Thanks was looking at there web site , but there isn't anything on calender coming up. Job I have will take up most of my time plus moving into an apartment so won't be able to brew big batches like I normally do. Have purchased a couple kits to take with me.

Moving to Bossier city 1st of may. Are there any homebrew supply stores? Would like to get as much info about clubs as well? Do you have any contact information?

Thanks gives me some great Ideas. Just need to be real accurate because trying to work on a recipe by adding to 1 gallon at a time.

I did a search on here and online trying to find a scale that will give me accurate measurements. I have a large and small manul scale but I was trying to weight 1/2 of small cinnamon stick and didn't even move it. Want to be as accurate as I can. Any ideas of scale that will go that low?

About 2 years ago maybe longer Blue Rhino went around and picked up all tanks considered 20 lb and replaced them with 15lb tanks. If you have older tanks that are considered 20 lb it's cheaper to have filled. I take 2 tanks to u-haul and have filled when empty. Last time cost me 27.00 to fill...

On my last batch 1 is choco stout the other plain stout works great to play. Also a few batches ago did oatmeal raisin in 5 left the other 5 plain. Like both. To each his own.

I use baggies and rolling pin, but you might want to control how crushed you get. I have a wit that I crushed really hard and the coriander was overpowering but it has set for 4 months and is right on now. Good luck

I try to buy a years 2 row supply and pilsner at 1 time. keeps my cost down as have to drive aways to pick up grain. average 250 lbs of 2 row 50 lbs pilsner. Speciality malts go to local lbs buy in 5 or 10 lb pkgs so always have something onhand to be able to brew. When i decide what I want to...

I try to buy at least 250 lbs of 2 row at 1 time to lower cost since I have to drive 200 miles for pickup. I buy crystal in full sacks as it's about half the price at local hbs. It seams to last, as long as stored in a cool place. All of my grains are stored in my basement. When I buy...

Thanks guys not really problem in hooking up just regulator as there is an arrow showing diection for gas to flow. Was trying not to throw crap into landfeild. Will bite bullet buy full thing and try to find someplace to recycle other parts.

I have 2 different models off this burner one came with 30 psi regulator and other came with 20 psi regulator. I had better control and used less propane with 20 psi. It blew and now would like to replace it, but all i can find is with the hose's and don't need those mine our fine. Any ideas...

thanks for a great program. I'm having a few problems and I'm sure it's me. When I follow the manual and try adding the hops I end up with 43.2 for bitterness. I have played around on how I type in the time no luck. Another question is about the sparge temp. It shows 165.200 but I always try to...

diatomaceous earth works great on ants won't harm your hops. Put it on the ground around the plants and they won't be climbing on them any more. I hate ants i sprinkle this around the foundation of my house I don't normaly get ants. Give it a try. Not expensive and works for me.

Blue rhino changed the size of there tanks about a year ago. It's not that they are still a 20 lb tank and only filling it with 15 lbs it they are only a 15 lb tank. Where I work I tell people that they should go somewhere to have there old 20 lb tanks filled as the new tanks are only 15 lb. The...

Got 2 off my plants last year. Second harvest better then First. Second year plants.

Do I drink too much probably. I don't take any readings on the beer I brew. I don't brew for the buzz I brew for the taste. I enjoy being able to drink 3 or 4 different styles in 1 evening. I don't drink and drive I like to stay home at night after working all day. So maybe I have a drinking...

I have Fuggles,Tettnanger,Glacier,Chinook and Centennial.Really only problem was the Jap beetles. The fuggles didn't get over 10' feet tall. Really didn't get any type of harvest. The tettnanger got about 15' tall and didn't get anything off of it either but both are considerd low yield.the...

I live in springfiled. I got about 10 ounces off my vines this year. They are second year. I have 5 varietys. 1 vine did nothing I believe due to the fact that it was to close to my compost pile possible burning it up. Problem with japenese beetles eating up vines. Was on vacation out of town...

I have 5 varietys of hops spaced about 5 ft apart. I know that they are to close but this is just 2nd year. I keep reading different posts about putting a barrel around each to keep from spreading. How big of a barrel? Will plastic work? Plan on moving in spring to give each plant more room but...

Thanks. I had read from palmer to take a pre boil reading to figure mash efficiency which is why I was taking small samples because of the fact that I always start my boil as soon as collect my 1st batch sparge. Plus have been thinking about getting brew software and fiqured I needed to start...
