Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with this site, just throwing it out there for those interested. I'm not sure if you guys have heard of 24 Hour Hops but they have a wet hop harvest scheduled for January. I've never brewed with wet hops before and my hop harvest this year (1st year) was quite...

So I have an oatmeal stout that is about 10 days into fermenting and this weekend I was going to add 1.5 oz of Hungarian oak that I have soaking in bourbon. My question is can I just throw them in the primary bucket or should I rack it to a secondary? To be honest, I'm just feeling lazy and...

So I brewed an oatmeal stout this weekend (https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/550086/vanilla-oatmeal-stout) and it was just a partial mash kit. So with only 5 lbs of grain, I decided to use my paint strainer bag and just BIAB instead of doing my normal mash. My initial mash was...

It looks like Anvil Brewing Equipment is putting their 4 and 7.5 gallon bucket fermentors open for pre-orders. https://www.anvilbrewing.com/product-p/anv-fv-4gal.htm https://www.anvilbrewing.com/product-p/anv-fv-7.5gal.htm While the everyday plastic bucket works just fine, I feel like they are...

I'm going to finally keg my first beer next weekend and I'm still trying to wrap my head around conditioning. When I bottled, I'd let the bottles sit for at least a month before I began even touching them. I know this was to obviously carb it up but it usually got better as it conditioned. So...

I want to do a small batch experiment but I need some help picking a sour blend. My idea is to make a cherry stout without using any cherries. I plan to use the wine yeast BM45 which produces "big cherry aromatics and flavor". The only problem is that wine yeast can't break down maltotriose...

I made this 24 pack carrier with some extra plywood I had laying around. No more cheap cardboard boxes for me.

A new malt company opened near me, Proximity Malt, and I'm interested in buying local, if possible. They posted a pdf analyzing their different malts. I was wondering if anyone might be able to explain what some of these terms on the report mean and what it means for brewing. I realize I could...

I've done a few all grain batches the traditional way with a mash tun but I'd like to try BIAB. With the thinner mash, is mash pH something I need to take into account? Do you usually add acid malt or just make acid additions during the mash? Or, since I'm aiming for about 6.5 gallons to boil...

Hi everyone. I'm new to Brewer's Friend but have been brewing for about 6 years now. I've done a few all grain batches using my igloo cooler but always like to go back to my roots and use extract. I'm pretty excited that I'm finally moving to a house so I no longer have to do apartment brewing...
