    SafAle S-33 or an infection?

    This is probably a really stupid question to post but I'm going to anyway.... Has anyone used S-33 before? I wanted to try something new so I used it for a pale ale and the finished beer is NOT what I was expecting. I am trying to find out if it is/was my brewing or if it's the yeast that is...

    Fruity finish yeast

    Good day folks! I have been inspired to brew up a low ABV (3-4%) fruity cerveza. I would like to use a yeast that has a nice fruity finish. Preferably a dry yeast. Any suggestions?

    FG increased too much

    Good day. I did an edit on a recipe this morning and added a small amount of grains. BUT, the estimated FG jumped from 1.012 to 1.019. There is no way an extra kg of 2-row can account for that kind of jump in FG. Please double check the recipe builder FG calculations. Thanks!

    Spruce Tips

    I love spruce/pine flavored IPA's. I wanted to see what actual spruce tips might do but there is little in the way of recipes for one. The recipes I have found recommend between 4oz and 16oz of spruce tips (can be freeze dried and frozen variety.) I do BIAB/all grain and ferment about 6...

    The tips and tricks of experience

    Hey folks! I recently helped a friend out with thier very first brew!! While we were talking brewing I realized that I have developed more than a few of my own little brewing quirks that work for me but are not necessarily in a book. Such as elevating one side of the kettle after the boil to...

    Water Chemistry Calculator

    Good day! First, I'd like to say the recipe editor is mostly self explanatory and pretty well made. BUT, I still struggle with the water profiles and linking and adjusting the brew salts, etc. Is there any way to merge the water chem calculator to the main recipe builder page without the...

    Re-using 650 ml bomber bottles

    Good day!! I recently had someone tell me I should only be re-using my 650 ml bottles 4 or 5 times before I trash them. I built my supply by drinking the beer of commercially sold beers and cleaning the bottles out. I've been using some of my bottles for years. I check them each round for...

    Mash Temp and Flavor

    My latest obsession is learning more about mash temp and flavor impact. Specifically, BIAB method. I used a new kettle and new burner for my last batch of IPA. The wind blew out the burner during the infusion mash and I did not notice until the thermometer reached 144f at 30 minutes, then I...

    Hop Sock or Infuser

    I am thinking of refining my process a little. Up to now I just toss the hop pellets directly into the fermenter when I dry hop. I bottle all my brews (better for carrying to a friends backyard BBQ than a cornie). Avoiding hop debris has got to be easier than putting a strainer on the end of...

    Hops Schedule not printing

    Good day! When I try to print a finished recipe, the hop summary prints but not the hop schedule.
