Since the herb garden is in full bloom I had an idea to make a Belgian Golden with flowers. The garden is organic so I'm not concerned about chemicals or pesticides creeping in. Right now I'm making three tinctures using catnip, lavender and nasturtium flowers soaking in decent vodka (Stoli). I...

Getting out of the DYI for electronics and selling off my leftover items. This might be nice for anyone working with the many flavors of Raspberry PI or Aurdino for brewing. Asking for $40 shipped in the continental US. This includes: Breadboard for prototyping plus wire assortment @20 switches...

Earlier this year I attempted to build my own brew control panel and after wrecking 2 project boxes decided to give up and buy a pre-assembled PID unit. All together I spent around $280 on parts, but am asking for $150 shipped in the continental US. The complete parts list includes: 3 Pieces...

I've got a few beers planned this year that use flavor extracts due to time and cost constraints. I picked up a few bottles of Brewer's Best "All Natural Flavorings" only to find out when looking at the data sheets, they're only mostly natural. Apparently as long as the Topnote flavors are less...

So I've got a malty chocolate stout in the fermenter that quit at 1.030 instead of dropping to around 1.014 or so. The OG was 1.062 and I'm using WLP001 California as the yeast. Originally I thought it was just stalled, so here's what I tried in order: - Raising the temperature from 68 to 71 F...

Well I cleared out my brewing closet and decided to sell of most of my unused fittings. At first I was going to use TC fittings for my pump, but ended up going with camlocks due to having to disconnect my equipment for storage. All fittings are 304 stainless and were bought from either Pro Flow...

So I bought a new Chugger pump back in January, but due to family obligations wasn't able to get everything setup until a few weeks ago. When I finally got it all rigged up, I had a small leak that was very annoying. It turns out that there is a small hole in the stainless head casting. Since...

Over the past 2 years I've managed to upgrade much of my equipment and improve my technique, but one things still gives me grief. I bottle my beers and am not looking at kegging as this would probably put SWMBO over the edge - buying another fridge plus kegs, CO2 tanks, towers and taps. When I...

So I just got a mini-fridge and Inkbird for controlling fermentation temperatures and am planning on brewing a batch this weekend. I see that a lot of people using freezers/fridges use a heat wrap to control temperatures. I've only been brewing ales so I thought I may be able to get away without...

So this year I'll be blessed with an over-abundance of black and red raspberries from the garden for a change. Since it looks like we'll have more than we'll use through normal means, I wanted to brew a raspberry amber ale: Purple Ninja. It'll be dark purple and kick the ever-living schintz out...
