Grolsch-style flip top bottles

I have a bunch of Liter bottles with the flip top on them. I've used them a couple times, and love them on Bottling day: they are much faster than 12oz bottles. However, I believe I am wearing out...

I have been using a blow off tube in my primaries (not to hijack this thread) but I don't think it is wide enough.
I just did a coffee stout from 4#'s of LME, 6#'s of DME, and a now unknown yeast,...

I know I am SUPPOSED to take readings, but... I have nailed most of my problems to temp so far. Plus I have only done extracts to this point. Though, it would be nice to know the alcohol content of...

Yes, I agree with the blow-off tubes for Primary. Even so, I still get explosions every now and again.
And yes, I agree it may be too late for this batch. I had similar problems with my first...

The temp thing is right on. I think about it now, my first attempts were in a thrid floor, Heat-and-hot-water included apartment. Couldn't turn the heat below 75F. Had eventually to wrap a wet...

First "Good" Batch...

I put a batch of (yes I know it's late) Oktoberfest into a carboy as a secondary and tasted a little of it while waiting for the Primary bucket to drain. Tasted actually pretty good. Which is a...

Messy Brew Pot

I've just acquired a turkey fryer. (YAY!) my problem with it is the fryer itself was brand new, had to be assembled, but the pot had been used to boil Maple syrup and is full of charred nastiness. ...

Your wanting to drink more than 5 is an interesting question. I know I love to drink beer, and once I get going, I don't like slowing down, let alone stopping. I also know SWMBO gets cranky if I do...

gave a range from 15-34C. 15C works to roughly 59F ... SO I'm just not going to worry. If nothing happens, bubble-wise, I'll move the primary upstairs...

Fermentation temps too low..?

Can Primary temps be too low? My Basement is a nice steady 60F right now and I was a little overzealous with my batch of Oktoberfest (yes Im way too late, sorry) and pitched at about 60 as well. ...

I didn't even think of that. The yeast I used was a liquid yeast, I forget the name brand, but the HBS owner suggested it when I mentioned I was doing a wheat brew. It didn't need a starter or...

disappointing aroma

I am little disappointed. I just racked to secondary with my first wheat (trying to do what someone touted as a Blue Moon clone, one of my favorites) and I have to admit, I hated the smell. I...

Priming: Sugar vs DME vs ???

I went to local HBS, presumably to pick up some sugar to prime the Blue Moon clone (*fingers crossed*) I've got in the primary right now. He mentioned that for it to truly be original, it should be...

Old Kit, Still usable?

Went to a friend's to watch the "Big Game" tonight and he popped out with an old True Brew kit (Amber ale) from when he did the whole HB thing, 6 or 7 years ago. Part DME part LME, I am assuming the...

Using this recipe, do I still have to prime with sugar? I am assuming so, since it calls for adding the honey to the boil. Would honey work as a primer? Or stick with good ole' brewer's stuff?
