So I have been experimenting a lot lately with fermenting my brews in a closed system but still allowing to transfer to a second bottling bucket. I seem to have come up with a great system, that’s also cheap. Most people will already have most of the components needed anyway. The only part...

Long story short I am fairly new to brewing. A buddy and I have a few good brews under our belts using all-grain. The last beer I did was a pale ale and my wife liked it but said was too hoppy for her and wanted me to make her something Pineapple. So I scoured lots of other ideas and recipes and...

Hi, Ive just completed my first Brew, its just gone in the keg to carbonate. but i think i made a few errors, first off i think i miss understood the mash process ( THE MASH Temperature °C: 65, Length (mins): 60, Out temp °C: 75, Out time (mins): 10 ), I mashed at 75c when i should have...

Hi Everyone, So i have been getting help on here and on other forums to get advice on my first real brewing recipe. Everything looks good, as far as I see, but some people are saying I need more hops in the WP and DH for this 2 gallon batch. Can anyone give me an estimate usage rate per...

Hello all, So I will be starting home brewing shortly and after my friend and I make a German Hefeweizen this coming week, we will tackle a strawberry NEIPA. While using BF for calculating everything, I have found an issue with my calculated IBUs. On the recipe page, it is showing it being...

Hi, my beers have been fine so far and my next step is to start treating my water. The goal for my NEIPA is to lower sulfate and get more chloride since I was not happy with the mouthfeel and the hop bitterness was a bit harsh. I'm trying this by diluting with 10 l of distilled water (for...

Liquid yeast, forget in my car, 12 hours frozen Tried it anyways, but didnt work well, no krauzen in the fermentor (fermentor B) 4 days after the beginning of the mini-fermentation, I wash wheat beer yeast (which was in fermentor A, 4 days in the fermentor too, 2 brew that day). I poured 3/4...

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...

Hello, I need some advice for my dry hopping. I am currently fermenting an NEIPA using Wyeast 1318 London Ale III and after 8 days I am still waiting for it to finish. I read that this yeast is a top cropper, meaning that the krausen will not fall to the bottom, but will stay on top. Is that...
