Well, I ventured into my first 10 gallon brew day. Now I really see why they call it a brew DAY. It was a Biermuncher Cream of Three Crops that I sub'd Liberty for Crystal because I didn't have any. My efficiency was way higher than expected too. I planned on 70% and hit 78%, ended up with...

A while back I posted about my porter and how I thought it turned out excellent but hadn't finished bottle conditioning. Well, I brought a 6'er to work and (after work of course) shared a bottle with a half a dozen of my friends to take home and try. So far, 3 have tried theirs and REALLY...

Can you ever get a plate chiller clean? I've run hot UBC (ultimate brewery cleaner) through it and flushed out my plate chiller with a garden hose several times and re-run cleaner through it but it still seems to spew chunks every time I rinse it. Would mixing up a concentrated solution...

I know someone that has a home health care business and I did some computer work for them recently. I simply asked and scored a great oxygen setup today. "D" aluminum cylinder and an adjustable regulator from 0.25L/min to 8L/min., free. He said when that the O2 runs out, bring it back and...

Okay, wife and kids are out of the house and I'm into some Evo Primal Pale Ale (didn't have any homebrew cold), and I thought I'd pose the question. How old is your oldest keg? I've got one stamped March 11, 1964....nine years older than me. :D

Okay, I've semi-successfully brewed a drinkable beer from all grain but I have an odd flavor in the beer I can't really describe. I've looked at the websites that go through all the off and/or bad flavors but none of them seem to be what I detect in the beer. Could it be a clash with hops...

I searched for info on this and found some threads that confirmed that the camlocks from bargain fittings and proflow dynamics are the same but how about the camlocks from austin homebrew? They look like the same ones; does anyone know?

I brewed and fermented out some beer. Ran it through a filter and kegged it up. After 3 weeks or so in the keg I decided to bottle it as I don't have a kegerator. Everything was cleaned with Starsan, all bottles were run through the dishwasher and stored neck down a few days before and then...

Hello, Wondering if I could get some opinions on a recipe I came up with in BeerSmith. It's for an Amber Ale and I'm looking for a malty, honey-ish, beer with low to moderate hops and I'm not sure if some of my grains might conflict or give some undesired effects. Here it is: Recipe...

Hello all! I've been brewing beer as of mid March of this year. I've been making wine since 2006, mainly from kits, but also from grape juice; my first real harvest from grapes I planted in '06 will be this year. I got some last year but harvested them to early and the wine was to acidic to...
