Man! I hope that isn't a bad omen for this BCS Kolsched Cream Ale. I knocked it off the table by accident. Good thing I have a backup.

I run a very basic HERMS through a 10 GAL Rubbrmaid cooler MLT by recirculating through a copper coil submerged in a cooking steamer/fryer full of water. It's low rent, but it effectively maintains temps +/- 1 degree once I get it set. My question is how often do you RIMS/HERMS folks...

Alright fellas, I just got my well water analysis from Ward Laboratories, which I learned about here on HBT, thanks... Here it is: pH 6.5 Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) Est 46 Electrical Conductivity...

I've uploaded a few pictures to my gallery here at HBT, but I cant seem to figure out how to post them within a thread... I've clicked the "insert image" and copied and pasted the URL but it doesn't seem to work. Am I trying to do something that can't be done? Do I need to find a place...

I've ordered couple of times from brewmasterswarehouse and must say they have the best customer service I've come across in all my home-brewing affairs. Let me tell you why I feel this way. They offer inexpensive flat rate shipping, 6.99 on most orders. (For us east-coast folks that means...

So yesterday was a snow day. We don't get too many of those in southern VA, so I thought I would take advantage of the opportunity and brew a cream ale, (maybe I should have gone with a winter warmer). Everything was going great, hit my mash temp, boil volume gravity was spot on, caught up on...

I planted two hop rhizomes this year, one goldings, the other cascade. Although the goldings is 12 ft high there were no blooms and thus no cones. The cascade on the other hand, is 15 ft tall and covered with cones now. I need a good recipe to honor the grand occasion of my first hop...

With an invitation on the table, to Harvard professor Henry Gates and Cambridge Police Sgt. James Crowley, to visit the White house and have a BEER with President Obama, I wondered if any of you folks had any plans to brew up a special batch for this wondrous occasion. :mug:

I finally got my two tap keezer finished last week. It's a Magic Chef 7.2 cf freezer with a Ranco controller set at 38 and a 6" collar. My kegging equipment is from Kegconnection.com and consist of two cornies, a double regulator, 10 lb tank, 5' of 3/16 beer line and Perlick taps. I kegged...

I've got a batch of "Two Hearted Ale" clone that weighs in at 1.064 OG 1.007 FG. I mashed @ 150 for 75 min, boiled for 90 min, chilled to 72 degrees and pitched a starter I made after harvesting the yeast of a Bell's Two Hearted Ale sixer. I fermented for 7 days then dry hopped in the primary...

Well, my motherload of ingredients I ordered earlier this week didn't show up today in time for tomorrow (Brewday)... Ive got some stuff on hand but I'm not sure I have a recipe worth. Problem is I've only got a handful of hops on hand. If any of you folks have a minute to look over my...
