Well this was stupid. I was about to dry hop my IPA and measured out the hops into a sanitized bowl. As I was putting the hops into the fermenter, somehow the bowl slipped and fell into my delicious beer. What's worse is that completely reflexively I went in straight after it and pulled it out...

For the first two days of fermentation I got a lot of nice fermentation aromas, but didn't see any airlock activity. That's when I noticed my fermenter wasn't completely sealed. After cursing a bit I closed it properly, and shortly after the airlock started going wild. Now it's day nine so I...

Wanted to ask this as a generic question, but not sure how, so here's my specific case. I acquired some truffles, and of course I went straight to Mosher's Radical Brewing to see if he recommended anything. Of course there's an idea for a truffle beer in there. Decided to do a split batch and...

I'm not too sure about the proportions of the grains, but here's what I've come up with so far: Base: Pale Ale (63.3%) Vienna (13.9%) Brown Malt (8.2%) Crystal: CaraHell 25EBC (4.4%) CaraAroma 150EBC (3.2%) Dark: Pale Chocolate Malt (7%) Aiming for 1.079. I seem to remember...

I'm using Danstar Nottingham for the first time. I made a starter and dumped it into 1.052 wort, and it seemed to take off quite nicely. Airlock activity within a few hours. It started a bit hot, at about 73F, but I managed to cool it down to 65-67 by moving it to the basement and wrapping it in...

Prepping for brewing this weekend and to my horror this is what I saw at the bottom of my fermenter . Yeech. It seemed to originate in that hole where you can fit a spout, seemed to be particularly full of nasties. So what do I need to do? I've rinsed it with hot water and scrubbed, then filled...

I'm brewing next weekend and admittedly the recipe is largely dictated by what I have left over in my basement. Planning to open the first bottle for the World Cup final, so that's a bit my theme here. I'm supporting Belgium, so I'm going for a saison, I want it red-tinted like the football...

I'm originally from Iceland but have been living in Belgium for 7 years now. A long time fan of beer, but really got the beer bug badly after moving here. Finally started brewing myself earlier this year. Just did my fourth batch and looking forward to many more. Found this site when looking...

My oatmeal stout has been fermenting for 10 days now, but is only at 1.020 from 1.050. I was expecting something closer to 1.012. I'm leaving the country for two weeks on Saturday and was hoping to bottle it before then, but now I'm afraid it'll get over carbonated. I guess my options are: 1...
