Am planning a maple porter. Have read that the maple tends to ferment out and leaves little if any flavor. With this in mind i started thinking that if i used wheat crystal malts it might help the maple shine through a bit better. Am i completely wrong? Only time i ever used caramel wheat was in...

I tried one of these for the first time the other day. The tag line is "crisp like an apple brewed like an ale." It tastes like a sparkling cider, i was wondering how they actually do it. Is apple juice used as mash water or is it just apple extract. Have no desire to make this but am just a bit...

I was on my way for a pick up from work and got talking to a guy who gave me a corny keg. Have no experience with these at all but have seen pics and this one has a sanke adaptor welded in place of the lid. Its a ball lock but when I took off the protector on the inlet it look solid and had some...

Hey, I recently bought a 7.75gal sanke keg and wanted to clean it my self after it arrived to be safe. I filled it with a caustic solution and let it sit over night. When I looked the morning the water level, which I filled to the brim was a bit below the top valve spout. I looked around...

hey I found a local company that makes 6.5gal (pretty much everything from 1L to 55gal)barrels and other containers. closed top or open top. Here is what im wondering, they say "Our lined open head pails are stocked in epoxy-phenolic blend linings and straight phenolic linings" and also have...

Just finished brewing up a wheat ale and the grommet for the airlock wasn't right. Went to take the cap off to fix it and half a 3-piece airlock work of sanstar solution fell in the wort. Am I f'ed?

Just finally mounted my new ferm chamber but was wondering if I should fire it up straight (about 70F ambient temp right now) or should I throw a bunch of ice in to help it cool. Added about 3-4 times area so don't want to burn out the mini fridge comp. thanks.

So I was given a 50lb bag of old rice hulls from the winery I work at and was wondering if they'd be safe to use in my brewing. Just worried about the age and the fact that the bag was opened. They looks fine and do not smell rank. Hopefully this is a stupid question and everything will be fine...

I have all this new fangled equipment and am tryin to come up with my next brew to try it out on (any excuse I can get). Figure it being golf season and all I'd make a little something for the course. Basically what kind of beer or what characteristics do you think would make a good for a good...

Do these things work alright with a valve on the output? Have access to a brand new one but don't want to take it if I'm going to burn it out and therefore my friend out money.

I found this on eBay and was wondering if anybody has used one before. I have 2 Cornelius carbonator pumps that I really want to use but they are both 100gph and are shaft driven so I can't hook a ball valve up for speed control. 100gph is way above what I need but they were free.
