Hi - I'm an experienced all-grain beer brewer, but my wife wants cider and sourced applies before I sourced knowledge :) So I have lots of brewing equipment but not a lot of cider knowledge. So the apple cart is before the horse, if you'll pardon the pun. I'm hoping a kind soul will answer...

I've implemented Sean Terrill's refractometer calculator (http://seanterrill.com/2012/01/06/refractometer-calculator/) in my programmable TI calculator. I can make this available to anyone else if they'd like it. I'll post screen shots soon. I'm going to add a few other calculations to the menu...

For reference for others, I did some measurements of the three different kinds of "2.5 gallon" kegs I have here. I thought somebody somewhere might find this useful. Note that some true specifications are somewhat different than advertised. I measured volume by taking empty and full weights...

I've done 28 all-grain batches, but have only used Nottingham a few times. My last brew was Bee Cave pale ale scaled to 2.5 gallons. I used a full pack of Nottingham. I hydrated the pack for quite some time before pitching. I dropped it on my stir plate after initial hydration, mostly...

I just saw a flyer for this at a LHBS. It's in Vancouver. Http://Www.PNWHC.com

Pabst inks deal to have Rainier brewed in Woodinville’s Redhook brewery I'm not sure if this is cool or if it sucks. I happen to work in that building (for a wine company that leases space from Red Hook - I'm not a Red Hook employee)

I am thinking of replacing my 5G kettle with something a little larger. I currently do usually 2.5g biab indoors in my kitchen. I am toying with the idea of integrating an immersion chiller into my build. I know a few of you have done it. My plan would be to use probably 25 ft. of 3/8...

Hi all - I just received a new Morebeer Torpedo keg. I ordered the 2.5G size. I don't know enough about kegging to compare it much to other kegs, but I think I'm pleased so far. I'll probably fiddle with it this weekend (carbonate some water or something). If anyone has any questions on this...

Saw this at work today (I don't work at this brewery, but I rent office space from them):

I was on Best Malz's site, and saw this: http://www.bestmalz.de/en/malt/certificates.htm "BESTMALZ is certified in accordance to EU organic farming Regulation. " Does that mean all of their malts are organic?

I'm visiting Portland this weekend and took advantage of this deal : http://www.travelportland.com/article/deal-wheel/ The ceramic mini growler is pretty darn cool. It holds 32 ounces. I hope someone else can take advantage of the deal. You have to download the chinook book app then enter...

Tonight I bottled an amber ale recipe I've done before. I cooked it up on 8/29. I normally do 1 gallon batches but I like the last batch enough that I scaled up to a whopping 1.5 gallons. The other change is I dry hopped for the first time and used a thrift shop mr. beer LBK that I cleaned with...

Who do we like for grain by the bag in WA? I love my LHBS but they're out of organic 2 row by the bag (and its $70 when they have it) I've seen some great prices out of Oregon - prices are great even after shipping, but I'd like to work a little more local if possible. I'm mostly interested in...

I'm going to feel stupid if this has been covered elsewhere, but I didn't see it in a search. Over in the thread on building your own wooden beer crate, there's instructions on using an iron to transfer an image from a laser-printed document onto a piece of wood. I thought I'd try it with...

Today I wandered into a thrift store and found: Charlie P's book (Complete Joy of Homebrewing I think it was) for $1.99 A Mr. Beer LBK and about 10 new PET bottles for $4.99 A Mack and Jack's pint glass for $0.99 - this is great since I have a clone of their African Amber in a fermenter...

Hi all - I've been watching this forum a long time and thought I'd finally introduce myself. I live in Woodinville, WA, which is a tiny town northeast of Seattle and is a haven for wineries (there's got to be 100 here), at least one big commercial brewery, and I think we're up to 3...
