    First time harvesting my Cascade!

    Hey everyone. I harvested my Cascades yesterday and now I'm already thinking of a recipe for them. I ended up with 5.2 ounces, so hopefully it will end up around 1.5 ounces when dry. I was thinking of doing a simple American Pale Ale. I'm not sure if they have as much lupulin as they...

    Building a mash tun soon, have some questions

    I just finished reading Palmer's Appendix D about building a mash tun and manifold, and I want to start building my mash tun. I mostly brew 2.5 gallon batches and I might one day do a 5 gallon batch, but I'm most comfortable with 2.5 gallons. I returned a walmart 5 gallon drinking cooler...

    Been thinking about growing hops, but not sure.

    Hey everyone, I've been wanting to grow hops for some time, but I'm trying to decide whether it would be worth it. I used to garden a few years ago and I really enjoyed it and got some good results. I live in South Florida, which I know is not ideal, but some people have been able to...

    Help me decide which keg to buy!

    Hey everyone! Well I've gone deeper into homebrewing and now it's time for kegging. I already have a CO2 cylinder, so I need a keg, regulator, bottle filler, and whatever other accessories necessary. I'm assuming it doesn't matter if the keg is full to be able to carbonate the beer, right...

    How to select a good mini fridge?

    I need help selecting a mini fridge. I just want it to be big enough to fit a 5 gallon bucket, if I ever need to ferment 5 gallons. I bought this model: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Igloo-3.2-cu.-ft.-Refrigerator-and-Freezer/15162469 But it turned out to be barely too small. I was...

    Coincidence or I just did it correctly?

    Ok so with my first batch bottle conditioning, I was hooked. I wanted to do it the "right" way and move into all grain. I determined that the best way for me to do that was with BIAB. I got everything I needed and searched for a recipe. I started using Beersmith and created my equipment profile...

    Should I harvest the yeast?

    Ok well I'm new to homebrewing and I've been doing as much reading and research as I can, but this question is pretty specific and I haven't been able to find the answer. I brewed the popular extract kit, Caribou Slobber by Northern Brewer, and I'm a few days away from bottling. The kit came...
