    Historical IPA

    Question, the original IPA was served out of a barrel in India, correct? I'm a History major from way back when and I'm the 1900s and even today refrigeration is not all that common in India. Except in the case of the high altitude areas, India is subtropical and most likely "cellar"...

    Brewer's Best cider?

    I made 2 batches of this and a bunch of fruit win and both times got a sulfur-like smell from the airlock. On the first batch the cider retained a little of that smell/taste after bottling but over time it went away. For the second batch i let sit a an extra week in the fermenter than the...

    Hop Options for the Adventurous Brewer

    Good Read! I would have to say one of the "offbeat" I love for late additions/dry hopping is El Dorado, it has almost a starburst taste. It's pretty ridiculous how many new varieties come out each year, though . That being said, on my "to try" for the first time is list are Belma, Calypso, and...

    Benefits and Disadvantages of Single Vessel Brewing Systems

    Thanks for the article! I have 2 little ones at home as well, which has vastly reduced my outdoor brewing, so I switched to doing 2 to 3 gallon BIAB on my stove and placing my kettle in a coolbrewing bag during mash losing max 2degrees F temp-wise and I'm getting 75% efficiency. I've read and...

    Brewing on the Edge of the World: Canada's Arctic - Part I

    Wow, really fascinating article with a lot of different aspects to take in and digest. I certainly take for granted the convenience of being able to get brewing supplies (and I'm an expat in Brazil!). Cheers to you for overcoming the many challenges way up north.

    Problem with ball lock non removable poppet

    Quick update, Contacted customer service at Northern Brewer and they ended up sending me a new post for free. Here is the 2nd reply "On these posts, the poppet is not replaceable, ( not easily, at least ) but the whole post should be able to be removed and replaced. I would just send poppets if...

    beer quantities.

    Tyler, Scaling is very easy more or less 1/5th of everything (yeast varies). You can buy the grains separately rather than as a kit. That being said, there are some companies out there that have 1 gallon biab kits (midwest supplies being one of them and northern brewer has 3 gallon biab kit...

    +1 on the rye stout kit. Buddy did that as his first and I sampled and it came out great.
