I'm going to try this recipe and I like these adjustments. Did you change the orange to lemon or did you add both?

Just started this batch last night. Everything came out great except my OG was a little low (1.042). Hopefully, it won't affect the final flavor too much.

Flying Fish's limited edition, NJ turnpike beer. Each exit on the NJ turnpike will get it's own beer named after it. Very good beer!

Thanks for all the good advise. I think I'm going to pitch the yeat into the seperate jugs. I use a counterflow heat exchanger, so it's easier for me to cool while racking to the smaller jugs. I don't want to introduce new containers by having to rack it to a bucket first, pitching the yeast...

Gases mixed based on partial pressures (pp) and they flow from high pressure to low pressure. If there is only CO2 and no O2, the pp_O2 = 0 and the oxygen in the atmosphere will diffuse into the vessel. An airlock doesn't give the O2 in the atmosphere a path to get in.

Hi, I've been extract brewing for almost a year now and recently bought a two gallon and 3 one gallon glass jugs. I haven't done smaller batches, but I figured this will let me play around with more recipe variations. My plan is to do a standard boil for a 5 gallon batch (the only size I've...

I want to try the extract recipe originally posted but I have a couple questions. 1. How much water did you use when you steeped the grains? 2. How big was your boil for this before adding the extracts? Thanks, hope it comes out as good as everyone else is saying.

Great design beerthrity...let me know if you need an assistant on your N. American beer tour. {YOU SUCK!} I have a dream to build a mini beer truck out of an enclosed trailer. Something like this: http://www.allstatetrailers.com/photos/023/10342023_1_b.jpg Cut out a spot for a window...

I’m upgrading some of my brewing equipment and I’m most excited about the 15 gallon brewpot with a ball valve. In order to reduce my physical activity I have a lot of food grade 3/8” ID copper tubing that I’m going to use to run the wort thru a counterflow heat exchanger before sending it to...

Thanks a lot everyone. I'm bottling a batch this weekend (cherry lager) and I'll try this method.

I’ve been doing extract brewing for the past year or so and I’m about to make the jump up to all-grain. After fermentation is complete, I bottle condition the beer. It doesn’t really matter whether I condition at room temperature or lager at cooler temperatures or let the beer mature for...
