Hey everyone! I'm getting out of the brewing do I'm selling all my equipment. Everything you could need to go all grain. -15.5 gallon keggle. (Shined nice n purdy!)with false bottom. -(2) 6 gallon carboys with etched gallon markers -bottle drying rack -(2) 3 gallon carboys for small batch or...

It's a basic pale ale. All grain. Sg 1.050. Fg 1.012. Everything went off without a hitch. Racked to secondary. Beer looked, smelled, and tasted great. Came back a week later and this is what I had. Decided to go ahead and bottle. As I siphoned it out the film stayed almost sheet like and...

Thanks for all the great tips! She did beautifully on her first pale ale!

Just want to tip my hat to all of you who have helped out with any question I could think of. Every time i get stuck or fear I have ruined a batch all I have to do is look on the forums and I'm right back on track. I don't have to post much you guys are so helpful so as way of contribution I say...

Hey everybody! I'm making my first keggle and I'm excited as hell! So of course I'm reading everything I can before I start throwing sparks. My question is concerning the dip tube. Most builds I see have the copper tube coming straight in then angling straight down to the center if the keg...

Hey all. I'm going all grain and am in the process of getting my gear together. I'm want to build a counterflow chiller and have a pump inline to move the wort. But all my knowledge of water pumps could fit into a thimble and have room left over for a fat thumb! I don't want to spend a lot but I...

I'm not sure if this is even a real problem because it eventually disappears. But every stout or porter I've done has a distinct "soy sauce" character. This is as long as a month or two of bottle conditioning. If I leave it it eventually is gone but I'm curious because I don't get this with any...

First time I got lazy in a couple steps and now I'm worried. My lhbs as a partial mash kit I love. It's a chocolate coffee stout. Og was right on target. 1.072. I forgot to do a starter and didn't have time to wait as my brew window was closing fast so I just bought an extra vial of yeast and...

Hey everybody. I need some help with recipe selection. I brew (and drink) almost exclusively porters and stouts. I have been asked to brew up some goodies for a wedding reception. And since I am not "lager capable" at the moment, I am not sure what would be a good selection for general...

I want to experiment with a couple flavors using the same beer as a base. And i thought id split it in the interest of time and money saved. Would it have any negative effects to split one batch into two 5 gallon secondarys? Or do I need to do 2 full batches. Or maybe smaller fermenting vessels...

Hey all. I have done a couple of extract beers and would like to try my hand at all grain. I was wondering if anyone local would be willing to let me sit in and watch or point me in the right direction. I've tried reading up but I'm a hands on learner. "hands up" I'm not looking to steal...

Hey all! Like most I joined because every question I googled led me here. I'm just starting out. I'm about to bottle my first batch (cream ale) and am putting a whiskey barrel stout on the burner Saturday! I'm doing kits now but want to do all grain. I can't wait to start playing with...

Hello all! I'm a new brewer who also received a kit for Xmas. With that I went and picked out a couple of extract kits. I started with an American cream which seems to be coming along very nicely and I hope to bottle next week! My question is about my next brew. A whiskey barrel stout. The kit...
