This is what happens when you drink too much on brew day. You forget to record the wort chilling. Brewed some ingredients i got as a gift. http://youtu.be/04hI9QcRtB0

I'm getting married March 2015. I'd like to include my homebrew obsession. SWMBO has some reservations about the legality of serving homebrew on tap and is suggesting giving out bottles as gifts instead. Florida Statute 562.165 paragraph 4 interprited in my favor shows that i can serve...

I recently got afforded more time to brew. Losing a job is never fun but when it's one of three it turns out things will be just fine. With this new found time i've been brewing more, making thingamabobs and modifications. I do plan on sharing with craft beer geeks and virgins alike but decided...

Recently acquired a mini fridge and temp controller. Brewed a Lager and am on the 3rd day after pitching. I realize the krausen isn't getting any higher and a switch to an airlock is justified. The fridge's current configuration will not fit the airlock. My most immediate thought is continue...

Brew a BBS Spring Lager fermented with saflager 23. This is my first temp control attempt. I place the thermometer lead in a ziplock bag inside the sanitizer for my blow off setup. Should it be in the open air or against the fermenter or where I have it is fine? I've set the temp to 62 but found...

I want to get into doing recipes. I'm a 1 gallon brewer. I want to order a bulk of ingredients and build recipes from that bulk. As opposed to building a recipe then ordering the ingredients. What would be a good mix of grains to buy? What's a good way to store grains as well? What would...

Which would be best. Adding Wyeast Nutrient to the boil as the instructions call for or adding the nutrients to the warm water as part of dry yeast rehydration?

Brewed a BBS all grain Dry Black Stout Mix that is now 2 weeks in the fermenter. In brewing this kit i missed the temps for the mash when i tried to hold the temps in an oven. (never doing that again) After steeping the grains for an hour at 165~169F. OG going into the fermenter was 1.036. I...

After 3 small batch brews under my belt i dove into the fourth one. I feel I was a bit over confident. In Brewing a BBS Smoked wheat I was short on my sparge water by ~2 litres. I noticed this at the very beginning of the boil and tried to salvage by heating some water really quickly and washing...

a fellow brewer had suggested that i rotate my bottles during conditioning. His recommendation was twice a day to rotate bottles. Before going to work and after coming home. I'd like to hear your thoughts on this. Thx

I've learned how to brew beer. Woot! now i have a lifetime to waste. :tank: I got a Brooklyn Brew Shop Kit. Their mixes are all grain. Small batches 1 gallon. Most of you already knew that. After tasting the first batch of three i realized there are some things i would like to change to get...
