I'm planning a trip through germany, 4/26-5/4. I'm starting in munich, and I'll have a train pass allowing me to go pretty much anywhere. The sheer number of breweries, beer halls, etc is overwhelming. I was hoping some of the HBT folks would have advice on the best places to see. So far...

It just feels wrong. My Southern English Brown will be served at 46 degrees F, and I wish to have 1.5 volumes of Co2. According to the volume chart, I only need 3psi! I suppose I'll have to serve much higher just to get a head on the beer. I guess i could try and afix some sort of sparkler...

Hello, I will be traveling to the U.K., Germany, and Belgium between Dec 18 and Jan 8. Looking for advice on good beer events during those times, or any general recommendations for places to enjoy and learn about beer. I'm willing to go pretty far out of the way for beer, so anywhere near...

hello, I won't add too many details, but my dubbel should have finished at 1.012, and despite holding the beer at 175 for 4 days and obsessive rousing its petered out at 1.022. This batch was really just to grow some yeast, but now i'm worried that this strain has some nuances to it...

I need a place to put all this beer, preferably two... I would love to have one location at 50, and one at 35, but for now I think I should work on 50 and see what i learn. My tiny house and small garage are pretty packed, and as I rent I won't be building a shed. I want to re-purpose a...

Hi All, This forum is an awesome resource. I'm building a HERMSish system and I need some advice. After reading up on what others have done, I was thinking of something like this for the HLT: -Low Pressure Regulator -Honeywell Pilot Valve - I think I need an adapter to get this working on low...

I need several pounds of frozen fruit, and weird fruit at that. Where can a guy pickup 8 lbs of tart cherries or perhaps a metric ton of black currants? I'm in Manhattan beach, CA if that helps... Assuming i can find this stuff at all, advice one what brands etc are delicious would be greatly...

I've seen all over that PBW is percarbonate and sodium metasilicate with a surfactant and chelate. The first two ingredients are relatively easy to find, but i don't really know what to use as a surfactant or chelate. All I can think to do is squirt some dawn in the solution while i'm mixing...

so i made jamils witbier, i swapped the orange zest with meyer lemon zest because I had some home grown on hand. This was a mistake... The beer is off-puttingly lemon. I know this will never be a great beer, but it breaks my heart to dump it. Any ideas on salvaging? Fruit etc.?

I'm going to begin studying for the BJCP exam. I was looking into some study materials, and could use some direction. I was thinking of Purchasing Michael Jacksons Beer Companion, the first edition is 80$ cheaper and I was wondering if it was essential I buy the 2nd revised edition. More...

I am brewing a bigger beer and will be preforming a partial mash. As attenuation is a key here, i was planning on first mixing my DME completely into the mash water and then performing a partial mash of my grain using a muslin bag. I've altered the recipe to allow for a pound of 6 row in the...

This is pretty embarrassing. I have a nice stainless stand composed of 1.5" square. And I have one of the new march pump. I also have virtually no welding ability/gear. How to mount my pump with only clamps or bolts?

So I almost finished this guy before my neighbors informed me they don't feel polishing metal at 11:30PM is nearly as cool as i do.... I kinda like it the way it is Should I finish polishing, or just name this one two-face?

At GABF last night, I tried a carrot cake beer from shorts brewing. It was the strangest beer I've tasted and tasted exactly likeyhe real thing. Does anyone have a recipe for something like this? I'd very interested to see how it was done.

I am looking for Pumps, I was thinking the March 809s, unless there is something better out there. My first question, is why do so many systems have 2 pumps? Is there a point where its that much more convenient to have two? Is that so you can drain of wort and sparge at the same time? Also...
