Well I have been looking at different equipment options for a long time now for my 3 gal biab. Seriously considering getting some anvil equipment, most likely the Anvil 4 or maybe the 7.5 gallon fermenter with conical bottom, and the 6.5 gallon foundry electric. It most likely will be a while...

I'm soon to begin brewing BIAB 3 gallon batches. I will probably get a catalyst 6.5 gallon fermenter with trub valve. Is that too large for my 3 gallon batches? Seems nobody makes a nice 5 gallon 'total' conical with trub valve! And all 3 Gallon versions I see are only designed for 2 maybe...

I've never done BIAB before and wondering if I have my settings correct in the recipe Editor? Really not sure if I have settings correct especially in the mashing section. Please have a look. Thank you! Brew Method: BIAB Style Name: Sweet Stout Boil Time: 60 min Batch Size: 3 gallons...

extract brew. I have seen several recipes from reputable companies such as northern brewer that call for flaked barley to be steeped along with the other specialty grains. Since steeping does not convert the flaked barley properly will this hurt anything? Will flaked barley convert properly or...

Hi, Next time you add to ingredients could you please include Weyermann Carafa Special II, ? Sure would appreciate it.

remembering my last trip to Switzerland had me thinking a lot about a munich dunkel brewed by a good friend there. awesome maltyness, flavor/aroma! he said it was a just a basic dunkel with traditional hallertauer bittering hops and Strisselspalt for flavoring and dry hopping. i had never...

I generally take a recipe from a kit i liked and try tweaking to my own tastes. I almost always increase abv by 1-2% with the base malt and adjust hops for this. Now my question: About how much do i increase steeping grains for the abv change? I don't like a thin beer. Guessing if recipe...

Hi, i have never used pale chocolate malts but have read some articles stating the pale is slightly better on the chocolate flavor and aroma, and less on coffee notes. (I would like that) So any truth to this? most times i also add nibs to keg for roughly 7 days to bump the flavor up...

I really wish I could find a homebrew company with fast product turnover (fresh!) that has everything i want! Not like my order is strange... one company has all my ingredients, but NO munich dme! Another has the dme but no caramunuch 3 or the yeast i want., or even strisselspalt hops! it's...

my recipe page porter low abv no longer has any steeping grains section, just isn't there! saved recipe 2 nights ago all fine, tonight all steeping grains gone, no way to get them back. often I'll save, come back later to discover double/tripple entries. found 7 copies of my yeast once...

Thinking about doing this one before I leave for Europe. Cream ale from web, modified for a bit more ABV and body. Does it look ok? BTW - Many thanks for replies i got on making a Michelob amber bock clone for my freind! have come up with what i feel will be a good amberbock recipe now -...

Trying for a celebrator\optimator taste. You think I'd go wrong with addition of 2-3 oz victory, crystal 90, or perhaps briess extra special roast? Thanks! HOME BREW RECIPE: Extract: Title: dopplebock Author: Kosh Brew Method: Extract Style Name: Doppelbock Boil Time: 45 min Batch Size: 2.5...

Odd request... first a bit of info on my beer preferences: Stout/porters. old rasputin, founders. But also enjoy sweet irish stouts, robust and sweet porters. Dopplebock, wheat dopples, helles bock ie: salvatore.. Big rye ipa, pale ales, Octoberfest. That's a sampling of my likes, pretty...

Hi, not new at brewing but figured this might be a good place for the question: does anyone know of a good SS 3-4 gallon brew kettle that's 10 inch diameter maximum at bottom? Need this size for my induction cooker. Needs spigot as well but if under $66.00 i guess i could add one myself...

Hi, trying to do recipes using the Boil the hops, not the Malt Extract! method found at: https://www.baderbrewing.com/content/boil-hops Can I do this with the recipe software on this site? Doing 2.5 gal extract batches, so need to make pre boil about half whats suggested in article. I would...

Found this on the web, sound reasonable? Boil the hops, not the Malt Extract! When making extract beer and boiling hops, you can improve your beer by making some minor changes to the traditional brewing methods that have been commonplace in USA homebrewing for the past 24 years. 1) Steep...
