So I have recently brewed 6 growler sized batches and am going to bottle them soon. I would like a smaller bottling bucket as the width of min (5 gal ale pale, with spigot about and inch up from bottom) I feel like there will be a lot of tipping the bucket and getting the sludge at the bottom...

I currently live in Colorado but grew up in Toledo area and come back every year on the 4th of July to get together with the family on Middle Bass Island (the island next to Put-in-Bay) Since there is no beer store on the island I have to bring a weeks worth of beer with me when I go and...

So when I came into work this morning there was a BREWFERM Framboos can/kit on my desk with no note as to who it came from? I sent an email out at work so I can thank the person and give them a 6 pack of the stuff when its done. To the point, the sticker on the bottom says 31/9/07 which I am...

I recently put together a chest freezer (5 cubic feet) with an STC-1000 and I currently do not have a heater in this thing, however its in my Denver, CO basement and aside from the freezer compressor turning on, there shouldnt be any outside forces making it too cold this time of year...

So whenever I brew beer, everytime without fail, I get these little flakes that seem to be LME. I assume they are LME as they dont showup until after the LME is added, which I do all at once just before boil. I took a picture of them and they look like this. They go away, or at least...

So I am thinking of entering a home brew competition to get some feed back and was wondering what kind of info the score sheets have on them? If anyone has any old score sheets laying around I would love to see how detailed the feedback is...

So I recently got a chest freezer I am turning it into a temperature regulated fermenter, with the help of an STC-1000. Originally, I wanted to do a side by side beer, 2.5 gallons in the freezer, and 2.5 gallons just in the basement, to see what the difference in taste was. Then I decided from...

I have decided to try and more actively control my fermentation temps and think the method that will work for my basement space/wallet will be getting the big rope tote buckets and using a fish tank heater and frozen bottles of water. Seems fine, however I really want my cooling to be more...

So this weekend I was brewing outside with my turkey fryer, and ran out of gas half way through the boil. You would think this would be a disaster, well it turned out the be the best thing that has ever happened to my brewing carrer. Why you ask? Because SWMBO doesnt let me brew in the...

I have brewed 5 different batches of beer from box kits, all from the same company, which happened to be my local brew store. I also bought the LME (it came seperatly from the box kit) from them which I believe they make on site? The different beers were: Double Bock DunkelWeiss Steam...

I really want 8oz bottles, seems like everyone else does as well, and the best answers I have found are Coronita's, and if they still make them the Rolling Rock ponies... I am not sure where those bottles are originally made before they are sold to Corona and Rolling Rock, but lets just say...

Aside from looking cool, and being much easier to cap, do the Grolsh bottles really do anything for you. I've never drank out of one, but does the topper hit you in the nose? Guess that really wouldnt be too big of a problem since I pour my brews into a glass to remove most of the sediment at...
