it. (well besides the more beer and taps they are coming) should I add more insulation ?

I know air lock isn't a good indicator . But I just brewed a German ale. I think I pitched my yeast a lil warm about 80-85 ... I had good bubbling going on for two days. Then it stopped. It's fermenting at a nice 67 right now. Would it hurt to throw more yeast in there?

I guys and ladies . I have a question. It's kind of silly but it's killing me. I just finished my keezer and am quite proud of it. I put my tap thru the collar .. Now I don't know how to hook up my houses. I've been looking and looking and no one has an answer. Do I need an adapter to screw into...
