Greetings all, Having trouble finding a supplier of BSG hops, since my local closed permanently back in Feb. I bought all he had of Hallertau the last week he was open, but now I'm running low and need more. I'm looking for online supplier for BSG Hallertau Mittlefruh. I have tried Yakima...

I was wondering if during all these updates, you're planning on updating the autocorrect dictionary to have more brew used words in it.?? For example why does it autocorrect trub to grub and hefe to here. I know there are a couple more that I can't think of right now.

the DI water I use has a low ph so went to change in water chem page and noticed on water chemistry page that a change to the ph of source water, without changing any other parameters, only affects the overall ph by 0.01 from 8 -4. source ph 8 to 5 = 5.53 ph 4 = 5.52...

Greetings all, I received a request to brew a dark mild and decided to try this for a first attempt, copied from John Palmer, Palmers English Mild - All Grain Mild Homebrew Beer Recipe - Brewer's Friend but have no idea what to use for water profile. I put in recipe, a profile that seemed...

Greetings, Was asked over the weekend if I could brew an Old English Brown Ale. Not my cup of tea but I thought I could give it a try with a small batch. Apparently he is looking for something that has a sweet, caramel, toasty flavor profile. From my reading it seems these are very low...

So, spent the last couple days on hobbybrauer.de and reading all that german got me to reminiscing about way back days and the first beer I ever liked. Back when it was ok for gramps to give lil ones a sip of beer. :D My granddad let me have some of his Hamms. I had tasted beer before, PBR...

Just wanted to say Happy Festivus to anyone else out there who doesn't celebrate the religious holidays this time of year. The feats of strength will be after dinner. Happy solstice to my wiccan friends, may the new year be successful and prosperous.

Went and purchased a few bags of grain to save myself the 150mile round trip to LHBS for next 6 months and as I was halfway home, realized I forgot to get Acidulated Malt. Any weizen/weissbier brewers know of a suitable substitute I can find at grocery/box store?? I use this in every Weissbier...

As I was watching a few brewing vids, I noticed that Oxyclean was mentioned in quite a few videos. This got me curious if anyone has tried comparing effects Starsan, PBJ, and Oxyclean and noticed any significant difference in the 3 products?? I use Starsan myself, but have no experience with...

Greetings all, Need to get a batch of weissbier going for hockey season and my local store was out of 3056, and my normal online suppliers seem to be out of stock also. Anyone have any suggestions for something similar i could use instead, I am not a fan of weihenstephan 3068. Thanks for any...

Greetings, After so much reading I think I wore out my spectacles, I think I have narrowed down the ingredients in Erdinger Weissbier. Finally found a hops list but no amounts or times of course. Trying to use the 3 hops but not sure if I have the order right. I am going for low bitterness...

I called you Vienna Weizen. You were a good beer, you will be missed. You were not the best beer I have ever had, however you were the best I have ever produced. Your hint of spice and sweet maltiness, made me drink you faster than I should have. You will be fondly remembered, especially...

Greetings all, Since bottling has become the most time consuming part of my brewing, I am looking to get a bench bottle capper to replace the cheap dbl handle one I now use. Can anyone recommend one brand over another, or is there little difference between the $60 and $100 models? As...

Greeting all, Have spent the last 2 hours searching and reading about water profiles and additions. I am planning on using R/O water for next batch of weiss beer and am having trouble finding a target profile for hefe/ weiss beers. I have seen alot for pilsners and stouts but not one that gives...

Just finished reading BF blog on wheat beer and in the middle you put up the complete wrong pronunciation of the word hefeweizen . I would expect better from this wonderful site. hay-fuh-vy-tsen is not even close and I can't figure how this became the norm. In German an e is never said...

A half a lifetime back, as a young army private I had my first enjoyable beer in a Fest tent in Nuernberg germany. I had drank beer at school parties , ( back when it was easy to get beer as a teen, especially when my family ran a bar ) but only to be socialable and I never actually enjoyed...

Greetings all, I brewed a Honey Weiss 60% Wheat 40% 2 row with a pound of honey added at end of boil. Turned out so good my wife, (who doesn't like beer supposedly :) ) drank half of it. Now getting ready to make another batch for her and was wondering if using a pound or two of honey wheat...

Greetings all, I have been looking for reusable labels, as a gift for buddy who introduced me to this overly addictive hobby:)) As with all things, internet search has revealed too many options again. I am leaning towards beer clings. BeerClings.com Having no experience with labels I would...

To squeze or not squeeze that is the question. Going to try a BIAB next week and noticed there is much conflicting info on squeezing grain bag to squeeze "all the good stuff" out. I haven't done BIAB before, but you don't reach into mash tun and squeeze (ok now thats enough use of that...

Greetings all, I need a grain mill, and was wondering if anyone could suggest a good quality table clamp mill. I see there are many available for less than $40-50 but since it is hard to inspect quality on the internet. :))) hoping that maybe i could get feedback here from real users on what...
