    Adding a fruit juice after Primary Fermentation

    I'm not asking whether this is a good idea or not but more of an if I did this, what would the alcohol content be... So say I had a beer start at 1.069 and then ferment down to 1.017, that would give me about a 7.2% beer. If I then pour the beer over a fruit juice and it brings it up to 1.030...

    Force Carbbing

    Before I start I want to say I have found the best way to carb is to set it and forget it without a doubt, but could the following be a possibility to help move the process along. Say I have multiple kegs, 4, all of my beer is below the co2 diptube. I set my psi to 40 for about an hour and a...

    Piece of Equipment that wasn't originally meant for Brewing

    Title says it all, as homebrewer's we're all big into repurposing equipment used for other things, ie old corny kegs, chest freezers, etc. One thing that I recently purchased and have been using a ton is a Roundup Tank Sprayer. I put some star san in there, fill it up with a gallon of water...

    Repitch or unfermentable

    Newer to all grain, still figuring the whole process out. Process: Heat up strike water Batch Sparge for 60 min 15 min Mash out So I think my strike water was too hot, I got it up to 180F then mashed in, it only dropped to 170F, I just left it not knowing that it would produce...

    Another CO2 Leak

    So I'm new to kegging like everyone else who writes a post like this is, but after searching and searching I can't find the answer to this. So I have a CO2 leak, and obviously I'm not sure where it's coming from, when I first setup my system I sprayed all of the connections with with star san...

    Overactive Yeast

    So I know you're all going to yell at me for this but I pitched my yeast at around 90 F, we ran out of ice and couldn't cool it any further (plus I'm impatient). I had created two starters because this was my first 10 gallon brew, first brew in over 2 years and first true all grain I ended up...

    Brewed my first beer in over two years...

    ...and here's the only picture I took: But all in all, it went great. I brewed a Honey Heffeweizen, and it was my first time truly doing all grain using a HLT, Gatorade Mash Tun and Boil Kettle.

    Another Gatorade Cooler Mash Tun

    I haven't brewed beer in over 2 years; bought a house, had a kid, you know, that sort of thing. So I'm raring and ready to get back into it and want to go full tilt. Last time I brewed I did it BIAB with one kettle and a tripod holding my grains above it. Insert Gratuitous Picture here: But...

    Smart Plant Sensor

    I'm growing some hops in my backyard (first year), I got married this summer and went on my honeymoon, so I was gone for a while to say the least. I had someone else take care of them while I was gone, I just asked them to water them for me, nothing more. Well, when I came back, 3 of the 4...

    TV Shows About Brewing

    There's a TV show called Beer Geeks on WLNY1055 in my area (NJ) that already finished it's first season back in February, but I've been catching shows here and there and making sure to record all of them on my DVR. I really like it, they highlight breweries from all over the country, usually...

    Scored a Freezer for Fermentation

    So I've been scouring craigslist for a chest freezer to use for fermentation and I finally scored one the other day for $50. Now the only question I have is not about what to buy, but about the controllers themselves. If I use a johnson or ranco controller like this one, and let's say I have a...

    25 ft Copper IC from NY Brew Supply

    Ordered the 25 ft CIC from NY Brew Supply via Amazon on Thursday, July 19th, got it today, Saturday, July 21st, that's only a two day turn around, pretty fast if you ask me (technically I only live 2 states over). I have not had a chance to leak test it, but it seems like it's pretty quality to...

    Brewin'...Jersey Shore Style

    Hello from Jersey, I'm just getting into doing the old "HB" and I just brewed for the second time this past Sunday. The first time was about a year and a half ago, though I didn't keep good notes, but took some pictures, brewed an Anchor Steam look a like. This time, I've been taking really...
