I brewed about 6 gallons of stout last weekend and plan on adding coffee and cocoa nibs to it after fermentation is complete. This is my first stout to brew and I don't have much experience with these late additions. I've been reading all over the internet the best times and ways to add each...

Looking for suggestions for a good 6.5-7 gallon primary fermenter. As much as I enjoy the ease of use of a bucket, i’m tired of them not sealing properly and having to clean up my chest after every batch. Looking for something easy to clean. Thanks in advance!

Looking for some ideas a few summer beers to brew. Kegging a blackberry and a raspberry wheat tonight so no more fruit beers. Please share some ideas/recipes for some good brew to kick back at the pool and drink all day!

I've had no luck cooling off to below 75-78 degrees here in TX during the summer. I use a dual inline immersion chiller setup, the first being in a bucket of ice water, I constantly add ice to, and the second being in my keggle. I know how important it is to pitch at proper temp (commonly +/-...

I have 11 gallons of wheat beer I am planning on adding fruit to (2 separate batches, 5.5 gal each), 1 with raspberries and 1 with blackberries. I've searched the internet and i'm looking for any input on amount to add to each? I am planning on going with the Oregon Fruit puree. They come in...

Traveling to New York with the wife in a few months and looking for some local brewery recommendations in the Manhattan area.

I brewed 11 gallons of wheat beer (SG = 1.061) which was placed in a 6 gallon and 6.5 gallon bucket, very little headspace in either bucket. I made a 2 step yeast starter of WLP001 and added an extra pack of yeast to ensure I had adequate cell count and split the yeast between the two buckets...

I have been brewing 5 gallon batches and am thinking about moving up to a 10 gallon batch this weekend. All of my equipment is capable of mashing and brewing this volume but I am not sure about my immersion chiller. I am using a homemade 25' 3/8" immersion chiller in line with a 20' 1/4"...

I am going to make a starter for a 10 gallon batch i'm doing this weekend. Haven't done this before so I'm not too familiar with the starter calculator here. If I add 7.2 oz of DME, how much water do i need in a 2L flask? I plan using 2 liquid yeast packs to meet the requirement. Does...

I'm going to make a wheat fruit beer this weekend and the recipe calls for a late addition of turbindo sugar. I've read you can add this at the end of the boil or during peak primary fermentation (assume that would be about 3-4 days in), does anyone have any experience and suggestions of what...

I have 2 ales i just kegged and this is my first time to keg beer. I put both on 12 psi last night, and from what I am told, should expect it to be ready in ~2 weeks. I have been looking at the idea of force carbing and wanted to see what everyones thought on that is. From what I understand I...

I am looking to begin kegging my homebrew and want to install a draft system in my garage standup fridge. Can anyone recommend a quality setup? I probably want to start off with a 2 tap system, with room for expanding (manifold/CO2 volume) to 4 at some point, assuming space will allow. I have...

So I brewed my first all grain batch on 1/8/17, it is a Centennial Pale Ale and OG was 1.042. Checked it 4 days ago and fermentation wasn't quite done, checked again today and FG is 1.012 so I'm calling it good. The recipe calls for dry hopping 4 days which I am planning on doing tomorrow but I...

Hey guys, brewing my first all grain batch this weekend and already looking forward to my next. Curious as to what books fellow brewers recommend for reading on home brewing? Would like to really understand the science behind everything, understand different variations and combinations of...

First off I am new to home brewing, planning on brewing my first all-grain batch this weekend. I have brewed 2 batches so far, both malt Better Brew extract kits, and both have been IPA's. My primary fermenter is a 6 gallon bucket with lid. During the primary on both batches I saw no...
