I'm looking to borrow a 1-5/8" Green Lee punch to enlarge 1 hole from 1.25 to 1-5/8in. I've got 2 Pot & Kettle's left from my last trip to Trillium that I'd be willing to send back with the punch. :)

I've got a Blichman 20G kettle that has a 1.25" hole in it for an electric element. I had it wired up with a junction box on the outside (Kal style), and after 2 years of using it I needed to pull it apart to replace the element. Instead of just re-doing what I had, I'm looking to get a...

SWMBO told me that someone at work mentioned a new homebrew shop opened up a few months ago on the Hartford/West Hartford line. That was all she got, no name or more specific area. A search on the Google didn't turn anything up - not sure if this is true, has anyone heard anything about a new...

I've got a jar of Maple Smoked Bacon Candi Syrup lying around that I want to throw in a porter/stout this weekend. I looked around the forums and didn't see many folks talking about this ingredient. My first thought was to take a popular Porter recipe (Bee Cave Brewery Robust Porter?) and...

I have some 1056 sitting in primary in a beer I made last weekend, the OG of that beer was 1.036. I want to make this clone of BCBS, with an expected OG of ~1.13. Can I harvest the yeast from my current beer and re-use it? Or is the difference in gravities too large? Should I make a...

I brewed a chocolate espresso stout last weekend, and I missed my OG 1.093 instead of 1.083. I just realized that I used 8 oz of cocoa MIX instead of cocoa powder at the beginning of the boil. What are the ramifications of this? If its less chocolate tasting I'm ok with that, but will I have a...

I'm planning on brewing NB's 115th Hopburst IPA this weekend (AG), and I've got a few questions - The recipe says it should yield 6 gal of wort. I've got a 6 gallon carboy and several 5 gallon carboys. Should I split this into 2 5gal carboys, or use my 6gal carboy and leave a little bit of...

I just finished brewing NB's Tongue Splitter Pale Ale (AG). It was my first brew with my new Concord 15gal pot. I started the boil w/ 6.5 gallons, but I ended up short. I had way more evaporation than I anticipated. You can see in the attached picture, I ended up with about ~4.25-4.5...

I've had NB's Sinistral Warrior IPA in primary for two weeks, so I'm ready to move it to secondary. I've got some left over pellet hops in the freezer from an earlier brew, and was wondering if I can throw them in the secondary for this. I've got: 0.5 oz Cascade 0.5 oz Northdown 1/8 oz...

Some friends and I brewed an Oatmeal Stout extract on 1/16 (recipe attached). We took an OG reading of 1.030. Unfortunately we didn't realize at the time that that was well below the expected OG of 1.060. I let it ferment for a week and it was at 1.023 last night. It's target is 1.017...
