    Bizarre Hydrometer OG Reading

    I brewed an English Mild today, and during the process I checked my Pre-Boil OG on my hydrometer just to see how the mash went. Well I was shocked to get a reading of 1.008. I can't make heads or tails of it. I even tasted the grains, as I usually do, after sparging and if there's any sweetness...

    Winter Wheat Recipe Design Input Please

    I've been kicking around the idea of developing a winter wheat for Christmas. Well after trying Bell's Winter White Ale last weekend, I've decided I definitely need to pursue this. I've started with Campfire Brewing's Winter Wheat recipe as a base. The recipe calls for Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Clove...

    My parents will be coming down from Indiana spending Christmas with my wife and I in Georgia. It's been 5 years since I last lived in Indy. My mom, being the saint that she is, will be bringing me a treasure trove of beers from the Midwest that don't make their way to GA. My question to you...

    Fermenting with 2 Yeast Strains

    I'm sure this concept isn't new, and I'm not sure even what the result would be. I'm not even sure why I would do it except out of curiosity. Could you do a beer (high OG or regular OG, feel free to explain for either) with one yeast strain for the first 24-48 hours. Cold Crash. Rack to clean...

    Keg Pouring Mystery

    I'm having some problems with an Amber I've kegged. Here's the down and dirty, any solutions would be appreciated. I carb'd at 14psi for about a week, turned it down, and bled the keg a few times over the course of another week. What confuses me about this problem, is the symptoms don't seem...

    Shredded Unsweetened Coconut

    What's the most reasonable anyone has found? I didn't think shredded coconut would be anywhere near as expensive as it is. I found it for 3.87/lb. If you found it for less, where'd you find it? Please share!

    Beersmith 2.0 Water Adjustment question

    Does anyone know, and maybe I'm just missing the feature, if beer smith has a water adjustment for beer styles feature? This is one of the primary reasons I purchased beersmith and it seems that it's lacking this critical feature. I've loaded my local water profile, and what I was looking...

    Man Rule: Public Bathroom Etique

    Man Rule: (Only involving #1 before any sickos get any ideas...) In a restroom with multiple urinals (more than 2) it is understood that you leave one between you and the person next to you in a time of low occupation as a buffer zone. If there are several empty stalls do you... 1) Use...

    I've been experimenting with different kinds of beers to make beer brats, and being how it's a great grilling weekend ahead I thought I'd ask your opinions. I realize the poll doesn't include every specific category, of beer but I tried to cover the general ones. If there's a specific kind...

    AUGUSTA/CSRA Area - Found Yellow Lab

    Fellow home-brewers. I have found a yellow female lab running around my neighborhood. I think she was probably abandoned. She has a collar and seems to be about 7-12 months, very much a happy puppy personality. She was skiddish at first, but has since become very excited to see me (I'm a 6'5...

    Puppy Name for Golden/Black Lab - Warning - Adorable Puppy Pictures to follow

    We're trying to pick a name for our new puppy. We got him last night, he was free, and is only 4.5lbs. The owner of the mom said he was "7 weeks," but there's no way. Our other golden was 16 lbs at 8.5 weeks. We think he's more like 5 weeks. The mom had two litters back to back accidentally...

    Adding ball valve and thermo to 5gal pot?

    I've got a 5 gallon pot that I've used in the past for a extract brewing. Now that I've got my keggle done, I'm going to use this pot for sparge water. Is there any reason I can't use my step bit to punch a 7/8 in hole in it just like I did the keg and put a weldless ball valve on it instead of...

    Stone Brewery Russian Imperial Stout - 2014 Release

    Has anyone else tried this? Wow what a beer. I tried it a couple weeks ago, and I was curious as to others' thoughts? I can say this, the 1st glass was intense. Very heavy thick beer that rivals the oldest of engine oils. Each drink was riddled with flavors that were aggressive but not...
