Long story short, I have a co2 tank and regulator that I used to use when I had a planted aquarium. I no longer have that aquarium and would like to use the co2 tank and regulator for kegging since I just bought a keg not too long ago. The only thing is, the co2 regulator has a solenoid valve on...

Hi all, for sale are two rhizomes that are going on to their 4th year this year. I have a Willamette and a Tettnanger. Last year they grew like crazy, shooting up more shoots than i can keep track of (although I snipped all but a few on each to support strong growth). Sadly, I don't have...

I visited the brewery down in DE, bought the shirt, tried it on at home....and unfortunately it doesn't fit so here I am selling it. I'm selling an XL "Ghetto Tee" seen here (https://www.dogfish.com/store/nakedness-prevention/tees/ghetto-tee.htm). It's the exact same green shirt as on the...

<---first time grower. I got two plants, one which has grown a good 20feet up the side of the house. It has shot out plenty of side vines for the past month+ or so. I'd go outside daily and look for cones, but never saw any. Finally, yesterday I go outside with my wife, we look up in the sky...

I noticed yesterday that the bine on one of my plants (1st year) "untrained" itself and was not crawling upward. In my effort to untangle and retrain it, I snapped the tip of it by mistake...about 3 inches. I've read that it's not good to snip the tops, so am I screwed? Will my plant recover...

I don't understand the fascination with brewing clones. I mean, if I wanted a beer that tasted like Pliny the Elder for example, I'd just go buy a 6er of it. In my opinion (and it's just an opinion so no flaming necessary), brewing a clone is like watching a cover band...they're both close to...

Day two of fermentation was more than I anticipated and the kraussen got up in the airlock (3piece) and overflowed on to the lid of my ale pail. I cleaned it up as quickly as possible, replaced the airlock with a new one (clean/sanitized), but was wondering am I at risk of contamination...

After sitting in secondary for three weeks, I put the carboy in a fridge for three days prior to bottling. On bottle day, I took the cold glass carboy (it was at about 45 degrees), transferred the brew to a bottling bucket which had the sugar mixture in it, and bottled as usual. My concern is...

I plan on making another batch of weissbier, but don't remember what specialty grains I steeped. Any suggestions which would boost head retention and mouthfeel? Thanks!

My pumpkin ale (got a late start on things) has been in 50 degree secondary for two weeks now. This is my first time conditioning at low temperatures so I was wondering if I have to do anything out of the ordinary when it comes to bottling this weekend. My main concern is: is the yeast in...

I brewed a Koelsch which has been in primary for 3 weeks and over the weekend transferred it to secondary. I then poured the cooled wort that I just brewed on the remaining yeast on the bottom of the primary bucket. However, there was a LITTLE bit of liquid from the previous batch still in the...

I used the bottling attachment that goes on the easy siphon tubing for the first time yesterday. Stupid me held the attachment in one hand, as I pumped the siphon to get things flowing. Not realizing (read, being a moron) that I was supposed to put the bottler inside a bottle as to begin the...

Shame on you for looking here!!! :cross:

When living in Germany, I always enjoyed a Franziskaner Kristallweizen, but unfortunately I can't seem to find it nearby here in the states. Anybody brew their own kristall (extract)? If so, I would love to hear what you use and how you make sure that it is, in fact, crystal clear. Thanks...

What are your thoughts about using Gypsum and/or Irish Moss? I made a batch this pass weekend and put a 1/2 teaspoon of each in the boil...the gypsum towards the beginning and the moss at about 30 minutes remaining. This was my first time brewing with these 2 ingredients. When I put my 3...

Being relatively new to the homebrew scene, I want to become familiar with a variety of different hops, but don't want to make 5 gallons worth of something I might not like. The idea (probably not original and tried before): Brew a 5 gallon batch of a base wheat beer, adding 6 or so...

To all of you who have brewed many batches over the years: do you notice any difference when bittering with different hops? Do the fruity/earthy/etc tones really come out in the beer after boiling hops for 60 minutes? If not mistaken, I recall reading that John Palmer uses the same hop...

Hi all, I've been reading the endless wisdom on these forums for a while now, but never posted...till now. I generally make hefes but decided I'd play around and go for an ale with a little kick to it. The OG of my 5gallon batch was 1.061. Not familiar with brewing anything more than 5%...
