Had a big brewing FAIL last night while moving my mash cooler with my buddy - One of the handles busted (as seen here) and splat it all ended up on the garage floor. I almost called it a night there, but with much grit I re-milled 16 more lbs of grain and started it all over again! Everything...

I have read many articles of folks taking old broken fridges and using them as frozen bottle cooled fermentation chambers. What I have not seen is anyone putting one of these fridges on its side, which would give you a lot more real estate to fill with fermenting wort! I measured and I found...

So... Playing with this idea. I have: A Scuba tank A Paintball Air Tank (same fitting as CO2) A Scuba tank to paintball fill adapter The paintball tank comes with a high pressure regulator (2,700 PSI to 800 PSI). Then hook that up to the standard CO2 to regulator gas/CO2 adapter...

I am looking to see if there are any folks in the Elgin area that might be interested in starting a Homebrew Club. I'd love to coordinate a few brewing sessions and swap a few brews and recipes with peepz in the area. I am fairly skilled at technical projects and would love to help my...

Ordered all crushed grains. Will have to get the ol' corona mill out for this batch. I wanted to post this as a heads up for no one to order from Midwest if you don't have a mill as a backup. I wouldn't have ordered from them, but they were the only ones with Citra in stock!

Hello All! A bit of a noob here, but trying to learn my way. Did a quick search and couldn't find anyone that had this problem with a flask. So I pitched my Wyeast into a yeast starter made from Malta Goya (a bit less than 2L). I plan on pitching this into a high gravity beer I'm brewing...

So I brewed this kit a few weeks back: http://www.midwestsupplies.com/media/downloads/63/Octane%20IPA%20Instructions.pdf I was going to move to keg but I took a gravity check and it was at 1030 and it was at the same level a week ago and the beer is still sweet. Since the target gravity is...

Hello all... I'm poppin the cherry and asking about/suggesting my first idea. I have a Upright Freezer with coolant lines in the shelves. I'd like to bend them in order to make room for my kegs. Has anyone tried a hair dryer to warm up the lines and get them nice and hot for bending? Any...
