I'm going to brew an extract straight lambic tomorrow. 4 pounds of light dme and 3 pounds of wheat dme. I'm using same aged hops. Since I'm not going for hop utilization rather the preservative power, can I just boil for 15 minutes? I'm also thinking about not doing a full volume boil since...

I've got a rye saison that should be ready for the keg next weekend and I'm trying to figure what to do with this yeast cake. My fermentation chamber is full so I want to make something I can at ambient temps. My thought is a RIS Questions- Will the 3711 dry it out too much? Should I mash...

I brewed a Flanders Red which is my first sour beer about a month ago I used the Wyeast Roselare blend Two questions - I'm aging in a plastic bucket. I read some posts that this is OK, but others say it's too much oxygen. I made too much wort so I fermented out 1 gallon separately. I added...

I just picked up some corny kegs, manifold and CO2 tank tonight. I hooked everything up tonight and pressure tested one of the kegs.. Even after I turn the CO2 tank completely off, my gauge that reads the PSI in the tank is still showing 1100 pounds. Shouldn't this go to 0 after I turn off...

I've got an American Wheat that I brewed with lemon and lime zest. It's pretty good and I'm entering in a contest. Any thoughts on which category I should enter? 6D doesn't specify an overwhelming citrus nose which this beer has...

I'm brewing a chinook / 2 row SMASH tomorrow. To add a little color I was thinking about toasting a pound of the malt in my oven. Questions It's already milled, will that make a difference? Total grain bill is 5 pounds, is 1 pound too much I was thinking about 300 degrees for 30 minutes...

Does anyone have a discount code that's currently valid? Thanks!

Made a Maris Otter & centennial SMASH this morning. Dropped a wooden spoon in the wort before pitching yeast. Who thinks I'll be dumping thus batch down the drain in the near future?

I bottled my second brew last Sunday. I tried one tonight and it's barely got any carbonation Its a Midwest Amarillo Ale. 4 weeks primary and 2 weeks in secondary Used dextrose at bottling. Package that came with kit. Did I wait to long to carb? Will it improve? Should I add more sugar and...

So my muslin bag wouldn't fit in the top of my carboy when filled with my whole amarillo hops. I just poured them in. Now I've got a bunch of hops floating in the top. Do I need to worry about these hops finishing up in my bottle if I rack to a bottling bucket and then to the bottles? I thought...
