I am going to Memphis for the weekend and I wanted to find local craft beer stores. My google search pulled up Joe's and Buster's but sort of fell off after that. I was hoping to get some advice on where to go other than the two previously mentioned? Thanks!

I brewed for the first time in several months and the lack of routine showed since I forgot to take the therminator out of the bucket of starsan. It was in there for over 24 hours. Do you think I damaged the therminator? Thanks in advance!

I am using a 10 tip burner for a Brutus and I need to find a pilot light that fits. The pilot lights for the 23 tip don't fit the 10 and I have been looking all over for the right type. The orafice for the pilot light is 1/4" pipe. Does anyone know of a good place to look for this type of...

I will be traveling to Matawan, NJ but staying in the New Brunswick area this coming weekend. I am looking for a bottle shop to go to that has a good selection and sells in singles. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks :mug:

I am not a wine maker but my FIL is and he had an issue with a batch that he has never had before. I told him that I would ask on this forum to see if i could get some information for him. He said after they bottled the wine and aged it for a few months, they poured a bottle and it had a lot...

I brewed a 1.040 Belgian Pale Ale so that I could use the yeast cake for a 8% Belgian Dubbel. I want to wash the yeast after the Belgian Dubbel, but I am concerned about the yeast not being viable for a washing after a higher gravity beer. Am I off base? Thanks:mug:

I am fairly certain that I am dealing with chlorine in my tap water due to a strong "band-aid" aroma and taste in a few previous batches. I have a batch of beer that is finished fermenting and I was wondering if I could add the tablets now to try to remove the off flavor?

I recently bought a keg through Craiglist and I was not able to inspect the kegs at the time of purchase. Well, I have a keg that has a .5 inch slit in the SS top of the keg right where the lid goes. It is not a big opening and I think some sort of compound will fill the hole. Does anyone...

I searched the site and did not find any answers to my problem. I planned on brewing today but my plans had to change and now I wont be able to brew until next Wednesday. Unfortunately I made a liquid yeast starter and I want to be able to use it next week. Should I just put it in the...

I started kegging after the second batch I made, so my bottling experience is slim. I have a bunch of bottles that I have been keeping from cases that I have bought and some of them now have mold at the bottom. If I soak them in a Oxyclean solution and they come out looking clean, am I...

I am doing my first brew on my Brutus and I am running into an issue with the March Pump. I am trying to recirc the wort in the BK, but I am not able to get the fluid to flow completely through the march pump to prime. Here is what I am doing: I open the valve on the March pump and then...

I have a Brutus 10 that I just used today for the first time and I ran into an issue with the BK burner. This burner was the only one I used because I am waiting on the other 2 pots to complete the project. I have a 23 tip jet burner and I seem to not be able to get a vigorous boil, which...

I am completely clueless when it comes to wood barrels, but I have an opportunity to get 2 wood barrels that were used to age wine. They have not been used for around 4 decades. Is it even worth it? I am guessing no. If it is worth it, what books or articles does anyone suggest to read to...

I put a beer on the CO2 a few days ago, but I am not satisfied with the amount of dry hopping I did in secondary. Has anyone added a sanitized hop bag after they have had the beer on tap for a few days? Other than releasing the gas and sanitizing the hop bag, is there anything I should be...

I have used the advanced search function to try to find an answer to my question and I have not been successful. So here is my issue: I use an aluminum turkey fryer pot as my hlt. Recently, I have noticed that there are these white chalky spots on my pot. I rub them away but they reappear...

My wife's car was hit by some object on the freeway and it caused a softball sized dent in the car door. The paint over the dent was also removed by the object and we are noticing very small spots of rust where the paint use to be. I am trying to get some advice on a cheap and easy way to...

Do 20 LB CO2 Tanks not open or close if they are empty? I have an empty one and I cannot turn the knob at all. I attached my regulator to it and there was nothing in it. Any suggestions or insight? Thanks

Recently I brewed 2 batches (ales) that became infected after full fermentation took place. A white layer would form over the beer and gave off a cidery aroma and the taste was bad to say the least. So I am fairly certain these were infected batches. I am very diligent in sanitation and...
