It is unfortunate that American Craft Breweries are slowly moving towards centrifuges, the idea behind the Craft Brew movement in America was not to lasso in BMC drinkers with looks but taste and creativity. Vanity has no place here. IMO the filter is one thing but the centrifuge has no place...

Kind of an abstract idea, but has anyone boiled a small amount of water and an ounce of hops for an hour, strained, then poured in a keg? Cheers,

Homebrew club has a competition every year called Iron Mash. You are given a box of ingredients and you can use as many or as little ingredients to make a declared style. Wanting to make something interesting, I decided to make a Peach IPA. Brewed on 11/5/2011 OG 1.075, tasted very hoppy FG...

A buddy of mine has mustang grapes that grow wild in his backyard. They have been destemmed and were frozen about 6 months ago? Is this something to be concerned with? Three 1 gallon bags were filled. I’m hoping this adds up to 20 lbs. Are there any rough estimates as to how much a gallon...

Well, I decided to use rosemary, sage, and tarragon in a Christmas beer without doing any research on how much is appropriate. Also I used 2 vanilla beans and orange peels that were lightly baked, and a pound of brown sugar. I used 5 sprigs of tarragon and what looked like an equivalent...

I am looking for a projet and I was thinking about a counterflow bottler filler that woul fill three at a time. So i started doing some research and and came across Climax Brewing Company. They machined a 6 bottle filler. I have atached the link. 4-5 minutes in and they feature their filler...

Well we finally have received all our licenses, and we will be brewing the first batch tomorrow. It’s a small system, but we feel like we will have more control and will just have to brew more often, what a bummer. We have some more fermentors on the way so, more pictures too come the final...

I have several 50 ml high-clarity polypropylene centrifuge tubes. Does anyone know of any reason why these should not be used? I was thinking of possible using them as slant tubes. I know they are larger than normal, but other than that, does anyone see an issue with this? here is link...

If you are looking for a way to chill your beer quicker on a budget, this pump works great when submerged in an ice bath and pumped through your chiller. http://www.harborfreight.com/200-gph-miniature-submersible-fountain-pump-68372.html Cheers,

SABCO Brew magic came in yesterday, its beautiful!! STOKED!!!

Fermentor or Fermenter? I am under the impression that a fermenter is a simple sugar that yeast ferments, and a fermentor is a vessel for fermentation. What do you say? Cheers,

So I have been doing some research on esters. Primarily I read that Ethyl acetate attributes solvent, nail polish remover flavor/smell. But I have seen other data that attributes the flavor/smell of ethyl acetate to bubble gum and pear drops. I have never had a pear drop but from my...

This has been discussed before, but I would like to retouch on the subject. Last night I was drinking a Hefe a friend made, he had dubbed this beer simply "Clove". So I am anticipating a beer with a phenolic nose to it and a spicy taste. I like cloves, but I am starting to wonder if I had a...

FYI Get a hold of some Super San Diego yeast from White Labs, it is great, similar to WLP 001 but attenuates in one week. Cheers,

I am planning on building a herms system. Wanted some input on my controls: RANCO ETC 24V specifications listed here: http://www.etcsupply.com/ranco-etc112000000-24v-p-102.html Honeywell VR8300A Continuous Pilot Combination Gas Control Electrical Ratings: Voltage and Frequency: 24...

Who is in? I want to brew some porters, same time line and schedule, and we can compare. Who wants some...? This is a challenge!

MMMMM its Good, just got it on tap at my Bar, thought I was going to float it myself....

noob'n it up today I got some WLP001 under about an inch of beer. It has been there since I racked the beer off of it about two weeks ago. from experience is this too long to let the yeast hangout. It is at a temp of less than 45*. I am going to brew today and I am debating on whether to...
