    220v in the Garage

    Hey Guys, We have been in our new house for a year and I wished I had ran 220v to the garage during construction. I have a 15 gallon 3 vessel system and I'm interested in RIMS/HERMS, but would likely still use propane for boiling. The garage has 110v 20A GFCI in place and I could likely use that...

    What happened to austinhomebrew?

    I haven't brewed in a while... I moved... and all my stuff was scattered and after a few batches went bad I haven't brewed since January 2008. When I was brewing 5 gallons a week I always got my stuff from austinhomebrew. I live in MS and would usually get my stuff in two days with their...

    Brewing the Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA clone today

    No wonder these cost so much in the store. This beer is a lot of work. I'm an extract brewer, but I'll have close to 3 hours in brewing this alone. 45 minutes steeping, then 1 hour and 45 minutes of boiling the wort. Time is going by fast though because you add hops every 7.5 minutes. I can't...

    Another ebay score... 26.5lbs of DME

    I saw this on eBay last week. It started out low around 10-15$. Unfortunately people started bidding on it. I said my cutoff was 45$ considering I wasn't sure of the brand or much else. I entered 45 in the last 28 seconds... then said what heck I'll do 46... and won it in the last 2 seconds. I...

    Poppet failure. Big mess

    I kegged my best bitter last week and primed the keg with corn sugar. I was going to let it sit for a few weeks before putting it in the fridge. Well I woke up this morning to see the rug in my kitchen soaked. Probably 1/4 of it was covered in what I realized was beer. I looked at the beverage...

    10 Hop Imperial IPA

    So I got a little creative Saturday... well lets just say crazy with the hops. I had 5 or 6 1 lb bags I had never opened and wanted to put them to use. I know... it has corn sugar in it, but I knew it needed a little more gravity with all these hops. So here's my question. All of the hops were...

    eBay keg score!

    I'm pumped. I've been finding it harder to find pin locks recently, but scored these two on eBay for 30.50 including shipping. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=ADME:B:WNA:US:112&item=260034131778&id=

    Just placed a huge order... time to brew again

    Well I had gone on somewhat of a hiatus from brewing the past few months. I had a change in jobs and probably some lazines conributed. After a couple of weekends of buying 8$ six packs I realized it was time to place an order. I'm already sitting on around 14 varieties of hops from...

    Bulk DME

    Hi all.. I haven't posted in a while, but I'm trying to get an order together. I'm sure the question has been asked before, but I searched the forum and couldn't find anything on it. Normally I buy everything for my brewing needs from austinhomebrew.com , but I'm trying to cut down on costs on...

    Liberty Ale Clone

    Does anyone have this recipe? This is one of my favorite store bought brews. I searched the site, but had no luck. I didn't get very many hits or clues googling it as well. Austin Homebrew sells a clone kit, but its around $35.

    Sams Club nightmare

    I was at Sam's Club getting new tires for my 2000 Millenia L. We went shopping and came out and I was amazed that my tires were already off my car. I was like nice this might not take long. Then all sudden the car drops with no tires/rims from about 3 feet in the air onto the suspsension and...

    Homebrew and Friends

    Man my homebrew has been vanishing lately. I've gone through 10 gallons in 2 weeks and now I only have my "special reserve" sunshine wheat. I made some Light Ale and kegged it, but its not quite ready to drink and a little too light for me. SWMBO will like it at least. It seems people like...

    Grains

    Well I finally got my morebeer.com order after placing it 2 weeks ago today. I ordered 1lb of grains and noticed that they aren't milled. After looking at their website I noticed its not an option. Man I'm spoiled by Austin Homebrew I guess, b/c it is an option with them. So what can I do...

    So I ordered 3lbs of hops from hopsdirect.com One pound of each: Whole Cascade Whole East Kent Golding Pellets Hersbrucker(all they had at the time) I got my scale out to measure, b/c I couldn't believe the size of the box they came... and not to mention the weight seemed over...

    My first try at kegging

    So I transferred my Canadian ale to the keg yesterday... I don't yet have a CO2 tank and regulator so I just used portable CO2 injector to seal it up. Similar to this: I just added corn sugar, but wanted to know if the CO2 injector will add any carbination. When I first sealed it, it blew...

    MoreBeer is so slow

    So here's the deal. I placed 3 orders Monday night... Austin Homebrew, MoreBeer and HopsDirect. I have yet to here anything tracking wise from hopsdirect, but I'm not concerned since it was only 25$ or so worth Austin Homebrew has my package here tomorrow, and tracking shows it is already...

    My canadian ale mishap

    So I had a friend over to watch me make brew this past Saturday. We started sampling pretty heavy and by the time I knew it I was way too tipsy. I'm afraid I took my brew off when my timer went off at 45 mins. Normally I add my hops and yeast fuel for the last 15 mins, but it must have...
