• Posted in thread: My first run with my all electric brewery on 05-15-2013 at 12:49 AM
  I'm planning an electric brew setup in the future and was wondering how well the Bayou Classic
  pots hold up against the Boilmaker? I plan on using the Boilmaker as my mash tun, but it would
  be cheaper...

• Posted in thread: Best Burner for 5 gallons brews? on 04-17-2013 at 10:41 PM
  If homebrewing is something that you're going to continue doing for years to come I would
  purchase a Blichmann burner. They run about $150 and an extra $40 if you get the legs, but
  they're worth penny...

• Posted in thread: Need help with a porter on 04-17-2013 at 09:32 PM
  I was brewing at a friends house so I'm not sure what his water profile is. How does one go
  about finding this information out?

• Posted in thread: Need help with a porter on 04-17-2013 at 09:14 PM
  I've been brewing regularly for the past year and a half and usually end up with a delicious
  final product. I mostly brew Pale Ales, IPAs, Brown Ales, Hefewiezens, and Belgian style beers.
  Those beers...

• Posted in thread: Introducing the topless beer can on 04-11-2013 at 05:35 AM
  I really need to try some Sly Fox beer. I'm from PA and have been enjoying the likes of Troegs
  and Victory for years, but have never had a single brew from Sly Fox. A local distributor
  carries their 1...

• Posted in thread: So who's worked in their main electrical panel? on 04-11-2013 at 03:30 AM
  As long as you shut off your main breaker you'll be relatively safe. You can actually hook up a
  30 or 50amp 2-pole breaker for you e-brewery without actually turning the main breaker off. You
  just nee...

• Posted in thread: Buying Liquid yeast online/shipping on 03-28-2013 at 08:18 PM
  The man at Austin supply continued to tell me that it should be alright and that he has seen
  yeast be sent to Canada two weeks away and being alright, but then said he's had cases where he
  brought it ...

• Posted in thread: Buying Liquid yeast online/shipping on 03-28-2013 at 08:14 PM
  I only bought liquid yeast once online. It was many years ago before I discovered the local
  Homebrew Store. It was a WLP strain for a stout, however I don't recall which strain, I believe
  I ordered it...

• Posted in thread: US-05 (dry) vs WY1056 (liquid) - My tests/results on 03-28-2013 at 08:06 PM
  I agree that they're both similar. If I'm lazy and don't feel like making a starter I just pick
  up some 05. However, I do notice that WLP001 tends to accentuate the hop bitterness more in my
  IPA and P...

• Posted in thread: Headwaters Pale Ale Clone on 03-28-2013 at 07:57 PM
  I've brewed this beer on three separate occasions last year. I've experimented with different
  yeast strains and found that WLP001 works the best, Safeale05 comes in a close second. I've had
  a number o...
