It's that time of year and I was in the mood for a good pumpkin beer this fall. I found that Austin Homebrew had a Southern Tier Pumking clone and decided to order. I searched these forums as well as online and couldn't find any info on the quality of this kit. There's also no reviews on...

I would like to openly thank every member on this forum for the information and resources that turned me into an avid brewer. I began with a anniversary gift from my wife from midwest supplies (Starter brewer kit with the amber ale) and slowly grew into the hobby that i now love. I brewed...

Ok so I'm looking at buying a mini fridge for a kegorator build. I fou d a fridgidair on CL but they aren't sure of model. The fridge seems to be about 4.4 cubic feet.

So I'm sure we've all had the scenario where someone tastes a beer and say yours is better. Just yesterday I xfrd my Imperial stout from a primary fermenter to a secondary to bulk condition for 5-8 months. Of course I pulled some out to taste and it was already tasting pretty delicious. My...

So i decided to design this 7x3 for an imperial stout that im currently fermenting. I know there are several places i can order blank labels, but is there anywhere I can have custom 7x3 labels printed? Ive checked everywhere! Any critiques on the label?

ingredients for this recipe include 6 lb. Dark liquid malt extract, 6 lb. Amber liquid malt extract, 8 oz. Chocolate Malt, 4 oz. Caramel 120L, 8 oz. Roasted Barley specialty grains, 3 oz. Glacier and 1 oz. Willamette. Just finished this on 5-28-13 and started to ferment. Im fermenting it...

Finally decided to brew a cider for SWMBO. Used a tweaked recipe of the Caramel Apple Hard Cider going around on the forum. ITs around the 2 week barrier and decided to take a gravity reading to see if it was ready to bottle. Well i always take a glass with me to taste what I pull out with...

My gift to my groomsmen on Sept 1, 2012 will be a custom pilsner glass and some of my homebrew that I have bottle conditioning that I specifically made for them. I bought 6 pack carriers that are white. I wanted to write something on them that would give them a chuckle or a laugh. Any ideas???

I brewed my first 2 batches . 1. Autumn Amber Ale - which turned out ok but some off flavors because of temps 2. My pumpkin ale is bottle conditioning, but I've had a few in which it tastes ok so far. Now I was getting ready to brew my third batch and I knew that temp control was a must. I...

Has anyone brewed Austin homebrews dogfish head 90 min IPA? I love the stuff, seems like it's going to be my next brew but I'm just looking around right now. It has to be extract, possibly a mini-mash. If you haven't tried theirs, is there any you have tried?

I have no clue what I'm looking for or what I'm looking at. I'm sure you guys know what to look for. Scroll to the last page of the PDF for the report.http://www.amwater.com/files/PA_5260005_CCR.pdf

I purchased AHS American IPA kit. This came with the WLP001 yeast. I'm sitting at close to 60 hrs without any fermentation signs (airlock activity). Now I understand it could be working, but normally I would expect to see some type of movement by now. OG was 1.060 How long should I wait? Is...

Just recieved AHS American IPA Just wondering if I should go by their hop schedule or try something different. AHS Hop Schedule. @ 60min Add 1oz Summit @ 15min Add 1/2 oz Summit and 1/2 oz Falconer's Flight @ 1min Add 1oz Summit and 1oz Falconer's Flight Dry hopping with 1/2oz Summit and...

Ok, I live in a apartment, so space is definitely not a luxury. Anyways, I know a lot of people use swamp coolers. I was thinking of someway I could save on space. I came up with this idea. Make some type of wrap for the 5 gallon fermenter out of a material that can hold a good bit of water...

So I made the amber ale from Midwest supplies. Bottled conditioned for a month. The beer tastes pretty good for the first attempt. There's a few things that I can definitely improve on. Thanks to everyone on this forum, I am now addicted!

Who do we have brewing near pittsburgh pa? *stole the idea of the chicago thread :) *

I just realized that my bucket may be too big for a secondary. I have a pumpkin ale in the primary right now and want to move it to secondary to clear out all of the pumpkin. Unfortunately I only have my 6.5 gallon buckets. 1. Is the bucket too big to use...too much head space? 2. Should I...

My pumpkin ale is coming up in 2 weeks primary so I figure it's time to ask the question. I plan on adding 45oz of pumpkin to the fermenter. Should I just add it to primary, or rack to secondary and then add? I've already added about 50oz of pumpkin to the boil.

First batch almost 2 weeks into the bottle and it almost tastes medicinal or similar to a bandaid. I understand it could take longer to condition but this has me worried. I'm think my fermentation temps could have been a limitless higher than what I wanted. Anyone else know what this could be?
