    Sealing refrigerator

    Hey guys. So I'm undecided on how I should do this. I've got a spare fridge in the garage that I've taken over for a beer fridge. Well, I can fit 2 kegs in there but I have to put something heavy against the door to keep it shut because the shelves push up against the kegs and the door won't...

    Starting 1st batch

    I tried my first bottle of commercially made kombucha just over 2 weeks ago and now I'm hooked. I've got my wife liking it now too and we are going to make our first batch this weekend. We have a nice little room in our basement that we converted to our "brewery" (beer for me and wine for her)...

    Advice on Porter recipe?

    My wife is a porter fan and I've been trying to make something that she will really enjoy. I've done 2 1 gallon test batches so far and they turned out ok, but not quite what I'm looking for. Now a friend of ours asked if I could make a batch for her wedding next year so I've really got to get...

    Hosted first my first tasting

    At the tail end of this last December I picked up, for the first time, a full sack of 2-row along with some bulk hop packs to keep around so that I if I decided to brew when I woke up that morning, I had everything I needed. Well this of course led to a little more frequency in my brew sessions...

    2 - 1 gallon experiments

    So instead of participating in Black Friday I'll be doing Brew Friday. I have 2 experimental hops of Lime and Chocolate. Because they are new this year the grower doesn't have any specs on them yet other than the flavor part. So the first batch is going to be just 2-row with a little centennial...

    Mash temp & FG

    So I've been trying to read up and figure this out on my own, but I'm really getting no where other than just confusing myself. I'm basing this off of a porter that I had made recently too that I felt came out a little thinner than what I wanted. I hope I don't confuse anyone with the way this...

    Experimental hop ideas?

    So my aunt just sent me 2 - 8oz packs of experimental hops from Yakima Valley Hops. One is "Chocolate" and the other "Lime." Jumped on their website to get a little more information but because they are "experimental" the only descriptions they have is chocolate/spicy and lime/fruity. Not a...

    Coconut flavoring for Porter

    So the wife wanted me do a Coconut Coffee Porter for her. I did a 1.5 gl batch using just a basic porter recipe and originally the plan was to ferment 2 weeks, toast up some unsweetened coconut flakes and add for another 2 weeks(in a hop bag) and then at bottling time, cold brew some local...
