Well, I replied to a thread where pldoolittle talked about a cold box, with was basically an insulated box that kept the fermenting temperatures around 66 degrees, but I fear that it may be left by the way side. As a brewer who lives in Georgia, this held my interest. Basically, room...

Does anyone use this set-up? Basically use two plastic fermenters, both with spigots. You would use one as the primary, when its done use the spigot to transfer into the bottling bucket, then bottle. I realize that getting too much trub in the bottling bucket might be a concern, but it seems...

Hey all, I was just wondering what the prices were like at your LHBS. The one I use, Blockader Homebrew Supply in Athens, GA, has the following prices. $1.50 per pound of grain, but if you buy 10+ lbs then its only $1.25/lb This includes all types of grain. Its been a while since I did...

Currently I'm using the swamp cooler method on my plastic fermenter (wet towel in water around the fermenter). I also have the fermenter under the ceiling fan to try to maximize the cooling. However, even with all this its still fermenting at 75 degrees according to my digital thermometer. It...

Hey all, From what I've read, some of you send homebrews to each other for tasting and maybe bragging rights :D . Anyway, my question is, whats the best way to send them through the mail? How do you pack them up and such? Thanks

Hello friends, My first AG experience went well, despite a terrible efficiency, and this time I really want to try to make a good hefeweizen, since it is probably my favorite style. Here is what I'm thinking. 4.5# Malted Wheat 4.5# Malted Barley .5# Carapils Wyeast 3056 Bavarian Wheat...

Hey all, So on my last brew I did a Belgian golden ale, and I finally made a beer that had good clarity while chilled. However, I then noticed small flakes of something, presumably hops since they are solid, floating in many of the beers. I'm not sure if I've always had these and just never...

Ok, so I decided to switch to AG to save money as well as to improve my beer. I do not, however, have the setup to boil all the wort at once, so I'm going to split it into two separate boils. Most places I've read recommend doing 2 one hour long boils and splitting the hops up among the two...

So in about a month I'm having friends over for my 22nd birthday, and it just dawned on me that I should definitely brew a batch strictly for the party. Any ideas on a good style and recipe for an occasion such as this? I've already brewed an American pale ale, and oatmeal porter, and an...

Hey everyone, My name's Taylor and I'm currently a student at the University of Georgia. I got interested in homebrewing after watching the Good Eats episode about brewing beer. So far I'm on my third brew, my first being an american pale ale (which didn't turn out very well, the bitterness...
