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...

Need help with a porter

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...

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...

Honestly, I think you should support your local Homebrew shop, even if the yeast is $1 more there. My local Homebrew shop actually sells most ingredients @ cost of major online retailers or lower.

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...

Headwaters Pale Ale Clone

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...

I fermented around 67-68°F for ~13 days if I recall correctly. It took a little longer than most ale yeasts I usually use. I didn't notice any off flavors not associated with the yeast profile. There...

The batch using WLP041 became tainted and never mellowed out. I decided to dump ~2 gallons into a corny keg that had a little black IPA left in it. I was hoping the dark beer would take away some of...

I made an IPA a few weeks ago that ended up with 4oz of leaf hops in the fermentation bucket. This led to the beer being really cloudy. I cold crashed it in the fridge and added some gelatine. It...

Looks like I'm going to be getting a Thermapen. It'll be worth it in the long run, I've probably gone through that much already in garbage thermometers. My birthday is coming up in a few days, now I...

I understand that the temp may have been a few degrees high, but I've fermented with WLP041 at higher temps in the past without the Alcohol/Solvent flavors and aroma.

I'm thinking the hops in the...

I always rehydrate dry yeast. It helps kill sometime while the beer is cooling. It doesn't look right dumping little tiny balls into the beer. I like to dump a slurry of yeast into my beer. It...
