I brewed a 10 gallon batch of Edwort's Haus Pale ale today. Used my new pasta mill to crush(worked great). Used the brew in a bag method with direct fire to my mash. Had just added a weldless thermometer and sight glass to my keggle. Everything went really smooth. I like the biab method. Only...

I milled my grain today for a 10 gallon batch of Ed's pale ale that I'm brewing on sunday. I bought a bunch of different grains the other day but I forgot to get vienna malt. I milled munich in it's place for the recipe. How will this affect the flavor profile of the beer?

I found an old thread that talked about using solder that was like 95% silver for use on a keggle. I want to solder a copper dip tube and immersion chiller. The solder I have is Oatley safe flo silver lead free. Hazardous ingredients listed are bismuth, copper, silver, tin. Is this safe to use...

I just f-up bigtime. Doing my first 10 gallon batch. My damn bucket that I was collecting first runnings in fell over, lost about 3 gallons. Can somebody tell how much dme to add to get my numbers right. I guess I need to know how much dme for each point of sg. Thanks!

How much boil off are you guys getting on a 60 minute full boil. I just kegged a amber ale last night that came up about a half gallon shy. I marked all my carboys today so I could be sure that I'm getting the right volume in the carboy from now on. This batch was at 7 gallons pre-boil. Does 2...

Just put my first batch of apfelwein in the keg for aging, took a little taste when I did my gravity reading. It taste awesome! Wish I had taken everyone's advice and started a second batch right away, but I will get one started in the next couple of days. SWMBO is going to love this stuff!

I know the answer is probably somewhere in apfelwein thread, but I'm kegging tommorrow and do I age at room temperature or in the fridge? Thanks!

I want to do an american pale ale. I just bought some Kona Firerock pale ale and liked the flavor but would like to back off on the hops a little. Does anyone know the approximate ibus of kona pale ale? I checked their site but there was no info on malts or hops. Thanks!

I've got Denny Conn's vanilla bourbon porter in the fermenter now. I'm trying to decide if I'm gonna use bourbon or not. What kind of flavor does this add? And how much to use in a 6gallon batch?

I just got my first corny keg. Filled it with a blonde ale, primed with 8 tablespoons of dme, hit it with co2 to seal the lid, place it in a closet @ 68F for three weeks and put it in the fridge. Beer is completely flat. The keg had a good seal. Any ideas ? I have some bigger beers that I want...

Hi everyone, haven't brewed in about a year. In the past two months though it has again become an obsession. I thought I should re-introduce myself since I've been gone a while. I live in the west end of Richmond Va. Just joined the local homebrew club. I just set up a brew space in my shop...

A good friend of mine requested a high alcohol batch as a Christmas gift. He usually doesn't drink the most flavorful beers, in fact the most he's strayed from Bud is Yuengling. Any ideas on something with some kick that he'll still enjoy the taste of? I need an extract recipe . Thanks

I'm boiling my Magic Hat#9 clone. I dumped my priming DME in by mistake. Guess I'll have a little higher alcohol content than I planned.

I'm thinking about trying the Magic Hat #9 clone from the book "Clone Brews". Has anyone tried this recipe? If you have, are there any adjustments you would make? I love Magic Hat and want to come as close as possible to the real thing. Thanks, Mike

I hate bottling and do not have room for a fridge with cornelius kegs. Anyone tried the party pig?

Hello everyone! I'm just getting back into brewing after about a 10 year break( when my daughter was born, my brew space became her nursery). I've done a couple of batches lately but I'm a bit rusty. Looking foward to being part of the forum.
