    Ancient Cave Water Oatmeal Stout

    Greetings all, After yesterday’s brew day (and 1 too many homebrews), me and my buddies came up with a plan for our next brew day. I understand stouts are made with hard mineral-y water, so we thought that perhaps a good idea is to harvest the water from an underground cave waterfall near us...

    Original Gravity Way Lower Than Anticipated

    Hello guys, I brewed mead before but this was my first attempt at brewing beer. After making a lot of research I made my own recipe based on a few others, and here is the recipe; https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/918381/buddha-bomber The thing is, when I measured the original...

    New at brew

    Hi All I'm kind new on this, I have done beer twice. My first time was not that bad. But the 2nd time was awful, the beer at the end was like sour. My guessing is that was contaminated at some point. I'm looking for an easy recipe which I could duplicate and get practice. If you now some, that...

    High Temperature Dry Hopping Question

    Hey everyone, I’m using a Kveik strain of yeast which is currently fermenting at around 90 degrees and wondering if that would be too warm to dry hop. Will I get off aromas? Thanks!

    Sharing is Caring...

    I've brewed a couple of Belgian Wit's that require spices or herbs but the ones at the LHBS are so expensive and the McCormick spices are no better. I found a place that had some of the ones I've using at a much better price... for example I purchased a 1.5 ounce of ground McCormick Sweet...

    NB Lemondrop Saison ☺

    Northern Brewer/Lemondrop Saison @Mase posted this it's my fourth brew using the BIAB method 10 liters/2.6 gallons... I usually give half of my beer away to the Air Force service members I work with; they love free beer after all it's the best kind... I've had good results bottling so I usually...

    Okay... I've got a question for the pros☺

    Over the last few months I've watched a lot of YouTube videos and I keep hearing this reference made to a "Band Aid" taste from some of the more seasoned brewers, which seems to be a reference for beer that was fermented at an improper temperature... to be honest I've never licked a band aid but...

    Silence is Golden... or is it

    Had my first Duvel Belgian Golden Ale tonight at dinner... I actually purchased it a week or so ago as a single just to try it... I didn't really start drinking beer until December 2017 and I'm no spring chicken if you catch my drift... I would have a Blue Moon now and again but didn't realize...

    Water, water everywhere!

    I understand water chemistry is important for optimum results but like most in the "Beginners Brewing Forum" we have to crawl then walk before we can run. I use Ozarka Spring water in my brew and a detailed water report is available. At this time I'm only equipped to do 10 liter (2.6 gallon)...

    Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Stout

    I'm looking for suggestions on a stout recipe I came up with. I know, I know... summer is coming. Why am I brewing a stout? I have had this itch to brew a really creamy, silky stout for a while now. I brewed one last year and it came out a little too thin for my liking. I figured I'd give it a...

    Pina Colada New England Style IPA

    So prior to brewing this, I asked friends and family what they thought about the idea because we want to enter a beer into an upcoming IPA competition. We received a lot of positive responses, but not surprisingly, there was also a lot of negative feedback. The negative feedback revolved around...

    PicoBrew Z - Any thoughts for a new brewer?

    Hey All! I'm brand new here and very new to brewing in general. I have a lot of interest, but not a ton of time. I was looking at the different machines from PicoBrew and the newly announced PicoBrew Z caught my attention. Can anyone share their thoughts on this machine in general and if...

    Vinnie? Is that you? (the possibility of vinegar)

    I recently brewed a batch of graf from apple, pear, and pineapple juice. It was rather sour, so I decided to try and make vinegar from part of it. I found that one method for making cider vinegar is just to leave the cider out in the open for a bunch of time. Never a man to shy away from the...
