    How did teach a friend to brew day go?

    Ours went real well. Good club turnout and lots of new foot traffic at the lhbs. Lots of new interest and maybe some new club members. Brewed a stout an IPA and an English ale.

    Ok. My second all grain is coming up. Cut up keg HLT , 70 qt Coleman mash tun keggle bk. I used way to much water on my first batch and efficiency was terrible. My next beer is an IPA. It calls for mashing in with 6 gallons then batch sparging with 4 gallons. This is a 5 gal recipe btw. My boil...

    Low OG and finishing fg?

    Ok. Brewed a saison a two weeks ago saturday. It's been bubbling nicely. Smells good. Looks good. My projected Pre boil gravity should have been 1060. It was 1040. I mashed with WAY to much water and didn't sparge much. I could have gone for a longer boil but I added my hops at 60 minutes and...

    help me develop my taste.

    Ok I'm a little late to the hop revolution but I'm completely hooked on over hopped IIPA's. Here's my question. I love SN's torpedo and hoptimum. I like DFH 60 and absolutely hate 90 minute. What is it I don't like about it and some other IIPA. It's hard to describe what I don't like. Maybe...

    Thanks home brewers!

    Did my first all grain today with keggles and a 70qt cooler/tun and a cpvc manifold that I built all with instruction from this site. I totally missed my gravity but now that I have boil off and grain absorption rates to go by I'll be much closer next time. Thanks fuys

    Sierra Nevada torpedo clone from adventures in hombrewing?

    Any one used their kit. I'm headed towards my first 3 vessel all grain and thought a kit with good instructions would be the best thing to do.

    Ball lock or pin lock?

    Going to invest in 2 used corny kegs. Should I go ball or pin lock?

    Calculating boil off?

    Would it be pretty accurate if I put 10 gal of just water in my keggle and boil for an hour to see where I end up? Thanks

    I'm a dummy

    Dont think it hurt anything but I left the damn thingy out of the airlock that makes it bubble. I stared at it for 5 minutes wondering why no bubbles and BAM. Been that way for a week. I really try not to mess with em at all for 5-6 days. Well see how it turns out.

    Can I bottle condition in a growler

    Just got a growler or beer while in salt lake city. Can I use it for my next one gal brew instead of my grolsch bottles. It's screw top so that may be a problem. Also. If its one fizzy tab to 12oz then Would I use 5 for 64? Next brew is a 1 gal extract kit of caribou slobber. Thanks
