John replied to the topic Best way to add coffee? in the forum Ingredients 1 week ago
In the past I have just added cold brew when I keg, but the president of my homebrew club game me this advice that I’m going to try next time I brew something with coffee:
Just lightly grind some nice dark roasted beans and pit them in a beer bottle. Fill the bottle to cover the beans only then cap. Shake every day. On day 5 dump in the…[Read more]

Hi Amanda! I bought one of my keezers pre-built and lightly used, and it’s been fine! I do recommend that you take apart the taps fully and clean them VERY well, and I also would buy new beer lines to replace the ones that come with it (I replace mine fairly regularly anyway). Beer line is really cheap on Amazon, too – https://amzn.to/3gsmBSa

I’ve been meaning to post this for a while because it turned out AWESOME and I wanted to give a plug to @hopofthemonthclub for sending me these super cool small farm hops to use! I had to modify the grain bill quite a bit because I couldn’t access the recommended grains, but this turned out really solid and if you can get the hops I recommend it!…[Read more]

Hi Everyone! I just wanted to share a recipe that I threw together at the last second with largely just things I had on hand for an impromptu brew day. I just took the first sip of it and it’s actually pretty good! It’s hazy/New England-ISH, but not really a NEIPA. It’s a little hazy (that may clear after I get the first pint or two out of the…[Read more]

John replied to the topic Tap beer at home in the forum Home Breweries 1 week, 2 days ago
Hey Anthony! Homebrewing is an awesome and rewarding hobby, and there is nothing cooler than having beer on tap at home! The easiest and least expensive way to get started depends on the batch size you plan on starting to brew. If you start with small, 1-gallon batches like most people do (like with one of these kits: https://amzn.to/2M2bNMy), you…[Read more]

I have been looking at getting the Anvil Foundry system. It seems like a lot of people say that’s the best one for the money.

Was it an all grain batch? Your mash temp may be holding back attentuating further. You’ll have less fermentable sugars at higher mash temps.

Hahaha, honestly you’re probably right. I just have a weird drive to try something completely different and weird right now. The seltzer is not a bad idea – that would be a really cheap way to give it a shot and I wouldn’t be heartbroken if I thought it was awful and I wanted to just throw it away. Maybe I’ll give it a shot.

Ok, so I know how bad of an idea this might be, but I can’t help but asking. Have any of you brewed a hard coffee? I keep hearing about the Pabst Hard Coffee that came out recently and, despite my best efforts, I’m kind of intrigued. I know you can just throw some whiskey in coffee, but was curious if anyone did a “homebrewed” version. Thanks!

John replied to the topic Irish Red Ale in the forum Recipe Ideas 2 months, 2 weeks ago
We did a Toasted Irish Red that I want to tweak and try again sometime soon. It didn’t come out great but I think it was more of a process problem than it was a recipe problem:
Toasted Irish Red (5.5 Gal)
Estimated O.G. = 1.052
Estimated F.G. = 1.012
Estimated ABV = 5.25%
Estimated Bitterness = 25 IBUs10 lbs. Maris Otter Malt
