Anybody brew a clone or have a recipe? Probably my favorite beer...at least at the moment. Kinda interested in cloning it, but more interested in using it as a jumping off point for coming up with a go to hazy ipa recipe. I know MT has some homebrew versions of their beers or there, but it did...

Where we live, there a bunch of crickets. Had a particularly loud one in our laundry room tonight. I actually found the little bastard. Then there was another right after that...in the laundry room. Went looking, and turns out there were 2 more, coming in where the plumbing comes in through the...

Overbuilt an A10 Darkness starter for my annual Christmas porter, and I am looking for a stout recipe to use it the rest of it in. Milk...oatmeal...sweet...whatcha got? Not looking for an imperial, probably want something with a little quicker turnaround.

Have a nice RIS that was brewed March 2018, bottled in Dec. Brewed with some yeast (I can't remember, I'd have to look it up if the strain matters), and I bottled it with cbc-1 cask yeast. Problem is, I had a bad capper, so no carbonation. Capper has been replaced, and beers are carbed...

I am at a bit of a crossroads, and would love some input. I haven't brewed in about 9 mos. Since my wife was 4ish mos pregnant with our first. My beer was coming out good for the most part, but I was running into 2 issues. 1. No carb. 2. An off flavor from all of my clean, hoppy beers. The...

My wife and I are expecting our first in Dec. I am looking to brew this beer to kind of clear out some of the stuff I have on hand. Hence some of the oddball amounts on some things. Open to thought, or suggestions. If there is a hop that you think should be in the mix, throw it out there...I...

Not sure what is going on. But I seemed to be plagued by a lack of carbonation lately. Am I just rushing things? I typically go 3-4 weeks in primary, then bottle, then wait 3-6 weeks depending on the style. I do a lot of pales and IPAs, so those I tend to give closer to 3 weeks. I usually...

Hey Guys, I have a newer setup that I am using, I do 2.5-3gal no sparge BIAB with a 5.5gal SS Brewtech kettle. This weekend I am doing a RIS, and it is my first big beer with this setup. For 3 gal, I have just north of 11lbs of grains, and I am looking at 4.6gal of strike water. Think...

Maybe a dumb question, but I am getting ready to brew a RIS, and this will be my first go at bulk aging. Plan is to ferment for 4 weeks, then move to a BB carboy until about Oct/ Nov. Temp? Do I put an airlock on it? Or seal it?

I have had some oxidation issues with the last couple of brews I did, and that got me looking at my process. FTR, I do not think adding dry hops is the problem, it was an issue with my transfer to bottles. But that got me looking at things, and I started reading more about adding dry hops...

So I just pulled a sample to check my FG and to dry hop my current batch I have fermenting. For the first time I got serious about my water. 100% RO, gypsum, ca chloride, epsom salt, and some lact acid to bring my pH down. Based on the sample I took...best beer I have brewed to date...

Looking to brew a beer for family and friends for the dinner the night before Thanksgiving. Dinner will be brisket (I've also been voluntold to smoke a brisket) with pumpkin gnocchi. I was thinking of BierNumncher's centennial blonde dry hopped with Lemondrop hops, but the pumpkin gnocchi...

Hey All, My wife and I are heading to the Central Coast for Thanksgiving with family and friends. I thought it would be cool to bring a small batch of some homebrew. The crowd will be a mix of some beer drinkers and some not big beer drinkers (a couple that are more wine drinkers than beer...

I haven't brewed from a kit in awhile, but I was looking through some online, and there is some interesting looking kits out there. How do they typically ship the grains? All bagged together? Or bagged individually? I brew smaller batches than 5g,and I am wondering if I could split them up.

So I am sorta looking to clone my wife's favorite beer. It's Golden Roads Tart Mango Cart...I know, I know, evil ABInbev, help me make something that will keep my wife from throwing money at them! Full disclosure, I haven't really done anything with souring. I'm not a huge fan of it myself, so...

So I am curious...when or how do people justify upgrades to their setup? I am currently a small batch brewer. 1.25g batches. I am seriously eyeballing a SS Brewtech 2.5gal kit. It comes with a 5g kettle, a 3g brew bucket, and a FTSs. I would like to increase my yield, but I would like to...

Hey All, I have an NZ/ AU hop IPA chilling right now, and this is by far the biggest time suck of brewing. I have a SS coil chiller, but for this brew I didn't even bother. Honestly, I don't see much of a difference in the time it takes to chill down my wort to a pitching temp with the...

I have an IPA in primary now, and I have a different IPA as my next brew. I want to bottle on a Saturday, then brew the next batch on a Sunday. Can I just throw the fermentor in the fridge with the yeast cake, and reuse it the next day?

Hey all, I am looking at getting a clone of this brewing before the summer heat runs out (and in AZ this year, it's been hot AF!). Honestly, it's not really my thing, but my wife LOVES this beer, it is without a doubt her favorite. According to their marketing slick... A series...

So these are the stages of brewing that I have gone through. None of it is bad, all needed steps IMO. Just as FYI, I am a small batch, BIAB brewer. Stage 1 - Proof of Concept. I started out making lots of kits...only kits. My questions was...can I make drinkable beer. The answer was yes...
