Hey guys - I've decided to start using Beersmith in order to better keep track of my recipes/brew days/etc. Anyways.... I think of got the hang of it, but wanted some friendly reviews and/or advice! I'm planning on brewing a 10 gallon batch of a Zombie Dust clone I found on here and...

I am going to brew up a 10 gallon batch of Biermuncher's 'Helles Belles' this weekend. I have never made a starter for any of my beers, but have decided to start doing so. I have a 2L flask and just got my stir plate from stirstarters.com today. With that said, I am totally confused on what to...

I've been toying around with trying to come up with my perfect haus pale ale recipe and, hopefully, I've got it. Any and all comments are welcomed. Below is what I'm thinking: 11 Gallon Batch 16 lbs. - 2 Row Pale Malt 4 lbs. - Vienna Malt 1 lb. - Crystal 10L Malt 1 lb. -...

So for my birthday the wife got me a 13" False Bottom from JayBird's website for my 10 Gallon Rubbermaid Mash Tun. The false bottom does not have a hole in the middle for a dip tube, but rather sits on top of a stand, leaving it about 2" above the bottom of my cooler. My question is do I need...

So I've gathered (3) kegs and am in the process of converting them to HLT/MLT/BK. I'm set with my HLT & BK fittings, but am trying to decide on what I want to put in my MLT. I'm leaning towards the Sabco False Bottom, but there is no way I'm spending another $100 for their pickup tube!!! Does...

I've decided with the holiday season rapidly approaching I would rather bottle some of the more 'seasonal' brews instead of taking up a tap on my keezer. (On a side note - does anyone else do that?) Anyways, I found 100 Grolsch bottles on Craigslist for $50. Is this a pretty good deal? I...

I posted this in the 'all-grain' forum, but should have posted here. Hey everyone! I hardly post anything on here, but have learned a tremendous amount about home brewing just by reading tons of threads. I've done 3 all grain batches so far, all of them have been biermuncher's recipes and...

Hey everyone! I hardly post anything on here, but have learned a tremendous amount about home brewing just by reading tons of threads. I've done 3 all grain batches so far, all of them have been biermuncher's recipes and have all turned out great! Anyways, does anyone have a good clone recipe...

Has anyone ever purchased a brew pot or keggle from this company? They appear to look well made and would be a great purchase for someone that isn't very handy (like myself). Thoughts? Website: http://www.highlanderbrewingsupply.com/servlet/StoreFront YouTube Vids...

I wasn't quite sure where to put this question. I am still a noob at homebrewing, but I've done about 8 batches so far with some good reviews from friends and family. I would really like to do an oatmeal stout for my next brew. I have a 4 tap keezer in my garage that my dad and I built...

Hello - I will be ready to keg for the first time next week and I want to make sure my corney's are ready to go. I have read a couple of posts about McMasters being the place to purchase replacement O Rings and I want to make sure that I'm getting the right sizes. Can someone please help me...

Hey everyone! Well after only a few short weeks of being addicted to my "hobby" of homebrewing (as I like to tell my wife) I have decided to go the kegging route. I currently have a 6' chest freezer that I got from a family member and just today scored a 16 cu ft chest freezer off craigslist...

Hello All! I have been lurking on HBT for the past couple of weeks and have learned some great tips! So far, I have brewed a Nut Brown Ale (which I tasted for the first time last night and it was delicious) and currently have a Brewer's Best Oktoberfest in the primary. This has quickly...
