Hey everybody, i'm looking for advice before I attempt this recipe. I know it is not a true wild sour, but I wanted your advice before I attempt it. It will be my first sour beer. My plan is to make a quick sour Flemish Red (based on Jamil's recipe) and using a technique I saw on Oldsock's Blog...

Something here has caught my eye and got my brain cranking along. I apologize for not crediting the original poster (I can't remember who it is or the post involved) Update: Sanspareil in topic Primary Fermenting in a Corny Keg I have been considering setting up a sanke keg as a fermenter, but...

I went downstairs to pour myself a pint and I noticed foam residue under one of my taps. The faucet was sticky last night and must not have sealed properly. I lifted the lid of my keezer, and I noticed 2 1/2 - 3 gallons of Belgian Blonde in the bottom. ARRRGGGHHHH! Well I guess I should be...

I know the chances of me ever making it out for Dark Lord day are slim to none, so I have been wanting to try making a clone. This is what I have so far. I think I am going to do a batch of oatmeal stout first, and then I thought I would rack this onto the yeast cake. I found a recipe on...

Hey everybody, I just racked my pumpkin amber Ale into the secondary today, and boy did I lose a lot to the pumpkin. Out of my 5 gal batch, I probably only racked over 4 gal. Do you think I should top up my secondary with 1 gal filtered water? Or just end up making a smaller batch. (It's...

My first beer has been waiting patiently kegged for almost a week. Today I thought I would take a pull, and check it out. My Keezer isn't finished but it is functional. It's a partial grain raspberry hefeweizen. I have to say it's one of the finest beers to cross my lips. Thanks...

I know I'm getting ahead of myself since I just started a 5 gallon batch of Yooperbrew's Hard Lemonade today. I will be kegging it so I don't have to worry about bottle bombs. If it is too dry, can I just use some wine conditioner to sweeten it? Or am I better off using Campden Tablets and...

After I racked my raspberry wheat into a corney, I poured the trub and spent raspberries into the toilet. I then put a scoop of the oxyclean into the glass carboy and filled it full of hot water, after a half hour of soaking all of the krausen was gone, nor carboy brush required. Thanks for...

Well I racked my raspberry wheat into a keg today. :mug: But first I replaced all of the o-rings on the 6 kegs I have acquired (they have already been cleaned). Then I assembled my CO2 regulator, 2 airlines, 1 beerline with picnic tap for temporary use(will become my biermeister beergun)and 4...

Has anyone here swapped your freezer thermostat for a fridge thermostat? It seems like most have just bought a Love or Johnson controller. I was just looking at the other options.

Slowly but surely my Keezer plans are coming together. Yesterday my brother and I made a trip out to Simgo's in Surrey, BC. I would recommend them to all Canadian's looking to put together a kegerator. Their webpage isn't the best, (no prices) but after calling I found that there prices had...

Just curious, when you move from a 5 gallon batch to a 10 gallon batch, do you double all of the ingredients (grain, water, hops and yeast)? Or would one yeast pack still be enough to get the brew going?

After discovering on this site that Princess Auto was selling Corneys I ran out and purchased 4. I found the O-ring sizes here and placed an order yesterday with McMaster Carr. Today I got the follow up "Thank you for your order. Unfortunately, due to the ever increasing complexity of United...
