Low ABV Hoppy Wheat Ale

I've been collecting recipes for beers that would be great to drink while tailgating before American football games this fall. Light, low abv, but still flavorful. James Spencer (of Basic Brewing Radio/Video fame) has been experimenting with ultra low gravity rye beers for a few years now with repor...

Shouldn't get a wheatbeer to go clear, they're supposed to be cloudy ;) Did you start at 12'C and raise or just go 18'C? I haven't noticed much of a difference between the two. Haha, yeah, I was really referring to the really thick layer of krausen on top. I pitched at 16C (60F) and let it rise to ...

How'd it go? Be interested if you can remember your OG etc. Well, it went okay but I had a few problems. First, I found my hydrometer broken so I wasn't able to record any gravity measurements. Then when it came time to keg, I think I over carbonated it because there was some sort of off-flavor tha...

I think they are filling a void in the marketplace for home brewing data/experimentation. I don't think they will ever get to a point where you and I are fully satisfied with the data. My hope is that someone who can really do this stuff right comes along and usurps them and really starts answering ...

Brulosophy has a few brewers who perform the experiments. There are definitely a few problems with what they do, not repeating experiments is one of them. But I get why they don't - people want them to constantly test new things and new variables, their blog would be kinda boring if they tested the ...

Calculating IBU's

I was reading the May 2nd post on brulosophy.com comparing a hop stand to a traditional 20 min hop addition when and I came across a paragraph that I thought this site would appreciate: "... These results also leave me curious about IBU formulas. The boiled hops batch was projected to be at 115 IBU ...

I agree with everyone on the yeast topic. It will especially be a problem if you are fermenting at high temps as the ester production in Belgian yeast strains are already high and will be even greater than at lower temps. Safale s-04 would be a good choice if you want a little bit of ester productio...

I second Mally's take. It was once thought (somewhat recently too) that if you left your beer sitting on the yeast for two plus weeks that you would get some off-flavors from yeast autolysis. That has been mostly disregarded at this point. I would drop the fruit in after active fermentation is compl...

As Joshua said, mashing in a cooler is an option - often what I do. If you follow this route you are only limited by what you can fit into your kettle for the boil. Another option is to not do a full volume mash, but add a portion of the strike water after the mash is complete. This will buy you a l...

Hi guys, I'm looking to get in to BIAB and would like to brew on my stove top. I've been reading up a lot but i'm struggling to get an answer on what size pot is ideal. I've seen this pot: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Buckingham-Stainless-Steel-Stock-X-Large/dp/B002YK2ERG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=14558308...
