I accidentaly deleted a recent brew session and requested a recovery via the contact form. To my surprise, the session reappeared shortly after my brew day. Must have been less than ten hours from request to recovery. Top marks for whomever it was! Considering there were several time zones...

Hi all! I would like to ask your common opinion on how to best utilize a bag of locally grown hops. Here's a little background for hop growing in Finland: Back in the 17th,18th and 19th century it was required by law for every land owner to grow a certain amount of hops for the crown. This law...

Hey guys and gals, long time no Brewing! I've got a tough choice to make and would love to have your insights. I'm planning to brew a simple sweet lager in a few days time and I need to make a decision between two different pilsner malts. The receipe looks roughly like this: 86% Pilsner malts...

Hey guys. Inspired by Rochefort and similar, this thing will fill our fermenter tomorrow. https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/741202/bire-du-chteau-d-ardennes Will be a split batch. 75% on WLP500 and 25% on the yeast harvested and nurtured from Rochefort 10 bottles. How does...

Hey all. My receipe for Bavarian weissbier calls for diluting the beer after the primary fermentation. How do I count for this in the brew log? The ratio is 20l to 25l (adding 25% water). Cheers!

Hello all! We transferred a batch of Baseline ale to get some cool treatment before bottling. This slightly agitated the yeast, which retalliated by launching some yeasty rockets towards the surface. This was most amusing and somewhat cute. Check it out!

Hello fellow brewers! We're attempting to create a sort of "go-to" ale for a summer wedding. We've created a Baseline Ale for a cliff to jump off from. Where should we take it from here? More hops perhaps? More amps and voltage? It should be a drinkable pale ale, that would please a wide range...

Hey. I know this issue has been around since the first ever batch of beer... ever. What do you guys do with your spent grains? Baking? Animal feed? Dog food? Maybe dog food? Perhaps mixed with vegetables and raw, fatty meat? We can't give it to farmers, as all livestock feed producers must be...

Hello people! Here's our batch #004 - a 1.112 OG Barley Wine. Has anyone seen this type of layering before? I've seen a four layer beer before, but the clear part has always been on top of the cloudy part. We used a large 2 quart starter and there was a lot of a hop trub in the wort. There's...

Hello all! We're a homebrew project spreading our wings and learning to fly...sparge... Or just to make a decent brew. We're a carage band with three chords and a baseline. We're hopping to make it big one day, but until then: "we're not wort it!" It's all big beers for us, plain and simple...
