Anyone else struggling to get organized to even brew lately? I've brewed maybe 3 times since Christmas and it's felt like a slog each time. Nothing has changed in the work or time involved, I just struggle to find the drive to measure out the grain to even start the brew lately. It's weird and...

For this holiday season. It's -35C here so I'm hiding inside and trying to avoid doing anything that requires me going outdoors.

I've found a killer deal on one of these in that I can't upgrade my current home made setup for the price of the S40 but I haven't seen a lot on them. I'm a bit concerned about the 2300W element as right now I use closer 3200W and it takes a while to get to a boil. Anyone used one of these and...

Our local brew group is doing a historical beer challenge in lockdown and I find Kentucky Common the most appealing in that grouping. Was wondering if anyone knows good historical recipe they can share?

I'm poking around with BF and Bru'nWater to try and get a handle on water and I'm messing around with a Schwarzbier and the PH from the base grain load is 5.25 in BW and 4.4 in BF. I'm at a bit of a loss why there is such a significant difference. Anyone messed with this before?

I've worked from home a decent portion of my life and I'm an IT nerd to start so this hasn't been to hard for me. However earlier today I heard my wife on a conference all with a bunch of other non IT people and some of the older staff, especially the ladies but probably the guys quietly were...

I've been exploring the beer options here for a while now and the Stone and Wood Pacific Ale has been by far the best flavoured beer I've found so far. Maybe I'm spoiled by Canadian IPA's but they all seem very muted here, is that normal or am I just finding bad examples?

If in my attempt to make a Flanders Brown with what I have in my repetoir I were to use Kviek for the initial fermentation and then lambic yeast as a souring agent? I'm kind of curious if I can pull it off and it seems like I could then be all "I have a mixed fermentation beer (insert...

I'm kind of curious about messing around with letting my beers naturally carbonate in the keg even if just to get ahead of oxidation and reduce CO2 usage. Anyone made one and have a parts list handy or recommendations?

So I'm tinkering around with running 2 1500W heat sticks as possibly being my new boil system and I'm running into a mental block around controlling heat output once I get to the boil. I only have 120v in my garage and I'll just use two circuits but with the way I have it right now they are...

I'm flying into a conference on Sunday and will have most of that day and Monday to kill so it seems like an opportunity for a meetup. I'm going to be staying at Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center in Aurora so I don't really know where that is in relation to anything. Conversely, good...

So Northern Brewer Canada is closing it's doors, which is funny cause I didn't know they had opened. But while nothing really looks interesting this seems like a fantastic price for a Monster Mill package...

At least for this recipe, https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/750218/rabbit-s-revenge-white-ipl I've shared it out several times since last night and it never stays shared. I'm not sure what is going on.

I scored myself a fancy new SS Brewtech Brew Bucket and before I go visit family I want brew on Friday before Christmas. I'm not set on a Christmas beer but am mostly looking for ideas. An excuse to use my Kveik again would also be welcome. The keg is for scale, the bucket is considerably...

I am unable to add a value in amount box for hops while trying to build this. https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/736570/canadian-version-resilience-butte-county-proud-ipa I can't remember what we did last time this happened to fix it but the box is just greyed out while I can...

I am working on a modified version of https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/656007/sour-orange-creamsicle to make 2 kegs worth and so far I've increased the final volume and modified the goal ABV and I got the below as a result. I expect I can correct this after the fact but it was...

A buddy of mine I make beer for asked if I could make him one, but I've never put any time or thought into this area. Anyone know of a good recipe I can rip off?

I can't seem to find anything that matches up in a non liquid format. Has anyone had good success with any of the dry variants out there?

I make a Spice ale and the recipe calls for apples and it turned out well last year except I screwed myself trying to get the damned apples out of the brew kettle. Would replacing it with apple juice work? And if so in what ratio as apples obviously aren't pure juice. This is the recipe I'm...

I'm trying to build a new recipe and I can't click into the hop amount. I'm able to populate every other field but I can't seem to add anything to it. Using current version of Firefox on Windows 10.
