Beer gives delivered to us in all different shapes and sizes. From kegs to bottles to cans, there seems to be an unlimited array of beer containers. We’ve decided to create a handy chart to...
The standard production process of hops had always been to pelletize whatever wasn’t used fresh. Pelletization consisted of machinery that dried, milled, then pelletized the hops into those tiny little pellets we...
I’ve tried a lot of yeasts over my time brewing. I’ve always been an IPA guy. I started out brewing west coast IPAs and stouts, but lately have been focusing primarily on New England “Hazy” IPAs...
Craft breweries started out as an urban-only amenity back in the 2000s. However, lately they have been moving into more rural communities, and the benefits have been astounding. According to Bart Watson, chief economist...
I have a problem. I say I like to try new things, but I also am afraid of failing with expensive hops which would force me to dump my pricey work down the drain. For the first couple years of brewing New England-style...
I was extremely excited when I decided to upgrade from my starter kit’s glass carboy to my first stainless steel fermenter. I compared 5 different kinds, and ultimately decided on the Delta 8-gallon FermTank. Here...
I’m a statistics nerd and love working with data. It is one of the reasons I built BeerMaverick in the first place. I noticed that the massive amounts of data surrounding hops and beer yeast were scattered across...
I do a lot with data on this site. Most of our data-themed articles are surrounding hops, and its for a couple of good reasons. Hops simply have more data around them, and it is usually scattered across multiple sites...
Earlier this spring, Hang ’em High Hops reached out to us to see if there was any interest in running brewing trials with their versions of proprietary Great Lake Hops (GLH). We jumped at the chance because their...
Don’t confuse these with your grandpa’s O’doul’s. While these brews might be (very) light on alcohol, the new breed of NA beers pack a ton of flavor and nuance. In fact, this is the first thing...
A few months ago, I decided that force carbonating my kegs from inside my kegerator was beginning to be too much work. The single set of CO2 lines weren’t quite long enough to stretch outside the fridge for proper...
As a home brewer, how you’ve chilled your wort has probably gone through a few iterations over the years. If you were anything like me, you started with an ice bath, then quickly upgraded to an immersion or plate...
Brewers and drinkers alike know all about the most popular hops in use today. These hops are used everywhere and so well known due to a couple primary reasons: First, as IPAs have grown to be almost half of every...
I – like many homebrewers – started out as an extract brewer. It was far and away the cheapest way to get into the hobby and see if it was something I wanted to spend more time and money on. After my second...
When brewing a hop-heavy beer like an IPA, brewers know that at lest half of their budget will be taken up by the hops. Varieties like Galaxy, Citra, Sabro and Nelson Sauvin all break the bank when it’s time to...
Hop shoots are the new asparagus. They look similar, and have a similar taste, but they come from very different plants. Hop shoots are the green tips of the hop plant, which are harvested from the parts of the plant...
