Hey Guys, Last Sunday (Dec. 17) I kegged my first AG stout. Then on Friday (Dec 22) I put that Stout on beergas and hooked it up to a Guiness style stout tap. My problem is that even today (Dec 27) I still have none of the nitrogen type effect on the beer. What i mean is that its still flat and...

Anybody got some good sources. I have software but am wondering how all of this is calculated. I've seen some forumlas but nothing very in depth. So, anybody got any? Just curious how you guys designed your personal spreadsheet based recipe calculators Thanks! Ian

So, I haven't brewed since mid September and was planning to brew this Sat (a Brown ale - first AG brown). But, my wife took some of my etched glasses by a friend's Kitchen Supply store this morning to see if she might want to carry them as merchandise (for those who don't know, I etch glassware...

So, I'm reading this book on Belgian Ales and the author mentions that a brewer could take the yeast sediment from the bottom of a bottle conditioned beer and create a starter to "borrow" a specific breweries yeast if they desired. Now, I'm sure that this can be done - assuming the beer is...

I was going to post this one in the "weird @$$ ideas" forum but I can't find it . . . So, I've got this kegerator project that I'm working on (I'll post pics later) and it got me thinking. If I've got a hole cut in the top of my chest freezer anyway, why not run a hose coming out of it to a...

If I didn't have two already on the way I'd probably be buying these. Mine are from a different supplier but this is a good deal http://cgi.ebay.com/3-gallon-cornelius-soda-kegs-homebrew-beer-keg-QTY-2_W0QQitemZ290033305935QQihZ019QQcategoryZ38172QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I'm just curious if anyone feels strongly one way or the other. I'm just about sick of stirring my immersion cliller for 20 minutes after boil and am looking into one of the other two options. It seems that I can get either for around $70-$80 bought. I know I could make the counterflow easy...

Hey guys, I found an old thread that gives some good info on this. Here it is: http://homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=4205&highlight=toasting+color But, it doesn't give the L ratings for the roast/toast times. Does anyone have any of that?

Hey Guys, Haven't posted in a while. Me and a couple of brew buddies are planning a "Novemberfest" and I was thinking of doing a Raspberry Wheat. Does anyone have a good All-grain Raspberry wheat recipe? Thanks, Ian

I'm planning on brewing one this weekend for my wife's birthday. Anyone got a good All-Grain Hefe recipe??

So, I've got this saved 3rd generation White Labs California Ale Yeast in my fridge. This is just saved trub that I put into sterilized mason jars. I was planning on using it this weekend. I'm worried that its been in there too long, I guess the only way to find out is to make a starter and...

I've got some White Labs British Ale Yeast that I've saved from a batch from late January (January 26th to be exact) and I wonder if you all think it would still be any good? After racking the batch to secondary I left a bit in the carboy, swirled to get the trub in suspension then put it into...

Hey Everyone, I'm interested if anyone has/knows of a historical recipe from South Carolina. Actually, it doesn't even have to be from South Carolina, I'd be cool with anything from the Southeast US. I'm kind of a history buff and just began looking for a "South Carolina" beer recipe and...

I've been reading quite a lot about using electricity on various aspects of homebrewing and am quite interested. I've read on this board and a couple of others as well as quite a few sites found through general Google searches. I was wondering how many of you use electricity for some part of...

How do you start a freakin' poll????? :o :o

OK Guys, Here is my first real attempt at a label. I plan to use this as the general layout for my labels in the future. This is mostly hand drawn and scanned, then vectorized. The rest is hand drawn in Illustrator. Let me know what you think! Ian

This looks like a REALLY good deal instead of paying $50 for one. http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-JOHNSON-CONTROLS-TEMPERATURE-CONTROL-A70GA-1C_W0QQitemZ7588429305QQcategoryZ50926QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem it retails for like $120

for my first batch we used ice to chill the wort, two bags of it really. I felt that we cooled to quickly and have since used an immersion chiller on every batch. I'm also not completely confident in store bought bags of ice being as clean as I'd like. But, a buddy of mine recently used some...

I'm going with a plain jane Pale-Ale and my setup pretty much copies this. Wish me luck! I'm pretty excited.

Hey Guys, I've had my very black stout in secondary since last Wed and it has been completely still since I racked (no airlock activity, smooth clear surface on the beer). But just now I notice several little white circles of tiny tiny bubbles on the surface. I fear that I've got a mold or...
