    Old House = No Grounding

    I'm in the process of setting up the electric brewery using my dryer plug, splitting the 240v into two 120s then powering two heating elements which plug into two separate GFCI Plugs that I have installed in the panel. My question is: my old dryer plug has no ground. What would be a cheap easy...

    Forgot a 120 min IPA clone for 4 years...

    Long story short my brother in law and I brewed a 120 min IPA clone November of 2011. The plan was to age for 6 months then drink! Then he had a kid, then I bought and remodeled a house, then I had a kid...you get it. It's been sitting in a keg in my mini fridge under a CO2 pad for 4 years...

    Kegging and IPA, losing flavor and carb?

    After a few weeks in the keg the IPA I brewed is starting to lose it's bitterness? Has anyone else experienced this? Also, I serve the beer at about 8 psi and the beer is losing its carb? Not sure if it matters but I make smaller 3 gal batches. Thanks!

    Dark DME yeast starter for an IPA?

    Just what the title says...bad idea? I don't imagine it will do anything to the flavor or even how the yeast works on my IPA. What say you guys?

    Kegging 3 gal of brew in a 5 gal keg?

    So I have a few brews under my belt and am ready to make the move to kegging. I have recently started doing 3 gallon brews just so I could brew more and keep costs down. My question is: is there a problem with kegging 3 gallons of brew in a 5 gallon keg? I wouldn't think there would be as...

    Drinking First Beer...Something Went Wrong.

    Started drinking my first beer...a Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale Clone. Left in primary for a week and secondary for two (dry hopped with cascade the whole time) and bottle with 1 cup dextrose (bulk primed) for 3 weeks (followed the 1-2-3 rule from this forum) It didn't carbonate fully, I made...

    I accidentally used cornstarch instead of corn sugar...

    First let me explain this marvel of a noob mistake... I got the corn sugar in my kit, about 2/3 a cup boiled it in water (2 cups) and then bulk primed...then I get nervous that it won't be enough carbonation...run to the grocery and not really knowing the difference I add just a pinch to each...
