So I have had two kegs that have been nothing but foam, so I think I have an issue somewhere in my system. As the keg is sitting I can see foam forming in the lines, bubbling constantly up out of the tap. 3/16 line that is about 6' long. I know the length of line might be too short, but I'm not...

I'm looking to sell my all electric brew system. It has the capacity to do only 3 gallon all grain, but it works awesome. I just haven't been into brewing lately, so I wanna get rid of it. Asking $900 I'll be including: 110v control box Kettle Chillzilla counter flow wort chiller Pump...

I'm trying to get close to the Breckenridge Brewery Agave Wheat. The grain bill has all the grains listed on their website, but I am just guessing as to how much of each there should be. I would think I might have too much crystal and Munich. This is for a 3 gallon BIAB Grains & Adjuncts...

I am working on installing a weldless ball valve on my kettle and I am following Kal's, or theelectricbrewery.com and using their technique for attaching the valves. The issue is that the female compression fitting I got from Bargain Fittings will not tighten enough over the nipple to seal...

So I got basically all my inspiration for this build here and decided to build my own. So far I have nearly everything ordered and as assembled as I can. Right now the only things I don't have are my 32 qt Bayou Classic kettle and the GreatBrewEh beer pump. I'm using all quick disconnects...

I have brewed this beer twice, increasing the hop bill substantially the second time around and I am still disappointed at the lack of hop taste. It smells really good and hoppy, and it is fairly bitter, but the hop flavor like that of Dale's Pale Ale is just not there. The beer is based on...

I made some of the caramel apple cider from a recipe on here and I am finally able to throw some in the fridge, however the plastic bottle I used to figure out how long to carbonate has a LOT of sediment. I used the Whole Foods 365 apple juice. The first picture is the majority of the...

I currently own and operate a small screen printing company in Golden, CO and I am getting ready to sell the company, hopefully. I am hoping to look into getting a job at a brewery here in Colorado, preferably a full-time position. I feel like everywhere I go I see a new brewery opening, and...

I recently got to take a tour of Oskar Blues and I was picking the tour guide's brain about some of the ingredients in Deviant Dale's IPA, (which is amazing if you haven't had it before.) I learned at Oskar Blues they use exclusively California Ale yeast, and another interesting fact is that...

So I brewed this black IPA recipe that I came up with by frankenstein-ing some other recipes. I drank one for the first time last night and it was really good! Most impressive was the smell, very hoppy and delish. What I wanted to improve on was making it closer to a double black, and...

So I turned a small cabinet I found in the basement into a fermentation cabinet by lining the inside with some insulating sheathing, sticking a lightbulb in a paintcan for the heater, and a couple fans to try to keep the box cool. I have one fan pulling air from the outside into the box over...

So I finally got to taste my first brew today, and it tastes pretty good if you can get around the serious buttery taste and smell... From reading online it sounds like this is definitely a symptom of excess diacetyl. This brew was an oak aged IPA kit from CraftABrew. I noticed after I...

So my mom owns a craft store and I asked her if there was any sort of ink that would work to stamp a little something on the caps of beer bottles and she gave me this ink called Stazon, and with some little stamps I was able to pretty easily mark my beers in kind of a cool way. This is my IPA I...

So I brewed an amber ale recipe given to me by a local shop on Friday, which was 2 days ago and all went well, until today I realized when I looked at the ingredient sheet that the recipe was for a 3 gallon batch, but I only made it for 2.5 as I thought that was what the guy at the shop said it...

Hey there brewers! My name is Nick, recently turned 21 :mug: and had some friends of mine turn me on to home brewing. I've started a couple batches and am waiting for them to finish, but I'm excited to try it! Trying to start out small and maybe work my way up to bigger batches. Looking forward...
