Been watching Star Wars a lot lately since my kid thinks it's cool, so this seemed appropriate: Comments, suggestions, and critiques welcome

I'm hoping someone here can help me out a little. I have a Summer Ale recipe I've been brewing that has bee really popular with visitors. I've recently started doing AG and I'd rreally prefer not to have to do an extract. If someone could convert this to AG for me, I'd be most appreciative...

Just had to share with everyone... Had one of the best brew days of my life yesterday. Started about 11 yesterday morning by heating the mash water to do a Rapsberry Wheat (request from SWMBO). Everything went great. While I was mashing I also transferred my Blonde Ale to the secondary. The...

I just filled my first keg today!!:ban: I have a question about the CO2 tank....I have it in the fridge with the keg and I'm not sure if this is normal....When I first opened the cylinder, the gauge on the tank side said it was in the full range, no problems. It's been going for a few hours...

Finnaly got all the parts for my kegerator conversion today. :ban: I'm in the process of getting it set up (pics to follow soon, hopefully). Anyway, I got a question about the CO2 lines: I bought a two keg conversion kit from kegkits.com. It came with one regulator and a tee fitting to split...

I just ordered my kegerator conversion kit (anxiously awaiting the UPS guy) and I need to find out if there's a good place in the Orlando area to get the CO2 tank filled. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

I'll be bottling an American Wheat next weekend. I've got about 1/2 pound of wheat DME (Munton's 55% wheat/45% barley) that I have no plans for in the immediate future. I figure I'd experiment with priming my bottles with the DME just to see how it turns out. My question is how much DME should I...

I'm getting ready to make the jump to AG very soon. I'm in the process of getting the mashing equipment all put together and what not. Question is this- I have a couple of extract recipes that are REALLY tasty. Is there a method of converting the amount of extract in a given recipe to what...

Quick question regarding the rubbermaid coolers for use in mashing- I just scored one off craigslist for $10. It's only a 5 gallong, though. Will this work for mashing enough grains for a 5 gal batch or will this only be good to do pm's. I'm really looking to make the jump into AG, but if this...

Wow, I'm just full of questions today!! Anyway, sorry for all the n00b questions, just want to make sure I'm not ruining my beer... I'm getting ready to brew my 2nd batch this weekend and I'm using a yeast starter for the first time. I'm using one of those Wyeast starter packs. I followed the...

Well, I went into the closet today to begin getting everything for my brew session this weekend (2nd batch!!) and I think I have a little probelm. I noticed that my primary fermenter (A 6.5 gallon food grade plastic bucket) still smells like the last batch is still fermenting in it!:( I...

I read in one of my (many) homebrew books that using unflavored gelatin in the secondary is a pretty good way to help clarify beers. I have a question about how to use it... My book says to stir a 1/2 tsp into a cup of cold water and let it sit for 30 minutes. It then says to slowly heat it to...

First off, this is really more or less just for piece of mind, but... Friday night I brewed a California Common. Pitched the yeast (dry yeast starter) at about 9:30 pm and sealed the fermenter. Checked it on Sat. morning and the airlock was bubbling at a pretty good pace. Checked it again...
