I've been reading through some of the "New Posts" tonight and for some reason some of the thread names have just struck me as funny: "Can you do this with yeast?" "What are second runnings?" but my fav is "Foaming Pilsner wort" I'm sorry but I just got a chuckle at the names. I'm...

Hey Everybody, I wanted to get you take on a purchase that I'm considering. I'm looking to convert a sankey keg to a MLT and found this conversion kit at More Beer. MoreBeer | Weldless Mash Keg Conversion - Stainless It seems that the false bottom only covers the concave portion of the...

So I wanted to find out what you guys have in terms of fermentation control, lagering, and storing equipment. Right now I have a chest freezer with a temp controller on it that will only hold one carboy. So if I decide to lager I've tied up my fermentation control for a while. What you do you...

I'm trying to help my Dad gain an appreciation for beer and want to point him in the direction of a good place to pick up good beer by the bottle in Amarillo, Tx. Does anyone have any good recommendations?

My next door neighbor wants me to try and brew a Bischoff clone. Does anyone have a recipe for it? Unfortunatly it's not available in Texas (at least I haven't found it and the local beer stores won't/can't order it), then again I might not have looked hard enough. **EDIT** Forgot to mention...

I’ve been brewing about a year now. I started out with extract brewing and was make some decent beer. On a batch that I brewed to be ready on the 4th of July (a Real Ale Fireman’s 4 Clone – Blond Ale) the beer had a bad soapy flavor. The beer also would not carbonate very well...

I'm have a beer that has been bulk aging in a secondary with oak for several weeks now. I've decided that I'm going to keg this beer and naturally carbonate it. My question is, do you think that I would need to repitch some yeast for carbonating the beer because it's been sitting for so long?

Ok here's the situation. I have a beer that has been in the kegerator for more than a month now, under about 15 to 18 psi, and it has little to no carbonation. I have put it under pressure and shaken it until it couldn't take any more and then left it under pressure in the kegerator. The beer is...

I've only been brewing for a short time now and I've been using kits for the most part. I've recently begun developing my own recipes and using recipes that I find. One thing I've been wondering about has been stocking ingredients. I'm brewing about twice a month and plan on keeping that pretty...

I just found out about this 5 minutes ago and wanted to get a post up about it. For those of you in the Austin, Tx area there is a new microbrew that has opened up and will be having there Grand Opening this weekend. I've included the link to their site below. My understanding is that they are...

Well, I've read and have been told countless times the importance of temperature control during the fermentation process. Several months back I got my hands on an old freezer and got a temperature controller, unfortunately our two year old twin girls require food on a periodic basis and the...

I'm about brew a Black Ale aged with wiskey soaked oak chips. I want the beer to have a lighter crisper mouth feel. Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions for how I would design my mash temps to achieve this?

I brewed my first all grain batch a few weeks ago. Let me begin with, I may misuses some terms as I have not quite got them all down…please correct me if I misstate something. I wanted to give the process a try and hadn’t really visited the forum in a while to figure out what to do. I just...

I'm looking for some homebrewers in the North Austin/Round Rock/Georgetown area that could help me diagnose some beer problems. Please drop me a line of the weekend if you would be will to taste some beer. This is a result of a few post I made earlier regarding kegging...

I realize that I could search for the answers on this but while I search I figured I'd post. While I have lost a good blonde ale, tasted oxidized, I do have a beer that is ready to go into the keg. I'm trying to get something for a party tonight, would it be worth kegging this beer? Would I be...

Hey Folks, I'm in a pinch. I have had my beer kegged about a week, force carbonating. I poured some yesterday and there is a lot of head on the beer but not really a lot of carbonation. I'm supposed to serve the beer tonight and I'm worried. Does anyone have any suggestion to get this beer...
