I finally finished up my new BIAB electric system this past weekend and brewed a pretty rockin IPA on it just this morning. I have been wanting to go electric for a while now and this seemed like the most logical step, perhaps en route to a Brutus 20 stand in the future. 8 gallon SS pot...

Brewed up a Dogfish 90 clone today based on the BYO recipe. In an attempt to get closer to the "doggy yeast" (which sounds terrible) I blended up some washed 1056 and 1028 London Ale. I also added a good bit of sucrose to help dry it out a little bit. My BIAB method is a little different than...

I ordered a Polar Ware pot from Brewmasters Warehouse about three weeks ago and they still haven’t delivered it. Ed at Brewmasters Warehouse, who has been incredibly helpful, said that Polar Ware ships directly from their warehouse, which appears to be in Wisconsin. Has anyone else had problems...

Wish I had thought of this: http://www.instructables.com/id/Make-a-dehydrator-from-a-dorm-fridge/ Might make a great addition to a home malting/hop drying setup.

This should be pretty easy considering this blurb on the Allagash website: Hugh Malone Ale’s base includes English two-row malt and pale crystal malts, establishing an understated sweetness. To give Hugh Malone its hop character we use generous portions of Simcoe hops at three points in the...

Life seems to be stacking things against me recently, limited time, back pain, and lack of space. I love brewing but I need to do smaller batches that are faster start to finish. Now I need some input. To that end, I am going to try BIAB, a much maligned and often misunderstood technique...

After a long hiatus from home brewing, I finally found some time to put together my herms system - thank you very much 20" inches of unplowable DC-area snow. I have been brewing all-grain for about 5 batches and have been constantly frustrated by inconsistent mash temperatures, which...

I just brewed this up a few weeks ago and have gotten a lot of positive reactions from the hop-inclined crowd. I went for a jog the day after drinking a couple of these guys and I swear I was sweating hops. Midwest Ferocious Clone All-Grain Ferocious IPA: LIMITED EDITION ALL GRAIN RECIPE...

Just went to a friends party at the Shenandoah Brewery in Alexandria, VA and I thought I would share my experience. Overview: Shenandoah Brewery (SB) is located on Pickett road right across from Joe Ragan's office furniture (why did I notice this) and next to a pretty nice Latino...

I just recently brewed up an AG batch of Blonde Ale from Midwest. I missed my mash temp by a bit (151) but after a week in primary I transfered to secondary and it was a beautiful golden color. At bottling I added a 4oz bottle of Apricot Fruit Extract. I just cracked one open last night and the...

I was wondering if anyone has ever tried using an ultrasonic transducer to agitate their mash. I was thinking that something like (55-Watt ULTRASONIC TRANSDUCER for CLEANER (ultrasound)) (albeit from a reputable dealer) could possibly increase mash efficiency while lowering the time necessary to...
