    Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer Ginger Ale

    No, I decided to leave it as is and not mess with the recipe too much on my first attempt. I really like it but after being on tap for a bit it seems to have lost a bit of that spice. Next time I'll dry hop some ginger in either secondary or even in the keg to keep that flavor more prominent.

    Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer Ginger Ale

    I finally had an open tap and am enjoying this on a regular basis. This brew is absolutely Delicious and is by far my favorite one I've ever brewed. I've never had something with this profile before and I love it. Although it is a massive pain in the ass to brew and clean up I will be doing it...

    Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer Ginger Ale

    I just tried this one after a few days in primary. I did use the full 40 oz during the boil and so far I have a pale ale with a very strong ginger flavor/heat. I'm debating if I want to add any more or not, thinking about using a little candied ginger to bring up the sweetness and ginger...

    Don't Do That.

    Forget to check the connections on your wort chiller and turn 5.5 gallons into close to 9, then when boiling some dme to bring your OG back up use too small of a pot and turn your back giving your stove a syrup bath. Don't do that.

    beer sort-of for sale. Is this legal?

    Reminds me of the ol' college house party argument of "we're not selling beer, we're giving it away free with a $5 cover charge". Sometimes that still got a ticket othertimes not, depended on the officers.

    Video Games

    My favorite game since witcher 3, the more I play the more I'm hooked. Premise is Ygrette meets farcry 4 meets terminator animals. It's very intuitive and just the right level of challenging.

    Aquatic water treatments

    From my understanding it's used to neutralize anything undesirable in a salt or freshwater aquarium, and is used by many hobbyists for sensitive pets such as stingrays, discus, and corals. Never had any issues using it in my tanks. I just didn't know if anyone knew of any secondary additives...

    Aquatic water treatments

    The bottle doesn't specify what's in it and neither does their website, but everything I can find is that it's sodium thiosulfate based. I don't know if there is anything else added that is propitiatory though, and I haven't contacted seachem directly yet since I'm sure their response will be...

    Aquatic water treatments

    I have a kilo of SeaChem Safe, which I use to treat and dechlorinate the water used in my aquariums(fishkeeping is another of my hobbies). Does anyone know if this can be used to treat the water I use for brewing as well to eliminate chlorine and chloramine or could there be unforeseen...

    DIY wort chiller

    Looks good. A brake line tubing bender from any automotive store will help you get that "L" bend without it kinking that much, they can usually be found for $5-10.

    How to take care of your kettle

    Is there any truth to bar keepers friend eventually wearing away at etchings? If so then can you use BKF on the rest of the kettle and just be careful around those areas?

    Spike brewing or SS Brewtech kettle

    I just received my spike 15g kettle. Haven't had a chance to try it out yet but I think I'm going to go for my first BIAB as a way to break it in. I did a test boil of a few gallons though and it seemed to retain the heat extremely well, to the point that the next day it was still...
