Hey guys, it's been a few years since I've been on the site thanks to "real life" but I'm back! I've been waiting to upgrade my rig to 15g kettles and a B10 type build. Basically the brew stand is keeping me from getting there at the moment and I'm starting to think about just getting the...

BrewDay 3-1-09 Morning Dew IPA Hello HBT, I haven't ever posted pics of my brewery before so I took a few shots during todays session. I hope everyone gets as much of kick out of looking at these as I do viewing all yours! Started off by gathering the grain bill together. 12lbs in all...

I just got my kegerator project finished and now I'm able to reep the benefits of kegging. There is a competition I wanted to enter in a few weeks with a brew that's ready to be bottled or kegged right now. I'm just wondering if anyone has filled a bottle out of the tap and capped it? I...

I started a smack pack Saturday at 6pm thinking i was brewing sunday morning. I got sick and didn't brew yesterday. How long do I have to get that yeast to into wort?

Hey guys, I was looking for a sticky that talked about this I was certain there was one but I can't find it. Sorry for re-asking if that's the case... My newest batch has been in primary only since Saturday 4pm. It was vigorously fermenting the first two days which is normal for me. Then it...

I was going to dry hop my IPA this morning, it's at the 10 day mark but the krasen is still way thick. It's been about the same thickness since day 1, real steady and strong fermentation happening. The airlock interval has fallen off but that doesn't mean it's not rocking in there. Usually I...

on the handle

Over the past 4 years since I've been with my wife I have completely turned her around. She is now officially a "beer snob". When we go out she gets excited to try new beers, I love it! This was all realized this year when she went out to her company golf tournament where beer was...

My first label idea... How it should look on the handle... I have no intentions of ever brewing commercial so I decided to call my home operation Deep Ellum Brews - the house brew (IPA) I'm calling Morning Dew and I have a smoked porter also that I call Lady With a Fan.

This weekend I shared the joy of homebrewing with my father in law. I kept the recipe simple to not overwhelm him but wanted to show him how AG sessions go. I just finished my first cooler->MLT conversion and saw the benefits right away. Hit my mash temp right on at 153. held for 60min. I...

Quite possibly my favorite beer on the planet. This beer is a solid everday all scenario beer. The brewery itself prides itself on "big beers". If you haven't already, check them out online at southern tier brewing company Take a look at some of the beers. Great stuff.

Here's my situation, I plan on brewing Saturday and forgot to make a starter ahead of time. I know, shame on me. Have any of you all grain brewers ever used the smack packs without creating a starter? If so what were the results? Thanks.

So as my screen name suggests, I like IPA's a little bit :) I have a top 3 but I can never pick an all out favorite. So I was wondering if we could talk about a few things in this thread. First: List your top 3 IPA's that are not homebrews. Second: In your area, what is your favorite...

Here's the situation: 11lbs of grains mashed at 1.20qts water/ 1 lbs grain. at approx 157F Mash wass a little thick, maybe should have mashed out to aid sparge but that went well all things considered. OG at 1.060 Fermentation starts quickly (about an hour or so) with Wyeast AM. Ale...

I'm from Buffalo, NY and have been brewing for 3 years now. I'm all-grain, all the way, and there's nothing better than that. I embrace the 6-8 hours it takes me to go from dough-in to sealing the primary. My favorite style is IPA(go figure) however I'm in the mood to move to porters for a...
