    Yeast not being yeast like

    I brewed this up on Sunday: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=496504 I did 10 gallons, so I just doubled everything, including the starter size. Typically I do 2L starter for every 5 gallons or wort, so this was a little short on my normal procedure. I made a 2L starter in...

    Who knows about King Kooker Brew Stand?

    I see a couple years ago there was a little chatter about these things: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00264G584/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 Anyone have anything to report about them? Goods? Bads? The price is obviously hard to beat. As long as it doesn't collapse mid boil, it seems like...

    New stir plate seems a little slow?

    This is my first stir plate, and I've never seen one in action, so maybe this is normal. The video is the stir plate on full speed. Just seems like it should be creating more of a vortex at max speed? It took me a long time to get it to spin, as well. Like the magnet in the stir plate wasn't...

    First batch ever, all grain, jumping in the deep end

    Well, mission complete. I finally got all my stuff together, and attempted by first batch of beer today. Of course, I went all out, going all grain the first time. Why not, right? I tried a Racer 5 Clone recipe out of BYO magazine. I wanted something I knew I could find easily locally, so I...

    best (smartest) way to remove the top of a keg

    Hello all, first post. Bare with me. A friend of mine gave me 2 kegs to use for my home brewing set up. They both feel about 1/2 full of beer, and I assume there is still pressure inside them. I want to remove the tops of both of them to use as a mash tun and a boiler. What is the best...
