Hello forum, Recently I posted about going pro, that I'm in the process of opening a new craft brewery in Oklahoma City. Things are moving along, and we are on schedule to be in production by late January! Being that I learned TONs about brewing from this forum, I thought maybe some people...

Hey everybody, I havent been posting for awhile....because I've spent the past year going through the process of opening up a new brewery in Oklahoma City!! I just wanted to let everybody know that we're coming, especially all the Okies on the forum! My business partner and I wrote our...

I've been waiting all summer to make chili. Now the day is quickly approaching. Anyone else cooking something epic for the first weekend of NFL regular season? We do Chili, slow cooked all day, and served at kickoff of the late game with shredded sharp cheddar, green onions, crackers, elbow...

I'm using the hexagon shaped beer/wine plate filter that is commonly available at brew supply stores, and it's about 50/50 if it will actually filter my beer correctly or if the filter pads tear and let unfiltered beer through. I am following the manufacturer's directions, using course pads...

damn this march pump & blichmann false bottom combo. Every time I try to step mash with this setup a microscopic piece of husk or something gets through the false bottom during the ramp up from protein rest to sacc rest. I have to kill the recirc, disassemble the pump head, and wash said...

I am going to be brewing a bunch of beers for a local competition this fall, many of which are Lagers. Rather than making a huge starter, I have decided that the first batch in the series (I'll be repitching the yeast across 6-8 different style batches) will be an American Lite Lager so A). I...

I just wrapped up a double 10 gallon batch brew day, 10 of our house blonde ale (cant seem to make enough of this one) and 10 gallons of Belgian pale which I will pitch Brett B into 1 carboy of after primary fermentation. 9 Hours from start to finish, in the 100+ Oklahoma heat....I'm spent...

Pretty cool event for being in it's first year, hopefully it'll be an annual thing and keep getting better. The highlights for me were the Marshall Big Jamoke Porter with fresh roasted coffee beans in the keg. What a perfect blend of beer and coffee, my two favorite beverages. It was a one...

Who's going? Parking lot between Tapwerks and Americas Pub, over 100 beers for sample, every brewery in Oklahoma, and multiple food vendors. Me and my wife are going to the early session. Cant wait!!

need to brew a Double IPA. Can yall check my recipe? It's got mash hops, first wort hops, tons of kettle hops, and dry hops. What do you think? I added standard measurements for the hop schedule, and while 1 ounce is equal to right about 27 grams, i figure the numbers I put are a close...

I might catch some heat from this forum, but I recently picked up a plate filter and filtered my first few batches. Wow, this is easy and the beers look amazing. Here's the rig: And here's a pilsner that was brewed 6 weeks ago and was still very cloudy in the carboy: wow. I...

i just realized, while attempting to hook up a keg to replace one that kicked, that 4 out of the 8 kegs in my keezer are empty, 1 is a dumper that ive been putting off, 2 are high-gravity beers that need to be bottled and aged for a year so they lose the jet fuel quality, and 1 is about to...

I will be in Anaheim CA (Disneyland Hotel to be exact) this Monday and I MUST find a bar to drink Pliny at. I am from Oklahoma via Texas and I have never had it. I must drink it. Can anyone tell me where to go? I wont have a car, so something that is within a 20 minute or so cab ride...

Working on a RIS to finish up a spring series of beers using re-pitched Cal Ale yeast. Started with 10 gallons of a Blond Ale, brewing an IPA and a brown ale this weekend, and plan to repitch a Barleywine and and RIS to finish the series. It's a pretty insane grain bill...I usually tend to...

I started work on my new brew rig. It's going to be a single tier, 3 pump, automated system constructed of stainless 2 inch square tubing. I'll be using 3 15 gallon Boilermakers. The MLT will be direct fired, and will run a constant recirculation. The BK will have a whirlpool return built...

I just got my stainless tubing for my stand build. Is there any reason that I should not use a 10" miter saw with an abrasive cutoff blade to make my cuts? it's 2" 11ga stainless square tubing I have seen recommendations of using a bandsaw for tubing, but I dont have a bandsaw. I have...

My setup includes a 50ft 1/2" immersion chiller with the whirlpool arm. It does a good job, but I have a feeling that the whirlpool would work MUCH better if there wasn't a huge copper coil in the kettle. Also, it can be difficult to get to lager temps without 3 or more bags of ice, and if you...

I've been an infusion only mash guy until today. The first decoction is currently resting at 154, about to start heating it to the boil...wish me luck! Heating up the decoction:
