Oh--sorry--lets go $500 or best offer for everything. I will edit the original post.

Honestly I am just looking to get rid of it so I am just going with the first reasonable offer. I am not really set on a price.

Complete Homebrewing/Kegging Set for sale. Would like $500 for everything but no reasonable offers will be refused. Set includes: -Cooler Mash Tun -7 Gallon Carboy -5 Gallon Carboy -2 Plastic Fermenting buckets -Immersion Chiller -Bottling Bucket and equipment -Over 200 bottles -2 cases of...

I had huge efficiency issues also when I first started all grain. I spent hours searching threads on here and tweaking different things. There are two changes I made that I feel made the biggest difference. First was stirring the living crap out of the mash at the end of the 60mins and...

Great advice everyone--thanks for the help.

So--I have been brewing the recipe below for a couple of years. The actual recipe calls it a cream ale but it is not close to any cream ale I have ever had before. I do really like the recipe though and I make it all the time. It occurred to me the other day that this recipe would probably be...

I have never heard of a cloudy ipa before today. I realize I am old school-at 50+ I am allowed to be--but to me that looks like orange juice and I would have a tough time with it. I am sure it tastes great but to me beer should be clear unless something is messed up or it is a wheat. Granted...

Like I said--my goal was not to slam a business--just solicit advice as to if I should say anything. Those are some pretty impressive Google skills however.

Wow--I am pretty surprised at how many replies this got. I dont think I can remember all the questions posed but here goes: 1) My main motivation in giving them advice would be because I would hate to see another business go belly up in this town. The economy here sucks bad enough and the...

To clarify--it is a really small town so everybody "knows" everybody. If I see the owners in the store I say "hi" but is not like I am having them over for dinner and drinks on a nightly basis. As far bringing them my product--I am still finding and correcting problems with every brew--I think...

Here is an odd question for you: So--recently a new brewery opened up in our little town. I have gone in twice now to purchase growlers because that is their only take home option and I cant sample there because the "trendy" crowd annoys me ( :D ). The first beer I took home was a brown and...

I think is was 1.09ish prior to the sugar if I remember the measurement right. After 2mos it was down to 1.012 and it is currently in bottles aging with the hopes of a first taste on New Years

I just did my first big beer and asked the same question here. The answer I got was to skip the sugar initially and then when active fermentation slows way down--then pitch the sugar. I guess if you add the sugar too early the yeast eats it and then has trouble downing the more complex carbs...

I used it for the first time on my last batch and I love it. No more hovering over the kettle with my stupid spray bottle. Also--I am a kettle dumper and just dump my whole kettle into the fermenter after cooling. I swear the krausen on this batch was 1/3 of what I usually get. No...
