Hello all, It's been a while, and I'm in the mood for an upgrade. I'm toying with the idea of setting up another kettle as a gas-fired HLT/RIMS. This would recirculate wort duing the mash in my cooler tun, with a pump actuated by an stc1000 unit. Temps in the cooler via thermowell to the stc...

This is an "original" recipe of mine; this has probably been made at least a few times on purpose, and even more frequently by accident by a few of you brewers over the years.... but I like the results, so here we go: 10 # OiO 2-row Canadian 2 # Light Munich 1# Vienna 0.25 # CaraFoam...

Hello again beer lovers! I'm trying to get my lager process "dialed in" in the garage. My latest wort came out a little heavier than I would have liked (1.060 og instead of 1.050) My previous lager ended up tasting a little "slick". Not exactly movie theater popcorn, but not clean enough for...

I have a good quantity of saflager34/70 slurry in the fridge from a batch I transferred out of my fermenter 2 weeks ago. I would like to use this tonight to brew another lager, but have no experience pitching prior slurry. The OG of both batches will be approximately the same, and I have about...

I've been reading up on methods of carbonation and "balancing" one's corny keg setup. The problem I'm having is that my beer line is constantly full of foam, on 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and every pour. My setup is this: 10lb CO2 cylinder, food grade CO2 from industrial gas supplier Dual gauge...

Hello fellow beer geeks, I have fallen head-over-heels with brewing beer. My poor wife bought me a Cooper's extract brewing kit for my birthday March 30, 2015. As of today (July 25 2015) I have jumped into all-grain and kegging, with a fermentation fridge etc.......SWMBO has been very...

I've been reading Mutilated1's Bitburger recipe thread and couldn't resist trying out an attempt at the style, even though I did not use the exact ingredients specified. I have lots of 2-row Canadian malt, so it was substituted for the pilsner malt. I couldn't get a hold of the specific hops...

I thought it might be a good idea for people to post their water analysis test results, along with their location and most sucessful styles brewed. Some people might save a test fee if there has been a recent test in their area. At the very least it will condense all of the test results in one...

Hello, I've got a bit of spare cash on hand at the moment, and want to add to my home brewing setup. Here's a list of what I have currently: Turkey fryer boil kettle with spigot and dip tube Cooler mash tun Plastic fermentation bucket 5 gallon glass carboy (no airlocks or blow off yet)...

Hello everyone! I've been lurking on here for quite a while, and finally did an AG batch this weekend. I built a counterflow chiller setup and used a cheap home-depot aluminum turkey fryer kit to boil. Cooler mash-tun and coopers beer kit fermenter/bottling bucket. The beer I made was a guess...
