Between buying a boat and getting married two years ago I haven't had much free time for brewing. :( I finally have some free time and got tired of looking at my empty taps. So threw a nut brown ale in the fermenter.:) Hopefully I can do a few more batches and fill all my kegs before boating...

Anyone know of any good brewpubs in Manhattan?

I decided to try to primary in a 5 gallon glass carboy yesterday for the first time and all I can say is WOW! I woke up this morning to an overflowing airlock and quickly put a blowoff tube on. Its a Hex Nut Brown from MW with the Munton's 6 gm dry yeast. This thing is going crazy! It...

Woke up to cloudy, cold, and wet outside today. Since I can't do any outside work I decided to brew all day. :rockin: Had a Fat Tire clone and a Nut Brown kit sitting in the fridge calling my name this morning. I ordered a kit three weeks ago and another two weeks ago thinking I would have...

I'm loving this hobby! But man is it expensive. I just went to order my next brew ingredients online and ended up with $300 worth of stuff in my cart. :cross: Good news is my kegerator is about to get two more taps, kegs, a gas splitter, and all new beer/gas lines. :mug: I'm not...

So I have my first batch (Bavarian Wheat kit from MW) in my secondary and am wondering if I should keg or not? I had a few two many brew day beers while brewing and forgot to take a OG reading. :drunk: sorry. It was in the primary for 7 days and activity had prety much stopped with A FG of...

Brewed my first batch last night and have it in the fermenter. It is a Bavarian Wheat kit from Midwest. I've been reading that Wheat beers tend to blowout of the fermenter sometimes and this has me worried. I have it in my living room closet because it is just too cold to put it in the...

$30, a trip to HD, and about an hour of bending tubing and scratching my head.:confused: And I'm ready to brew!:ban: I can't believe how easy it was. I'm heating up some water right now to give it a trail run. Hopefully I'll be brewing this afternoon. Parts. All done! Testing...

I've been thinking about brewing my own beer for 15 years now but never pulled the trigger until now. The brewbug bit me again a few months ago and I found this site. :rockin: After lurking for a while I ordered the brewing starter kit with glass carboy and a Bavarian Wheat recipe kit from...
