    Indiana Selling my brewing equipment

    EDIT: Prices reduced Well, I've seen many posts like this, and now it's my turn. Starting a family, moving to an apartment, finishing my PhD, and joining the Air Force means I can no longer justify hanging onto this stuff. I can meet at a reasonable distance, but I'd rather not ship items. Not...

    Frost/water in my kegerator

    About 2 years ago, I got a free, working mini fridge that was heading for the trash. I bent the evaporator down, cut a hole in the top, and screwed on a two-tap tower. It's been a nice little kegerator that just barely fits two cornys ever since. I used a brewing thermometer and the stock temp...

    Best way to clean scorched wort

    I rushed my brew today and turned on the gas before my extract was fully dissolved. I normally don't use LME, but I figured I could turn on just one burner to medium-low while I added LME to the other side of the kettle and stirred (my kettle sits over two burners on a gas stove).

I am anticipating a big step to get off the stove top and switch to AG pretty soon. I acquired a couple of kegs, cut the...

    Yeast stuck?

    My buddy gave me a double IPA homebrew kit which I made over the weekend. I followed the instructions, with just a couple exceptions. First, the kit called for steeping the specialty grains at a temperature "just below boiling", but I steeped at 155 degrees. It also called for a partial 1.5 gal...

    Infected???

    Went to bottle today and I was a little surprised to see this atop my brew. I'll admit, I am relatively new to homebrewing so this could be perfectly normal, but I'm hoping for some feedback. For reference, this is a "Slovenian Blonde" extract kit from LHBS. It came with 4 lb light DME, 0.4...
