• Posted in thread: What's your brewery name? on 02-08-2013 at 10:37 PM
  West Branch Brew & Tap. Kind of self explanatory. I live on the West Branch River and we
  converted our kitchen into a tap room where I also brew. It's the same house I grew up in. I
  try to name the be...

• Posted in thread: Split Fermentation, One Working, One Not on 11-12-2012 at 09:31 PM
  I just brewed up a 10.5 gallon ale this past weekend and put 5.25 gallons each into 2 primary
  bucket fermenters and added a vial of White Labs WLP 051 to each after aerating both with
  oxygen. Everythi...

• Posted in thread: Fermentation In Keg on 09-27-2012 at 02:14 AM
  I was just sitting here thinking about this and it just struck me that I didn't put CO2 to the
  keg at all to disperse any oxygen that would be in there after I transferred the beer. Is that
  something ...

  I just went to keg a 10 gallon batch into 2 kegs and noticed by the hydrometer reading that it
  looks like it should ferment more. It'd been fermenting in the primary for a week and longer
  than that in...

  I just tried the swamp cooler idea since reading this. The real high temps are about over now
  though but thought I'd try it anyway.

  Airborneguy, I was hoping that might be the case. The fermentation did start pretty well before
  the heat set in so I'm hoping for minimal impact. I'm going to be transferring it to the
  secondary tomor...

  OK, so I brewed a 10 gallon batch a week ago which was last Friday evening. Here in the
  northeast we've had a few days of mid to upper 90 degree heat. Our old house doesn't have AC
  and the room where ...

• Posted in thread: Extreme Cooler Mash Tun in Winter on 06-19-2012 at 12:52 AM
  I wasn't sure where this should go so I put it here. I was just thinking about making a single
  tier brew structure after my last 10 gallon batch and the challenges it gave me. Having
  everything organi...

• Posted in thread: Official Broken Carboy Count. on 06-19-2012 at 12:44 AM
  One broken, probably due to letting PBW sit in it too long. It was empty and had been sitting
  there some time since I last used it. Went to pick it up and the bottom stayed on the floor!
  Checked 3 oth...

• Posted in thread: Trying to Troubleshoot a Lingering Bitter Aftertaste on 04-11-2012 at 01:15 AM
  I've had some brews I've done have a bitter after taste and can't figure out why. Right now I
  don't think it's the water because I did a batch at my brothers place with him once using his
  well water a...
