In December I decided to build a brew rig, 4+ months later, brew rig :rockin: I managed to build my single tier HERMS on lurking Homebrewtalk.com only! All the info is here. Last weekend I tested the burners, PID, gas valves. I used water in the system to check for leaks and to see how long it...

I am a firm believer in tasting every stage of the beer, but for some reason I had never tried the raw crushed grain. My friend came over before I brewed yesterday, he grabbed a few pinches of crystal 60 and ate it! I tried it, it was delicious! Over the past 5 years of brewing I don't know why...

Me and my dog (Barley) are brewing a barleywine this morning, it should be a good day :mug:

I want to brew a barleywine and treat a few gallons of it like an eisbock and stuff some of it in the closet for a few years. I did a little research on my deep freezer, it may get down to -10F to -15F. Does anyone have an idea what percentage of ABV it would yield if I stuck 3 gallons of...

I'm about 3.5 years deep into keeping the bottles of different beers I have tried. Some have come across the US borders, a few from Greece, and my proudest Legado De Yuste brewed by a monastery in Barcelona and sold only locally. I think there are 249 on the shelves, I need to reserve some time...

I plan on brewing the Dogfish Head 90min IPA clone in the morning. It calls for 1.66lbs of Amber malt, I just realized I only have 1lb. I have several other grains that I could try using as a substitute to get the color or use the 1lb and just lack a little bit of color, I am more concerned...

Potentially cancer-fighting beer, neat article. This is why I love Tx, we are able to turn great things into GREATER things!:rockin: Study seeks commercialised resveratrol beer breakthrough

D@#N hurricane, I know alot of people tearing the sheet rock out of there homes and plenty of people who don't have homes anymore because of flooding. It sucks, we made out well... No damage. I got to drink a bunch of 85F degree HB we got some ice after a couple days. There was nothing else to...

The SWMBO and myself are using the labor day weekend to stay with some friends in Houston. We are going to do some pub crawling, SWMBO wants to go find some fall brews and Oktoberfests shes never had. We share the passion of drinking good beer (What a hobby!) :mug: Am I going to see any of you...

I've been making bread for a while, it always comes out good but Its not really fluffy like I like it. I can knead it for 20 - 30 minutes and its never gets smooth and elastic. Whats the deal? Anyone want to tell me how you do it? I know your out there!

I am an all grain brewer, I've never brewed an extract beer. I have used extract because of missed target gravity before. Anyways, I've been brewing for 11 months now and in that time I've never had a brew with good lace. A few brews have it but it is minimal and most of the time no lace at all...

Anyone ever had a fowl smelling fermentation with this strain? As soon as it started fermenting it reeked of a smell almost like rotten eggs. This is my first Oktoberfest, and my first fowl ferment.... Fowl for my nose.... The SWMBO thinks they all stink.

What ever is going on here wasn't a problem last night, this was brewed 2 weeks ago. Its a brown ale, I've never seen this happen, anyone have any experience with this?

I had my rhizome planted about 2 and a half weeks ago. We have had steady 75 - 80 degree weather, and I had no shoots. I just dug it up, it has root rot on both ends of the rhizome. The middle of it still looks strong, and there are a couple of roots extending, but its not much more than what...

Lately I've brewed a few Lagers. I always wash my yeast cakes from the bottom of the primaries. When I do that, I get a lot of yeast in one jar; about 10oz mason jar full of yeast, almost to the top (after refrigerating). I will make a starter while I am brewing, let the yeast party for about 4...

I know people harvest their hops towards the end of season after they have grown large and maintained flowers. What is wrong with picking off/harvesting the hops through out the season? (if you can access the plant) or is that a problem. It seems to me that picking the hops when they grow, would...

How do you keep you recipes, prices for brews, gravities, efficiencies, all those little thing you write down to keep track. I use Microsoft word, but mines just getting messy and hard to read, I've got quite a few beers down and growing. I need a better system, anyone have any ideas or suggestion?

I ordered the Wyeast 1084 Irish Ale, it was smacked during shipment and I just put it in the fridge. I wasn't planning on brewing for another week, so today I pull it out. I'm trying to make my starter, but the yeast is not cooperating to well. I will give them some more time; maybe they are...
