    HLT and MLT jackets from moving blankets

    Got busy and put together some washable, removable insulation for the HLT and MLT of my 3 vessel eHERMS. MLT is 100% done, and has edging on the cut edges now. HLT is 90% done, but the hard part is over, just needs grommets and edging. Each one is 50" x 18" with cutouts for the fittings and...

    Table Beer

    I've got a crazy idea to try to brew a 2-2.5% beer with flavor and hashed together a plan for a light Belgian-style rye beer. I figure this is a good way to pack a lot of flavor and complexity in such a light beer, while retaining a very refreshing quality. Rye should give it a bit of body and...

    Double IPA Feedback

    I'm a few months out of a local competition entry for IPA's and DIPA's and was hoping for some feedback. I've got a significant quantity of the hops in the recipe, so I'm focusing on those. Belma was a bust on a previous brew, so I figure using it for a bittering addition is best. The others...

    New eHERMS MLT

    During my last brew day, my RIMS tube kicked the bucket and kept tripping the GFCI, so I had to make the decision: rebuild the RIMS tube or get around to building out the extra keg. I decided to go for broke and build out an eHERMS MLT. After about $400 is fittings, tubing, and heating...

    American Rye BJCP Category 6D

    I'm looking to brew an American Rye for category 6D. Looking at the BJCP guidelines, they say that 50% or more of the grain bill can come from wheat, then goes to say that for a rye beer some or all of the wheat can be substituted... So my question is: how much rye for a simple American Rye...
