    Planning... What Should I Brew? Lots of yeast, can't decide.

    I have TOO many options & can't get things to line up in my head right. My goal is to use a similar yeast a few times in a row, to save on amount of effort spent washing & saving yeast... then move to the next strain for a few batches... then so forth. I have separate sour & clean fermenters so...

    I want your OLD Perlick 425SS faucets!

    I bought a 525SS to fill in the empty spot for now... but I vastly prefer the old 425SS design, which became scarce around 2010-2011 - and would like to have all matching faucets. If you are looking to get rid of your working Perlick 425SS faucets, please shoot me a message, I will buy them...

    Bucket-based Cheap, Slim, Portable Homebrew Keg Dispenser - Instead of BM trash can

    Actually, THREE buckets. $2.40 each. I threw away the receipt (D'oh!) but the parts for the plastic bulkhead were ~$8.00. QD's, lines, etc. were simply stolen off of my beer fridge for the event, then replaced when I came home. I was lazy and didn't get around to taking photographs until now...

    Recipe advice: All-Tettnanger, German-"ish" hybrid beer

    Hi all. I'm planning to make 10 gallons of some pale beer using Tettnanger hops. I have a pound of them that I need to start using up, and figured a sort-of-SMaSH-like beer would be a good place to start. I know I want a good, but balanced, charge of Noble hop character... and I also know I...

    Playing with a hop bill... American IPA...

    Trying to figure out a hop bill for a standard American IPA... I do want it to scream hop flavor & aroma, but I also want to keep it balanced for a Single IPA, not to cross over into DIPA and 3IPAs. I have a notoriously bad track record at brewing IPAs, I've only brewed two drinkable batches...

    Fermentation cabinet - Cutting a hole in steel?

    So, I bought a giant steel cabinet. Like, the office supply type. It is around 24"d x 46"w x 78". I plan to use the bottom for two (14gal drum) fermenters (or 3-4 Ale Pails) and I plan to have a shelf half-way up the cabinet. The top half will be used to store corny kegs (both containing...

    The Broken Robot eBrewery, oh me, oh my.

    Folks, it's time for me to climb on the Electric horse. I hate brewing outdoors using propane in a state that Has Real Seasons and with no garage to seek shelter in. I'm going to need a bit of help as we go, for I have a deep fear of electrics, and will be battling some demons while I try to...

    Choosing a wort pump... Error check my logic?

    It's been a *really* long time since I've gone through the whole research-and-upgrade process, thanks to my couple years' hiatus from brewing. But, I've reached the point where I need to start pushing wort around, gravity just isn't cutting it anymore. So, I know I want to add an electric pump...

    First time with WY1010... recipe ideas? commercial examples?

    Hey all, I have a smack pack of WY 1010 American Wheat in my fridge that I should use up before it passes its' prime... First - I've never used this before - any good examples of what fermentation characteristics I can expect from it? I've seen a couple references to Bell Oberon clones as...

    BCS Declares Germany winner of WWII ... also, time to rename "Bull Crap Series"?

    A friend sent this to me, and I laughed my rear end off! So with that.... and with the recent Texas/Oklahoma drama, and the inconsistency between the individual conferences...... WHAT THE HELL do we do next? Playoff? Keep the BCS? Blame Weis? (LOL, just kidding, why would he be...

    The Price Experiment

    There's been a lot of talk lately of kits and contents and prices and fairness and a whole host of other catchy buzzwords thrown in. So I got a wild hare up my bum to price out some recipes from all the major OHBSes, and post 'em here. A couple notes on my intent: I'm focusing on the people...

    Motorizing a MaltMill - Guidance needed

    Yo. As discussed over here, I use a JSP MaltMill model P (Pre-set).... This means that I have a non-adjustable .045 gap, and as a result, am getting a fairly minimal/conservative crush, and my efficiencies are stagnating in the low-to-mid 60%'s. I ain't buying a drill. My 18V Coleman cordless...
