I just upgraded my 5 gallon turkey fryer to a 10 gallon spike kettle and blichmann hellfire. The burner and kettle are both awesome, but I'm looking to fine tune a bit. I noticed on my first brew day that on the 3 sides of the burner without the burner heatahield, I'm getting a ton of heat...

I know I know I know. Its been discussed a million times. I'm looking to find out if anyone has ever had any luck recharging one. I got an Avanti BD6000 off of the list of craig a few weeks ago and to my dismay, the damn thing doesnt get cold (it was 15 degrees out when I bought it so it...

Hey everyone. Long story short, I had a kegerator which was a joint purchase with my old roommate. It was a converted fridge that never kept temperatures correctly so I let him have it and I took the Plasma TV we split. He ended up using a temp controller on it and now it works great. Tonight...

Hey everyone, So I have been brewing 5 gallon batches for the past 18 months, I have about 20 batches under my belt and its time to upgrade 10 gallon batches and I have secured three kegs. Each keg will be converted into a keggle with the appropriate fittings for each kegs use. I am...

Does any one have any recommendations for a good but affordable scale that I could use for grain? I recently realized that my efficiencies were lacking, but that was due to a scale that telling me I was adding more grain than I actually was , thus my numbers were not as expected. I don't wanna...

Whats going on everyone. Been all grain brewing for about 6 months now, but still cannot seem to get my numbers where I'd like them. According to beersmith I am only being 60-68% efficient. I batch sparge with a rectangular cooler with a braided filter setup. Most styles I mash at 154ish and...

So I finally got a kegerator and dove right into the process. I charged my keg at 40psi for about 12 hours, then dropped to 30 for about 18 and then let it sit at 12psi for about 12 hours. Obviously I purged between each of those steps. The pour seems to be pretty good, I can fill a pint...

So I plan on brewing a DIPA this Saturday with an abv around 9 or 10. I have a 2L starter going already with a whitelabs California Ale V yeast. Can I use about 3/4 of the starter for the DIPA and then the other quarter for my pale ale from the second runnings? I only plan on this pale ale to...

My LHBS had lb's of cascade on a crazy sale so I jumped on it. Im thinking of making a double IPA with it. Anyone have any ideas? Perhaps a SMaSH recipe? 5 Gallon post boil.

So I made a somewhat clone of dogfish heads Indian brown ale. Ended up at 8.5% alcohol and I bottled with 4.7 oz of dextrose. Well two weeks later, I have zero carbonation. Is this because my yeast are exhausted from the primary fermentation? Just trying to figure out what went wrong. I mean...

Hey everyone. I'm getting ready to start my next brew and i wanna do something different from what I've been brewing (brown ales, porters,stouts). I wanna brew something like Le Freak from green flash, but I have no idea where to start on a recipe. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Whats going on everyone. I just started brewing a month ago and I finally was able to try my first beer the other day. I purchased a Deluxe starter kit from Northern Brewer with a Brown ale extract kit. After priming with brown sugar and waiting three weeks, the beer came out pretty damn good. I...
