I'm developing a recipe to put in a bourbon maple barrel that I just acquired. I am looking to make something along the lines of bourbon county stout and was looking for feedback on this recipe below. Also, if I go the dry yeast route, what would you guys recommend as far as quantity/type...

I am currently in the market for a keezer and was wondering if anyone could tell me if I could fit 4 kegs and a 10 lb CO2 tank inside this: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/igloo-7-1-cu-ft-chest-freezer-white/4584005.p?id=1219098811096&skuId=4584005 For the price I'm thinking about picking one up...

I brewed up a gruit 10 months ago by loosely following the recipe in sacred and herbal healing beers. I ended up "dry herbing" in the 3 gallon corny by adding a stainless steel herb ball filled with dried yarrow. At first tasting (march) it was too strong of an herbal flavor, so I stuck it in...

Well, I'm planning on brewing a RIS on Black Friday and I'm about to get a starter going. I have 2 vials I'm wanting to use up, white labs Irish ale and also the super San Diego. Would it be a BAD idea to maybe combine these 2? I'm up for some experimenting.

I'm curious to see people's thoughts on calculating IBUs for mash hopping. I'm brewing an imperial ipa and was thinking about calculating it as FWH.

I'm been looking around at coffee roasters and was wondering if anyone had any input on them. I'm thinking of getting one for someone for a Christmas present and want to make sure it's not a piece of junk :D

I just acquired an old 7.5 gallon keg that I want to try to convert into a cask keg setup. It has a older style connection on the top that I'm not sure of how to use/convert. It also has a wooden bung on the side of it that I could buy a breather setup and install. Any ideas on what to do for...

... then grind and press them, and turn them into cider. I'm probably going to end up with at least 30-40 gallons of juice here, and was looking for advice as to what I need to do right after juicing before fermentation. I know I will need to add campden tablets, but is there anything else? I'm...

Kick the Pack's @ss today!

I just started cold crashing to see what it's all about. I had a 1.059 gravity beer and gave it 3 weeks in the primary, then cold crashed for 3 days and racked to keg and carbonated it. It's at week 4 now, and the sample tastes a little green as I suspected it would. Will this thing be ready at...

Harvested most of our Cascade hops the other day, they ended up drying to about 14 oz. We hope to get another harvest before it's all said and done with. These are 2nd year plants and really kick out some hops!

Someone just gave me a bunch of free bottles of Juicy Juice and I was wondering if anyone has tried making wine from it. I can't imagine drinking all of it so I was thinking of adding some corn sugar and pitching some yeast.

and I cannot for the life of me think of anything good. I'm thinking I want a German name that somehow reflects summer. I've been typing random things into translators but nothing is catching my interest. Any ideas?

A friend and I are throwing our annual party this weekend, for family and friends. Said friend's brother just told me about someone he invited. As a general rule, we say no *ucks allowed. Everyone knows who they are-people who are general a-holes, like to start fights, and run their mouth...

I've got an extra keg or two to fill for a party. I already have lots of homebrew in other kegs for it and was looking for some suggestions. We usually do margaritas or something of that nature, and I was thinking about kegging them pre-mixed. What has everyone else done?
