Sooooooo, I have started to construct my own DIY "chillzilla" type device :rockin: It is almost complete, but I have no problems sharing the initial setup. I have another ball valve to put on the right side of the 'T'. As of now the pump is just used to whirlpool and transfer through the...

Here is my first label design. I know its not professional but I am no professional, so its perfect. If you don't speak spanish the name is golden sky brewery ;) and the beer is a blonde ale, dirty blonde is the name. :rockin: peace yo

Ok. Question. Ready. Here we go... The idea of a starter is to pitch yeast that is actively fermenting, i.e. during the stationary/fermentation part of the life cycle, right? Doing so allows the yeast to multiply and metabolize all the available oxygen during the log phase. Which leads into...

WORST IDEA EVER!!! Not to be rude in any way, shape or form, but damn, I do not like Black IPA's... A porter should be a porter and an IPA should be an IPA. Isn't brewing a great beer about balance?!?!?! No balance in a black IPA. sorry to rant just had to throw it out there. By the way I...

I have an idea... would anyone like to shoot it down for me? In the process of turning my 25' IC to a 25' CFC I kinda screwed up and lost 4' due to a kink... so... what if i mounted my CFC in a bucket filled with ice water... also i plan to put the 50' of hose prior to the CFC in a tub with...

Okay so here we go... side by side fridge to fermentation chamber... this should only take 1 week max to finish, so lets say 2 total weeks... I already have the temperature controller and I have already fermented in it, its just time to step it up a tad bit.... as a kegerator... as a...

This is a question for all the DIY gurus out there... Can I use this... GE reverse osmosis system... Like this one ..as a kind of hop randall. like this one I do not intend to use the reverse osmosis filter... I am only interested in the two tanks that are completely identical. My idea is...

Hello there, So here's the story, my friend cannot brew at his apartment and wants to invest in a system, specifically, my system :rockin: the goal is to begin brewing weekly. Yes, I did warn him that to do this we will need adequate space to ferment and serve and all the delicious beer we...

So, this may be a stupid question but here it goes... I just read the gravity of my latest batch... 1.026 (6.5 plato) from the reading two days ago 1.057 (14.25 plato) and beertools says that I am about at 4.0% abv.... so heres my question.... the change in degrees plato is about 8... the...

I tried creating a Robust Porter today and had much success :ban: ! After sparging I was left with 10 gallons and an acceptable 75% efficiency... but... I wanted to see what would happen if I added 5 gallons to my mash tun and let it rest at 158dF until the first 10 gallons had gone into the...

No big deal here just wanted to show off my new corny :rockin: I can't wait to upgrade to closed transfer now..... Just gotta get that damn pump

Hello, So after looking at as many sculptures as i could throughout the forum I decided I could build my own. My friend donated all the 1/4" angle iron and did the welding for me too. I made a few welds but he did the majority. His neighbor also happened to be a metal artist and had a plasma...

So I have been trying my recently bottled homebrew and they all seem to taste a bit different. All the beers are stored in the same place and at the same temperature. Why would some be different than others? There are zero off flavors.... some have all the hoppy goodness that I intended but...

Cheers everyone! I was just wondering if anyone is doing this and what the pros and cons were. I may have an opportunity to do this but it would be a long shot. I really do not want to hand over my recipes to someone else and let them brew my beer for me. I want to be involved in every...

Ok, I have looked for the answer to my question through out the threads but I have found no answers. This is my first try at a fruit beer. I made a 5 gallon batch and when I went to keg I split off 1 gallon and added 1.5 cups of fresh pomegranate juice (of which i flash blended to separate...

Here's my first post. Thank you everyone for all the information I have used to brew my first few home brews and now I have a question. So, I really want to start a microbrewery but I am not able to produce the required minimum gallons per year, well yet anyway. So in the mean time I was...
