Brewing With Total Confidence

I only have a few days up there, but I'll be sure to try and hit as many of these as I can! I plan to fill up on lobster and beer :D
Aside from Allagash, does anyone have any brewery recommendations for Portland, Maine?
Had a snafu with an IPA yesterday, where I ran out of propane right as I hit 200 F :confused: I used the whirlpool function on here and ended up...
Hoping for a double brew day. I'll be brewing a west coast IPA with Gulo Ale yeast from omega, and the wife is brewing up a kolsch-style beer with...
I've used Voss, Hothead, Ebbegarden, and Skare kveiks. The latter two were sent to me from Norway dried in 50 mL conical tubes, but perked right...
I plan to pH a sample later today or tomorrow. I used a calibrated pipette to deliver the acid, but I didn't pH my water beforehand. Live and...
I'm not seeing any pellicle formation or detecting any off flavors other than tartness. I did use a new acid (85% phosphoric) and based my...
I have an English Brown that I brewed with S-04 and the finished product (OG 1.050 to FG 1.010) is incredibly tart. It's almost like a kettle...
Whoops! They should both be public now. The IBUs are my only concern with the IPA, since it's already on the lower side. If I dilute I could just...
I based the grain bill for those two recipes off the parti-gyle calculator's expected numbers. I am happy(ish) to say that I blew all expectations...
I plan to do my first parti-gyle brew this weekend. I'm hoping to get an IPA from the first runnings and a dark mild from the second mash. Plan is...

Does anyone here have a formula or know of a calculator that will help with recipe design for a parti-gyle brew? I'm thinking of doing an all...
These numbers aren't apples to apples either though when comparing hops to mj. An ounce of pot at (for the sake of some whole numbers later) 20%...
Blue Moon is infusing beer-like drinks with it but they don't contain any alcohol. I bet we'll see it from the big macros first, but eventually...
Getting a couple bines up is definitely a goal for me as well. I know cascade and nugget grow alright where I am, but I'm uncertain about the Neo...
Carbonating a schwarzbier. On first taste, I may have been heavy handed with the Carafa II. Tastes a bit more like a dry stout without the ale...
It's a little off the wall, but Medusa and some of the other neomexicanus hops have a very dank, pot-like aroma. They can be pretty fruity too...
I spun up a starter from harvested lager yeast that had been previously treated with gelatin. Two days in, I’m not seeing any activity. Is it...
