I'm planning on brewing a some IPA's, pale ales and a double IPA soon and i'm looking for some feedback on yeast choice. I've been using WLP-001 almost exclusively for my hop forward pale ales and amber ales. But, i've been hearing great things about WLP-090 from this forum and my local...

Thanks, I just bought new plastics, and as I mentioned new yeast. Hopefully the next batch turns out well. Happy and successful brewing to you all!

The last couple batches i've had to toss down the drain due to infection. I've tried soaking them in bleach, then rinsing, then soaking with Oxyclean, rinse and finally StarSan. And again i've had issues. Are there other methods of sanitizing glass carboys? (It may potentially be my...

@badlee: Yeah, it is great to have a supportive and great community. @Soilworker: Thanks, now I can keep my eyes open for future ECY sales, and not worry about border nonsense.

WOW! I brewed this up Jan 2013, and got lazy and didn't want to bottle it, so I forgot about it for a while. I recently found it and kegged it up last week (Jan 2014). AMAZING! I'd drink this over many commercial ciders. A second batch will be going into a fermenter soon! Hopefully I can...

I've been itching to buy some EC20 from love2brew.com. Unfortunately, I live in Canada, and they don't ship here. I was going to get it shipped to the border and pick it up by the ferry (close to where i work) has been shut down due to ice in the river. And now it looks like they are out. I...

I was listening to the Jamil show, and he mentions leaving it in the carboy for only 1 month, I figured it would pick up more character in the keg. But, if the consensus is to leave it in the carboy for a couple more months before the keg, I'll let it sit. I'm in no hurry. Kept everything in...

I'm currently fermenting an Oud Bruin using Jamil's recipe from CYBI. I'm wondering, is it necessary to transfer off the primary yeast (I used US-05), before adding my Roselair blend? Or can I keep the beer on the yeast, and just pitch the blend on top? I should be in the fermenter for about...

Looks like my sensor probe was the issue. I detached the wires, and reattached them, and the unit seems to be working perfectly now. I'm letting it go overnight, and I'll see how it is in the morning.

I just tried that, and it worked for a while. But, the light isn't on anymore, and the stc is flashing again.

A friend made me an STC-1000 to help control the temperature of a freezer. It was working fine for a couple of weeks. But when I got home today, my freezer wasn't cooling (I tested the freezer and plugged it directly to the wall, and it started cooling). The lights on the STC were all...

Has anyone had any experience using Chrome Plated faucets, or stainless steel? I'm looking to buy three faucets, and for the price of one stainless faucet I can buy three chrome. Is there a flavour difference? Will the chrome affect my beer in any way? These are the two i've been looking...

Hmm, normally when I've brewed with Cascade I haven't experience that amount of grapefruit flavour, maybe I need more during my dry hop. Amarillo and centennial might have to be added to my next brew so I can taste it. I might not be able to find comet where i'm at. I heard that citra has a...

I have usually stayed away from brewing IPA's in the past because of a bunch of failures when I started brewing. But, i've changed up my technique a bit, and I also got into kegging, so that's going to quickly change. This past weekend I went to Cleveland for the long weekend, and got to...

For a while I had a half dozen bottles of Ficher, a French beer that came in 660mL. I found that was the best size. I found my 1L and 750mL bottles were too much for me. But great for sharing.

Texasbrewer73, how did you remove your door moulding? I've read that the DAR440BL has screws holding the moulding in place, the one I just bought does not. What was your experience?

I just got the Danby DAR440W to be used to turn into a kegerator. But, when I took off the seal on the door to unscrew the moulding I found out there weren't any screws. Has anyone else bought the DAR440W/DAR440BL recently? How did you remove the door moulding? did you just use a dremel? or...

Brewery lane is on torbay road. Super nice guys, and they are starting to get a lot more stuff.

That pellicle shot is beautiful. If that were my beer, I would be framing that picture. I look forward to hearing how this turns out down the road.

I was looking at wine tanks and was wondering if they would be good candidates to be used for fermenting beer. Sure the tank doesn't have a conical bottom. But other than that is there any reason these tanks could not be used for larger batches? I found some "inexpensive" tanks and it got my...
