I am on the fence about building a RIMS tube and wondering what the noticeable benefits are? I brew all grain and have always had problems with efficiency. I use a 10 gal cooler with false bottom.and spathe from a 5 gal cooler with copper spathe arm. I was thinking of a pump and RIMS tube...

Has anyone ever used falconers flight as a buttering hop. I wanted to do my ESB with it with additions as first wort, 1oz, then half at 20, 10 and 0 min. Any thoughts on this hop as a buttering addition would be awesome. Esb is 14#maris, 1/2#Crystal 20 and 1/4#crystal 120. Sorry for bad post...

I did the Traditional Bock from brewing classic styles about two weeks ago. I fermented at 50 degrees for two weeks using wyeast 2206. I did do a starter on a stir plate, 1.75l step to 2l but did have the starter blow off about .25L. Pitched the yeast left from the 1.75L left after the spill...

I did the ESB from BCS with a SG of 1.056 and FG of 1.014. My it is still young an only off the fermenter and in the keg for a week but it literally tastes as the tun smelled after I sparged? Is that flavor one that falls out with conditioning or is that the flavor I am stuck with on this beer?

I have read several posts and articles on-line and still am only getting part of an answer to my question. I have an American Amber Ale that I pitched on 4/2 and it is still bubbling at four bubbles a minute ( I know that bubbles do not give an accurate measurement to fermentation.) I...

The I pitched my yeast last night and found the bubbler came off over night. There is no sign of the yeast working and the bung will not stay seated in the he it keeps pushing itself out. What can I do to fix this.

I am planning on going after my first all grain attempt. I decided to do a FeankenWheat and wanted to get a bit of professional guidance before I start my brew. I read a few different grain profile and recipes before attempting to design my own beer. I know it isn't anything outrageous I just...

Just popping in to introduce myself I am a new brewer from West Sac. Currently I have a Belgian Blond bubbling away in my primary and it seemed every time I had a question your forum and members had a well written and informative answer. I hope to learn from the group and hone my skill at...
