Has anybody seen this or downloaded it? I just found it on youtube.... wanted to see if anyone has gone for it before I do... lol Hop Control

Hi folks, I'm fermenting a Belgian golden strong currently, OG 1.072, and I'd like to get it down to 1.008ish. It's at 1.015 as of last night and it looks like it's starting to slow down, today is day 8. So I guess my question is, what would be an appropriate time/gravity/amount to add sugar to...

Okay, so I want to implement a mash cap and was thinking about purchasing the NorCal Brewing set-up. @Bilsch and Bracc (RIP) had helped design it, but it needs more. Has anybody used that piece, either the way it was sold or any mods to it? If not, what's your set-up? Pictures appreciated. I...

I'm fermenting out a hazy made with Voss and it's pretty much done. According to BeerSmith, I'm at 77.9% attenuation. OG 1.076, current FG is 1.016. The Voss beers I've done in the past usually end up at 80%+ I would like it to keep it where it is now as I don't want it to get any drier...

Hey All, I'm going to HomeBrew Con and I want to bring a keg, but due to scheduling, I would only have a week to get it in the keg and ready for transport. I've used Voss Kveik several times before and can produce a reasonable IPA in that time, but is there any other style/yeast I could use to...

I searched around but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for.... I'm brewing a NEIPA tomorrow using 4oz hops for DH (4oz in WP too) and Cosmic Punch. Also adding some Phantasm... My plan is to brew again using the same grain bill and hop schedule (using different hops) on the day I'm...

Ok, not sure what's happening here... went to take a gravity reading out of the Flex+ and it came out all foam. The beer is a hazy fermented with Voss. I pitched it Sunday afternoon at 82F and let it go for 48h.It pushed out a full keg of starsan and I stuck a spund on it and set it to 15psi...

So I've had this issue crop up a few times now and I'm not sure why. Whats happening is my post boil gravity is not what it's suppose to be. Mash goes fine, no issues, hit my number just fine. Sparge is fine, came within 3 points. Pre-boil gravity today was 1.051, was looking for 56... close...

I watched a video recently where a pro-brewer mentioned that he layers the different grains into the mash. He was talking about brewing stouts and I believe he said he puts the stickier stuff (oats etc..) on top. Has anyone heard of this before?

I need to build a stand/cart for my grain mill and I need some ideas. Right now I just have the mill screwed to a piece of plywood plopped over a bucket sitting on the floor. My old knees and back need it off the floor and on wheels. Let's see what you got!

Good Morning! I'm doing a strong bitter today and I bought some burton salts when I was at the LHBS. I normally just use RO water and adjust with separate salts, but I saw that sitting there and what the hell... So my question is... how do I use this? I'm doing a 5g batch...

Hello All... I'm 3 brews in on my Kal-clone-ish system and I have questions about my boil-off rate... First of all, I'll describe my system for you. I have 15g Spike+ kettles with a 5500w heating element controlled by a Auber Brew Buddy II wired to 240v, the amp meter displays 22.1a at full...

Happy Thanksgiving All! I'm a little undecided about what to do.... I have a winter spiced beer that's pretty much hit final... I going to add another tincture of coco nibs, orange peel and vanilla. My original plan was to transfer to secondary over the tincture and let it sit for a week. I'm...

I'm thinking of brewing a Tropical Stout type beer and would like to get folks opinions/suggestions on the recipe. I had a commercial brew last year called Motor Oil from Alvarado St. that was quite tasty that I would like to recreate. The issue with that is I'm working from memory and if I...

I'm doing my first water only run-through of my 3V HERMS with a Brew Buddy II. I had set the boil control at 212* for 1 hour. I hit the RUN button, covered the kettle and went back inside because it's 100* in the garage. Came back out 20 min. later to check on it and it was already boiling...

I have a couple of cans that are about a month old and would like to propagate a batch off of them. My plan is to do a starter of about .75L to begin with, then step up to 1.5L and pitch that. Does this sound reasonable? I've never done this before (propagate off a commercial beer, I've done...

Hello All, I'll be putting together an eHERMS build in my garage and I thought I'd document it here and take advantage of the hive mind. I'll try to do this in some sort of systematic way, but who knows...lol. I've decided to get the bulk of my parts from Brew Hardware and build/use a Brew Buddy...

Hey Everyone, long time reader (lurker), only posted a few times. I thought I'd introduce myself as I'm starting an electric 3v system build shortly. I hope to start and keep up a build thread to get advise and let you good folks poke holes in my plans. But first, some background.... I started...

I would like to brew a peanut butter oatmeal stout without using any of that dry peanut butter stuff. I used it once and didn't like the way it turned out. A local brewery makes one that is outstanding and would like to replicate it. It's states right in the the description "NO PEANUT ALLERGY...
