Has anyone here got one of these "Brewing Sculptures" from MoreBeer.com? If any of you got one, are you happy with it? They look pretty nifty....now if I only had a sackful of benjamins. http://morebeer.com/product_images/1/1921.jpg

I'm fairly new here so what I have to say is probably not of that much interest to you all but I just gotta know if anyone else has the same preferences to beer as myself. Just so you know, I have consumed hundreds of different beers over the years and some of my favorites have always been...

Hey everyone, I'm looking for information on the sugar content of the main styles of beer (Pilsner, Pale Ale, IPA, Porter, Stout, Barley Wine). I'm guessing that the higher the alcohol the more sugar in the beer. Why does a beer that is high in alcohol have to be high in sugar? Is it...

Hey everyone, I just tried Ruination IPA and found it to be quite weak. I was a little dissapointed actually. I compared it to another IPA (8%) I have in my current keg which was brewed by a friend. When you take a sip of the IPA I have and then try Ruination, the Ruination was actually...

After I drink a 12 oz. bottle of brew I am almost always unsatisfied. I first take a few sips, then a gulp or two, and I take another look at the glass and its about gone! I know, I know....I should just drink two bottles. But I really believe that an 18oz. bottle would be perfect most of the...

Hello everyone, I have been trying more and more Lagers, Kolschs and Wheat Beers, etc. and am finding that I enjoy them a lot more than I have in the past. Heavy dark beers were the only thing I thought I should spend my time and money on. But recently I tried some excellent Lagers and...

Hey everyone, I was just chatting with a friend who runs the local brewery/pub in town and I brought up Belgians asking what he thought about them. He just stated he didnt like them and the main reason being that when making a Belgian Beer you "break all the conventional and traditional rules...

Hey everyone, I started drinking my Belgian Dubbel exactly one week ago. And tonight I had my first glass of it since Sunday (4 days ago) and noticed that it was quite different. When first drinking it for the first couple days it was VERY fruity and bubblegummy but tonight it has more of a...

Hey everyone, I have a Belgian Dubbel (not a true dubbel, just a partial mash kit) that has been in the secondary for two weeks now (was in the primary for 8 days) and I just took a reading today and its only 5.6% alc. while it should be closer to 6.8%. O.G. .068 F.G. .014 Could I have taken...

Okay, So I get by beer carbonated at about 10.5 psi and everything is fine and good. But when I fill a glass the pressure goes down pretty fast and it stays down. So I have to adjust the gauge a little bit to bring it back up to normal. This may be a retarded question, but is this normal...

My family and I started drinking a nut brown on tap friday night and now its monday, and it's almost empty :cross: Having beer on tap in your home is wonderful. I figure to keep us (5 drinking adults) happy we need like a keg and a half a week. Guess I need to look into a larger setup. How...

Hey everyone, Just curious as to what your regular routine is. 1. How often do you brew? Once a week? Every other week? 2. How many beers do you have fermenting at any one time? 3. How many beers do you have on tap at any one time? 4. After transferring a beer from the Primary to the...

Hey everyone, I'm working on setting up my keg with the 75/25 Nitro/C02 mix for my stout. Do I need to use a different diameter and length for the hose going to the stout faucet? I know most people use 3/16" with 5' of length but does this all change for a nitro beer? I would...

Hi everybody, I just did my first brewing last thursday (the 15th, so it's been about 5 days) and I have a couple questions before I siphon from primary to secondary. This is a Mash-Extract 5 gallon batch btw. 1. Is there a way to know exactly when I should siphon the beer from the...
