So last week a ridiculous deal came through on homebrewfinds.com 25 Gal BK with false bottom for $155 I couldn't pass it up and went for it.. Well I had been slowly gathering materials to build my stand and never thought about doing 15/20 gal batches before.. So I'm not sure if I need to...

I'm actually in Portland, went to school in Eugene and moved back to portland a few years back. It sounds like I might need to return my hoses and get female to female gas hoses. Ill have to search around and maybe theres a spot like that in portland.. Only problem is I'm not sure how long...

The thing that I'm still confused about is the gas hose (C.) Has a male and female end. I figured the female end will hook up to the male orifice on the burner, so that leaves the male end trying to connect to the male end of the ball valve (B.). How do you get those two to connect?? Is there...

Hi all, forgive me for this post. I know there is a ton of help out there for this very issue, and I think that's whats led me to my current problem. I was following a diagram and purchased some parts, the parts finally came 3 weeks later and now I cant find the post! I've drawn a diagram...

Hey all, I have been brewing for a year and some time, just switched to all grain about 3 months ago (6 or 7 batches).. Currently I'm using 10g Bk, 10g cooler for MT and 8g aluminum pot for HLT.. I have two propane burners, but my setup is lacking.. Im constantly moving things because its all...

I'm thinking about trying this recipe this weekend. I prefer to use LME instead of DME, how should I alter the recipe to reflect that change?

both of those sounds like real good ideas.. thanks guys!

So i've brewed a few batches and i've always used the following process (I'm obviously leaving steps out) 1. Boil and add hops according to schedule 2. Cool and strain hops out as pouring into primary which for me is a big bucket. 3. Ferment for a week or so then rack to secondary fermenter...

The yeast i used was WLP320, it had a best used by April 2012 date.. the OG was 1.039.. i do have another carboy i can put it in if buckets aren't the right call..?

I am fermenting in a bucket.. its now closer to 30 hours and nothing really.. i did snap a picture.. what do you think?? I am very carful with sanitation.. I'm just very confused, this has never happened before.. but this is the first time I've used liquid yeast.. The guy at my local...

Sorry I just read the sticky about waiting 75 hours.. I'll just wait it out.. Sorry for not searching first

I brewed a wheat ale and pitched the liquid yeast 24 hours ago and still no movement in the airlock yet.. I know the answer is prob just chill back and leave it alone.. But as I'm very new to this I thought I should ask just incase there is something wrong and I needa do something before the...

Ive just started brewing a wheat beer and wanted to add a lil citrus or lemon to it.. the guy at my LHBS told me to add the peel to the boil with 5 min left... is it okay to squeeze the lemon in there as well to add a little more citrus flavor??

Great! Thanks for all the help.. I'll let you know how it turns out!

I didnt pitch more yeast, but there is a fair amount of yeast flakes sitting on top of the beer.. ive moved it to a warmer spot and wrapped it in blankets.. i did take gravity reading, and i believe it was 1.020 before i moved it to the secondary.. is there a possiblity that it was moved to...
