Looking to save some room in my garage and get ride of a big shelving unit that stores my plastic buckets, 4 corny kegs, and a gatorade cooler mash tun. I'm thinking about some kind of long peg system that I could just turn the buckets/kegs upside down and just hang on the wall. Anyone have...

Trying to figure out potential issues here. I've recently started trying no-sparge in my 15gal Blichmann Boilermaker. First two batches efficiency was around 65-70% (which is about what I hit when I batch sparge). My last two batches have been 50% and today 48%! Only thing I can think of is...

Hey y'all trying to come up with a margarita inspired beer for SWMBO! There are many different opinions on how to sour this without bugs. My grain bill is as follows (5gal batch): 5 lbs Wheat 4 lbs Pils 1 lb Acid Malt I plan on using lactic acid into the keg as well. Here are my...

I just got a Blichmann BrewVision thermometer and I'm trying to find the app on the app store. I can't find it anywhere! I tried to follow a direct link from Google: Brew Vision App But I get a message saying the app isn't available in the US app store. Can anyone find the app?

Hey, I've received a sample of an experimental ale yeast from a local university that was harvested off of nectarines. I'm told that it's has characteristics of a champagne/saison type of yeast. So I want to do a small extract test batch 2-3 gallons and try to use some of my grains that I...

What do ya'll think of this setup? It's in my garage here in the Upstate of South Carolina. It's probably 80s in the garage with the fan on low. Any suggestions for improvement? About how long do ya'll think this should take?

I'm attempting my first lager. Doing the Brooklyn Lager clone from the Dec 2011 BYO and using my ghetto Son of Fermentation Chiller (another post someday!). Recipe says that when fermentation is close to finishing (thinking 10 days or so) I'll do a d-rest for a couple days, and then lager. My...

Brewing up an IPA tomorrow, recipe calls for 1lb Crystal 40L (steeping grains), but I'm trying to finish off some leftover grains that I have so I'm going to use .25lbs of Crystal 80 and 0.6lb of Crystal 120. Other than obviously being darker, probably outside style guidelines (not worried...

I had a quart jar with some washed 1098 yeast in it from the beginning of Aug, I was going to use in a yeast starter, but when I opened it it smelled faintly of vinegar and had a weird gray layer on top of the yeast on the bottom. Anyone experienced this? Was I right to just dump it down the...

I just got the results back from my first Homebrew competition. I entered three beers (two of which were not my best efforts, but all I had on hand to enter) with scores coming back as 29 (black ipa), 27(pumpkin amber ale), and 20(amber ale) for the three beers. All the judges mentioned...

So I brewed a Rogue I2PA clone ~48hrs ago. I've been worried since I pitched the yeast. I originally used a smack pack of Wyeast 1272, but stupidly (still a relative newbie, especially with higher gravity brews) didn't use a starter, just smacked and dumped...... So after 48 hrs of nothing...
