So recently I have considered producing my own malt, But I want to test the malt I make to make sure it's suitable. I know I could just brew with it and see what happens but I'd really rather not swing that way. so the tests I think I've figured out is % water- place grain in a vacuum...

So in my local surplus and salvage chain (mardens) I came across a Porkert Universal Mill. I purchased it for $20, my question is does anyone else use a Porkert Mill? How have they modified it to make it more suitable for grinding malt, if they modified it at all. hares a link to my mill...

For the few, the proud, the maltsters we have on this forum; where do you get your unmalted barley? I found a seed source where I can get the stuff for $29 per 50lbs, and its within driving distance. anyone know of a better place to get the stuff? I live in maine so there aren't alot of...

does anyone know where I can find a 1.5 gallon glass carboy

looking for a one gallon keg preferably SS, but I've had no luck, can anyone think of a way I can force carb about one gallon of beer for a reasonable price?

so I want to start brewing all grain on a very small scale, to experiment with making recipe's from scratch. (think 12 pk) I was wondering what the concerns associated with small scale brewing where, I know there is some concern over the head space to volume ratio in the fermenter, what...

so, my friends, I have begun an excursion into brewing sake, or probably more accurately rice wine. I have the kokji-kin (that funky mold that converts starch to sugar) but I am sol when it comes to finding a cheap source of good sake rice. The sams club nearby has long grain rice for $17 @...

so it occurred to me the other day that I am going to be buying CO2 (I just started kegging), and I was producing plenty of the stuff when I was fermenting my beer. Now I understand its impossible (read to damn expensive) for me to reproduce the amount of pressure I would get when I buy the co2...

So recently I started a project in which I am trying to create a water reservoir that is variable volume and in which the water has no contact with air. The problem becomes that I need food grade bags with a combined capacity of 6 gallons with some sort of spigot attached. I tried using 1...

First of all let me note that I am interested in primarily brewing mead. I have already done my First batch with less than prefect results. My "carboy" was a shoddy DIY project, and I attribute some of the results to that. So I'm going at it again and refining my process, making a better...
