I am going to be brewing up a berliner weisse here in a couple of weeks with a new method that I haven't tried before and was wondering which of these strains you guys would pick to sour wort with. I am going to be taking my full runnings and raising them to near boiling for 15 minutes to...

I have been diagnosing possible issues with my brewery and wanted to take a poll to see how people felt about my sparge volumes. Here are the current figures for the latest beer I brewed, a 10.25 gallon Cream Ale. For this beer I treated 15.5 gallons of water with the proper mineral additions...

I seen a couple of people asking for a clone of this beer and this is what I worked up and maybe someone would like to brew it and let me know how it turns out, I don't have time to brew this just yet but maybe someone does. Of course you will need to adjust the figures for your equipment and...

Have any of you found a decent RV/Potable water hose that doesn't seem to impart a vinyl/plastic smell into the water that passes through it? I am going to attempt to clean my RV hose and see how it turns out but i've used it on probably 15-20 brews so far and it still imparts a slight...

I have seen a couple of examples of recirculation fans on here that were mounted to the lid of a chest keezer and I have been thinking of doing the same but at the same time I want to place it in the bottom of the keezer to pump cold air to the top of the unit and was wondering if any of you...

I'm about to build up a keezer on a 15cu/ft chest with a collar and previously with kegging I have used small stainless worm gear clamps which were easy to source/install but really I want something with a much cleaner look that provides equal pressure at all points. I am thinking about going...

Got in a hurry after a 12 hour brew day yesterday and left my fermcap-s out of the refridgerator for about 18 hours until I remembered 5 minutes ago. I have attempted to lookup the active ingredient for this product and haven't found much information on it other than the all labels say "Keep...

I am looking at picking up a new 32 quart SS pot for a 5 gallon CB20 build and was wondering what you guys thought about the following pots. http://www.katom.com/158-5723932.html This pot has almost symmetrical dimensions being around 13 1/4" deep and around the same for the width so it's...

Got a SN celebration recipe fermenting away with WLP001 and the fermentation smell is absolutely horrible, worse than any liquid yeast I have used yet and anything from apfelwein I have made. Anyone else notice this yeast has a horrible stench to it?

endless hours of fun. I think the 1988 look is pure win.

Well this weekend I brewed a 10 gal batch of APA and just bought a thermo that I can drop in the carboy to monitor the temp of the wort coming out of the chiller and I was surprised and pissed to see that it was at 80'F even after using a 20' 3/8" OD pre chiller in an ice bath and using a 30'...

Need some help on my boil off figures for going to 10 gallon batches. Currently I am using a setup where I am boiling off roughly 35.75% of volume off in a 90 minute boil to end up with a 5.5 gallon final cold volume. These boils are starting off at 8.56 gallons pre boil due to the liquid...

Was wondering what you guys have done to variably control the speed of the March pump since it has no potentiometer built onto it. Ideas?

Looking for some ideas to design a pickup tube for my HLT and BK, anyone have any pointers of bending 1/2" OD Soft Copper tubing in small lengths? I am currently running a 1/2" x 1/2" brass straight compression fitting to about a 6" length of soft copper tube into flat bottom kettles, I am...

I am going to be picking up a March 809 HS soon and I am wondering what you guys would recommend for fittings, should I go with polypropylene or would it be OK to go with a brass fitting? Also I have an option here, I can order it from BMW (Which I would prefer) but the input side of the...

Got a Brett infection in a porter of mine, so far it has touched the carboy, bung, airlock, blow off tube, blow off vessel, hydro tube, and sample taker. I have thrown away the bung, airlock, and blow off tube. I want to eliminate this infection completely and dump this beer, can it be done or...

This picture is korndogs pic so all credit goes to him for this but I came back from vacation today to find a brett pellicle sitting on top of the blow off vessel on my porter. I went ahead and chunked the entire blow off setup (hose, airlock, and bung) and put a cleaned bung and airlock on it...

Well the RIS I brewed under attenuated and ended up stopping at 1.040 so I am probably going to attempt a repitch with Nottingham or something. Not exactly sure why I got poor attenuation on this beer, it started out at 1.106 and I used 2 properly hydrated packets of US-05 and used pure O2...
