Hey guys, Im going to be in Seattle this coming weekend, 5/9 - 5/12. Id love to hit some of the cities best beer bars and/or breweries. Any recommendations for an IPA lover? Also just found out its Seattle Beer Week! What kinda crazy good luck is that?! :rockin:

Can someone check over at NorthernBrewer.com and see what yeast is used in the Surly Bitter recipe for me? Im at work and the company firewall blocks them from me. Thanks :mug:

Ive got a guys weekend coming up and need to snag a few cases of beer. Everybody there is hip to craft beers and we all generally prefer big IPAs but this will be more of a drink all day type of weekend. Its going to be wicked hot and quite humid so something that will go down fast and easy is...

Im trying this method for the first time but am having an issue with the keg sealing properly. Ive put hop pellets into a mesh hop bag and then tied a length of 10# fishing line around the bag leaving a long enough tag end to hang outside the keg. My intent was to have an easy method to...

So I wanted to try something different and the 2013 release of Sierra Nevada Bigfoot caught my eye. Now, Ive never had a barley wine before so I want to make sure I get this beer at its peak. I do know that often times barley wines are aged for many months and read of fellow home brewers who...

I screwed up my timeline a bit and need to pitch on delay tonite. That is, I brewed Saturday and have my wort under airlock but have not pitched yet. I have my 2 step starter cold crashing now and intend to decant and pitch this evening. My question is should I aerate my wort before pitching...

So I fell alseep at the proverbial wheel and forgot to make my starter earlier in the week. I banged out a small one pint starter this morning with the hope to brew tomorrow afternoon. Im going for a mid range pale with an OG of around 1.046 and my yeast was 1056 dated 12/13. No stir plate...

so I moved recently and my tap water is no longer usable for brewing due to chlorine. I know I can fix this on the future by buying chlorine free water or dechlorinating my tap water. My question is is there anything I can do with my already brewed beer that will help alleviate the...

pretty straight forward question. whats the best way to sanitize these? can I just hit them with some starsan or is there a better method?

Ok here's my situation. Mid August I bought a kit from AHS with the intent to brew it a few days later. Well, life got in the way of my fun and I had to postpone my brewdate. I put my unactivated smack pack in the fridge. Now a month later I finally had some time coming up. I took them out of...

Is this something that is ever done? Can multiple strains even co-exist together? I'm curious.

quick shout out to all my fellow brewers... longtime time lurker, short time member, just went premuim from Rochester, NY. Love the site, great members, great info, glad to be part of the homebrew revolution!

Hey guys & galls, here's my situation... I made my first yeast starter Friday afternoon from Wyeast 1272. The yeast from the smackpack was viable, I had a good swell on the pack after about 4 hours. I follow the directions from Northern Brewer that called for 1300ml of water and 1.5 cups of...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-13776499 I thought this was kinda cool. I wonder how much they knew about the process? I wonder if yeast was introduced purposefully or if they just got lucky with some wild strains blown on the wind?
