What a Merry Christmas this will be for someone.

Sweet Milk Stout - All-Grain Recipe Kit. The 12th is my birthday! Would be a nice present.

Boulevard "Spring Belle" Saison with flowers. Pretty tasty.

I completed my first all grain brew this weekend (finally graduated from extract). I made a Wit Bier and my question is about the priming sugar when it comes time. This Wit Bier was my first home brew a year ago when I started and it was an extract. When it came time to bottle, it called for 1...

I appreciate everyone's input, suggestions and ideas. After thinking things over, I decided to switch gears a little. I did a lot of researching on this site and decided to make a mash tun using FlyGuy's tutorial on the 10 gallon Rubbermaid cooler. I then purchased a 10 gallon kettle from Spike...

Even with the elevation issue, why would the thermometer not stay calibrated? I have emailed Bayou Classic several time and have not gotten a response from them. Kind of sorry now I bought their product.

Seahawks, 37

I've run two through mine and doing a third this weekend. I changed the first ball out after 7-8 days. Then when the fermentation is done, I transfer to a bottling bucket and there is a little trub that still comes out. What I found is to change the second ball about 1-2 days before I am going...

I got my new 10 gal Bayou Classic kettle this week and getting things ready for my first BIAB this weekend. What is the best way to calibrate the thermometer. It only goes down to 60 so I can't go with the ice/water. I already boiled some water and calibrated it to my digital thermometer. The...

I'll give it a try.
