I don't have a fridge for temp control but I know it has a huge impact on your beer. I don't want to spend the extra $$ to build a ferm chamber at the moment so I looked into getting a fermenting jacket to hold me over. I thought I could build my own for cheaper and here is the final result. I...

Just had an Aha! Brewing moment. It's the moment that I found true happiness with a batch of beer I made. Its an IPA and It tastes so good I almost can't believe I made it. It's my 8th batch and I finally am completely happy with the flavor, carbonation, aroma, etc. What beer style and what...

I I used Irish Moss for the first time on my last batch and Jesus was that beer clear. I poured it an couldn't believe how clear it was! I could see straight through the glass and see the dishes sitting in the cupboard in the other side! If you haven't already, I suggest you use it for enhanced...

So I was strolling through Ikea last weekend with my lady when I strolled by a huge pallet of flip top bottles that were probably meant to be used for decoration, but me being the rebel and innovator I am went ahead and purchased two for bottling. :ban: I was wondering if anybody has ever used...

I broke the damn thing finally! I knew I would and was super careful but I got careless while drinking homebrew and bottling. I tipped it off my counter and it broke. Luckily it was in the tube and there was no mess haha It lasted 10 batches.

Hi guys, First let me say lots of good info on here and I've gotten prior help before from everyone on here which makes the process of brewing a breeze when I have questions! I will be starting my next batch soon, and have been thinking about going from a kit to my first partial mash, before...

Hey guys, I just had a question about my airlock real quick. I went to check how the brew was doing after leaving it to ferment last night, and I realized that the little cap that goes inside is missing. I must've forgot to put it in last night and now I can't find the damn thing! Haha Is...

So I'm on my third brew and made an APA. I've been buying local craft brews collecting bottles but by the end of the bottling session I discovered I miscalculated my bottle count! I was short and had batch primed and didn't want to let beer go to waste so I grabbed an empty 2 liter, sanitized...
