I searched but didn't see a thread about brewing this day. I'm just curious who will be off of work, brewing a batch of homebrew, and enjoying the phenomenon. I had some Chinooks finish up a little early on the bines. Just a simple 8% IPA will do for me. Any one else like the idea of an...

Hello everyone :) So far I have made three sodas kegged in 5 gallon Corney Kegs. One was root beer, the other was a Lemon Lime and then Orange. They all turned out great ( read up on force carbing sodas tho, its different than beer - PSI, dispensing tubing ect ) Yooper mentions this...

Good luck with that. Don't see how this is going to effect such a growing revolution. But hey, I guess they gotta try something.:cool: http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/inside-the-ticker/big-beers-5-point-plan-to-crush-the-craft-beer-revolution/ar-AAfwkAD?ocid=spartandhp#page=1

So I'm wondering what others who may be trying to squeeze in a brew session have to say. I have uncracked grains ready to be crushed. (recipe below) and a 1 gallon yeast starter collection chilling in the fridge. Wlp530. My question is, would it be cheating if I brewed on Christmas Eve? Or...

I must say that this is the closest to Unibroue's Trois Pistoles masterpiece. I have attempted this recipe about 4 times now. This one by far is the best. A must try if you like this ale. I did a 120 min rest at 149deg F pitched at 68deg F with pure oxygen added. Try it and let me know how...

Is it possible to move the middle line so that all the ingredients a visible without scrolling. I have all that space below.. but that line is not moveable. just curious if anyone else tried to move that line up or down but could not. Thank you...

Not sure how this is gonna work. How is this bringing in fresh O2? With the airlock.. its "locking" out oxygen, correct.. or am I missing something here. I use loose foil only. any comments? http://scott-bot.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/stirplate1.jpg I found this while searching for...

Had a bucket sitting around with leftover grains.. had washed WLP002 in the fridge.. and had some spare hops... and Time... oh well.. a great time for a Strange batch.. this is what i am brewing right now.. just started the 60 min hop addition. Boil Size: 6.70 gal Post Boil Volume: 5.90 gal...

just a quick one here.. whirl flock, longer secondary, grain type, yeast, filter... which one of these, or combo.. or not even mentioned, would give me least amount of sediment in my bottles. I love to ride. My homebrew clarity does not agree. any ideas to clear up .. so my homebrew...

Or shall I say, what will this turn out to be\taste\style? I have some leftover grains, hops, yeast ect.. all end up in an area off to the side. Today I'm cleaning up. This is what i threw together. 9lbs Brewers Malt 2-row (briess) 1lb Caramel Malt 60L 6-row (briess) 1lb Munich 10L...

Moved all the new gear outside. Kids and wife cannot stand the smell of homebrew (don't understand this). I have done 2 other all grain batches. Maybe, 2 weeks ago. But i must tell you, all grain sure is more fun than extract. Not sure how taste will vary, but i know its more fun...

I kinda took offense to that commercial i just saw. poking fun at homebrewers. please, everyone knows all they have on tap is "mostly" run of the mill everyday beer. My homebrew is better than most everything that have. So i'm not getting that commercial at all :cross: :drunk: besides...

I have an all grain Belgian dubbel in the primary. the og was 1.065 ingredients were found at byo.com. my question is, should I secondary this brew? or will bottle conditioning be fine? some say to secondary and some say it's not necessary. since this is my first all grain and first...

Northern Brewers Caribou Slobber suggests Wyeasts 1332 Northwest Ale - The problem is.. My LHBS only carries White Labs. I tried to search,, and found only one replacement for White Labs. Its the British Ale WLP005. Anyone have ideas on what would be a great White Labs yeast suggestion for...

Since premade kits are somewhat limited.. Can anyone suggest ingredients that i could try\buy? If it is possible. I would like to brew a Beer with extract.. (or partial mash) i have never done a partial, but it reads to be quite simple. Taste? I was looking for a somewhat dark, slightly sweet...

So its been at 35 deg for 35 days so far. Its a Berwers Best Oktoberfest. I had it in Primary for roughly 17 days at 56-58 deg! did a D-rest for 2 days at 75%. No extra yeast was used, just the dry yeast sachet that came with the kit. 24hrs then vigorous fermentation when pitched & cooled...

My very first lager.. aside from the 2 ales i have done, this is my 3rd batch. Lagering techniques seems to have different styles. After reading up on it, this is the path i have followed, Brewferm Lager yeast (dry but re-hydrated) BB Extract kit Oktoberfest. Cooled wort down to roughly 56F...
