    Brewer's Friend one gallon equipment profile

    I'm a newbie one-gallon brewer (done 4 batches as for now). I tried several recipe sources and now I'm trying out the Brewer's Friend. The thing is that most of the recipes are 5+ gallon batches so I'm going to use Scale function which as I understood requires Equipment profile to be properly...

    Only fill their own growlers?

    Hi all, A local gourmet-ish grocery store started filling growlers a while back, and I subscribed to their emails about what they had available. Mostly it's been things I consider a bit weird, so I didn't actually go there until yesterday. They had a Mild I really wanted to try. more: chung cư...

    Any brewers here that have lost their sense of smell?

    I came to the realization late last year that I had some level of loss of smell, but it apparently was a gradual change and I have no idea when it started. I've been to a specialist, had an CAT scan, MRI, and endoscopy, but nothing was found in any of them. more: chung cư mỹ đình plaza 2 There...

    Fermentation Timing beyond Gravity Change

    Hi All! I've been brewing awhile now but I'm starting to try and get serious about the craft and its got me questioning pretty much every aspect of brewing. My current quandary: Why do we(homebrewers) take longer to ferment our beers than craft breweries? It seems to me that whenever I tour a...

    Adding Coriander and Orange Peel to Belgian Wheat

    Hello, I'm reading a lot of different opinions on when and how long to steep the orange peel and coriander. I'm making a Belgian Witbier tonight. The coriander came crushed and it looks like cinnamon. The guy from Midwest said to throw it right into the wort but I've read that leaving coriander...

    What to expect when controlling temp?

    I have brewed around 10 batches since starting HB this year. In the summer I keep my house cool at 68deg or so... but in the winter the furnace brings it to 70 or so. I decided this last batch I would actively control the temperature beyond leaving it at room temperature. I have been keeping...

    Beer Styles that Benefit the Most from Oak

    I love oak in my wine, and I've read a bit about oak in beer but I've never really seen a list or any suggestions as to what type of beer would benefit the most from it. In wine, both Cabernet and Chardonnay are excellent with some oaky flavor, but I just don't know with beers. Also, in some...

    How to REALLY control the craft beer market

    I'm not one of the tinfoil hat wearing anti AB/Inbev people but I recently saw this short video and had an epiphany. If AB/Inbev really wanted to control the craft beer market, they'd start buying up all of the hop farms. When that starts happening... then I might join the tinfoil hat anti...
