    My clogged dip tube fix, is this a horrible idea?

    I kegged 2 dry-hopped beers last week before going on vacation. Came back to a couple of clogged dip tubes, I guess I racked a bit much trub into my kegs. I took apart the keg and the pop-it was stuffed full of hops, along with the dip tubes. I cleaned and put things back together, clogged...

    Batch Sparge Idea, Partial Boil for 20 Min...

    Poor Man's Dual Keg 'Tower' Kegerator

    This is a build that doesn't suit everyone's needs, but it seems to be perfect for me at the current time. I have a mini-fridge from college that I have bent the freezer portion down in order to allow 2 corneys to fit in. I don't want to spend the money for a dual tap tower as my money is...

    Fermentation chamber built with modified upright refrigerator.

    Well, I have been fermenting in my mini fridge to maintain the right temp, I have been looking for a larger place so I can ferment more than one beer at a time. I went to an auction yesterday and picked up an upright fridge for $25, quick measurements before the auction I knew this would fit 2...

    How do you know if you washed yeast correctly?

    When I bottled my last batch, I was getting ready to dump the yeast cake and thought to myself "I should see what this whole washing yeast thing is about". Without a real thought of using the yeast, I thought it would be a good thing to get practice with none the less. I didn't have any mason...

    Bought the wrong yeast, WYeast 1007 for an IPA?

    So, I stopped by my LHBS on my way home and grabbed the Brewer's Best IPA kit along with a few other goodies. I decided I'd use a WYeast Activator Pack as I didn't realize it came with yeast. Got home and realized I bought German Ale 1007 on accident. Would this be a good yeast to use for an...

    what should every brewer have on hand?

    I'm getting ready to place an order at morebeer for an IPA kit. I get free shipping if I spend over $59 so I plan to purchase a few extra items... What things should I always have a little extra of on hand that will keep fairly well? Light DME? Dry yeast? Priming sugar? What would you buy?

    Is this infected, or normal?

    I'm brewing my first batch, an Irish Red. Went into Fermenter Last Thursday, 5 days ago... The airlock went crazy for about 2 days, had consistent temp of fermentation chamber at 64*, between 2nd and 3rd day the A/C blew the fuse and it was 74* when I found out... I went to take my first...

    First Batch Quesiton, Broken Hydrometer.

    On Thursday 8/16 I began my first batch. While cleaning and sanitizing my equipment I broken my hydrometer... (I knew they were fragile, but didn't expect to break it before I even began!) So I have no reading from the start and no way to get a reading now. Beer I'm brewing is the Irish Red...
