So I'm planning to do my very first AG beer here in the next couple weeks and I was thinking about Edworts Bee Cave Brewery Haus Pale Ale. I thought this would be a great beer to get my feet wet in AG with. It seems like a fairly easy and to the point recipe, but does anyone have any...

Anyone ever try one of these on the outlet of a CFC? If so I'd be interested to hear what the results were like, or if anyone has any recommendations for an alternative that would work.

Over the last few days I have started drinking my finished barley wine. At first the flavor was like wonderful slap on the taste buds from the beer gods, it was love at first taste. But after drinking it for a few days the flavor doesn't seem as intense. I'm worried that I'm getting used to all...

I just want to say that I love craigslist . . . . let me rephrase that I have a love hate relationship with it. Despite all the flakes and overpriced garbage on there, every once in a while a good score comes along that makes all that hassle worth it. Today I got a case of BROWN (except for one...

Ok so I got my mash tun built and the manifold pieced together and I'm ready to make some holes in it for the wort to flow through. I'm wondering if it's a bad idea to use a small drill bit to make round holes or if the slits are better. I've seen most people using the slits and it makes sense...

So I am about a week into my batch of cider and I just took a gravity reading and it's at about 1.001. I gave the sample a taste and it's pretty dry as I expected. I'm planning to prime it and make it sparkling when I bottle (which is a ways off) but my question is: if I want to sweeten it can I...

I'm looking to do my first kegerator conversion and I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations on fridge models to look for? It has to be a mini fridge because I live in an apt. and I want something that will hold at least 2 corny kegs, maybe even a standard half barrel. I've seen some...
