Quick question - has anybody here dry hopped with the Tap a Draft system? I was thinking of throwing some hop pellets into the bottles before capping 'em... is it possible, or will it gum up the tap system when i tap it? thanks

Is this why my corny is glowing? :cross: Bloomberg.com: Exclusive "There may be more than 1 million missing radioactive sources worldwide, the Vienna-based IAEA estimates. De Bruin said he sometimes finds such items hidden inside beer kegs and lead pipes to prevent detection."

I've been reading "BEER: Tapping into the Art and Science of Brewing" by Charles Bamforth (great read, by the way - lots of technical scientific stuff for us brew-nerds) He has this to say about washing and storing yeast (on page 151): "The yeast may also have picked up some contaminants...

very pleased with how this one turned out... not trying to brag, just celebrating a successful (and totally delicious) brew - made with the knowledge picked up right here from Homebrewtalk.com! It's a Belgian Triple, by the way. The lighting is terrible in the pics, so it looks a LOT darker...

After bottling a batch of Apfelwein at 1.004 (knowing it had at least 4 or 5 more points to drop), I suddenly realized that it would be nice to know whether fridge temps would stop montrachet yeast from fermenting. I placed a bottle in my fridge immediately after bottling, and let the rest...

two very popular thread topics - apfelwein and bottle bombs - all wrapped up in one thread! let's say somebody recently made some apfelwein with montrachet yeast... Ed's original recipe w/5 gallons apple juice, 2 pounds of corn sugar... and then let's say that on bottling night of a batch of...

This post has been edited to say... That it is a beautiful day here in FL today! oh, and Sam Adams uses quality hops. (that way it is still topical).

Started a new thread, because the old one kinda dropped off, and this is probably useful for a lot of us here on the forums... I e-mailed Wyeast asking about the High Gravity Trappist 3787 strain - here is the original e-mail: Greetings! There has been some discussion on the Homebrewtalk.com...

searched the forums, as this has probably been asked, but couldn't find anything - I am going to brew a dubbel this weekend... got some amber candi sugar (bought it half price from the brew store, otherwise i would have made it myself) Wyeast says that their 3787 yeast benefits from...

for the Christmas / New Year celebration, my first batch of homebrew was ready to drink. It was a tripel, extract w/specialty grains (and a pound each of honey and candi sugar thrown in for good measure - 9% abv) notice i use the word "WAS" - because the family and friends loved it so much...

My wife makes this sometimes, and it's one of my faves - of course, any dessert that you light on fire is good in my book! Thoughts on the liquid version - I'm a n00bie, so release the hounds! Dan's Bananas Foster Stout .5 lbs. Belgian Caravienne .5 lbs. Crystal Malt 60°L .5 lbs...

and I ask for help/advice once again... this new hobby certainly is a learning experience. bottled yesterday, added 3/4 cup of corn sugar to 2 cups of water, boiled and added to the beer, then realized that with this first batch, I've actually only got a little under 4 gallons of beer...

Because I had the brilliant idea of using my bottling bucket as a primary for another batch, I now need to bottle a batch directly from a glass carboy. I just need some of you wise brewers to go over my procedure to make sure this will work well... everything sanitized, of course... 1...
