Relist: For sale is a fairly complete all-grain setup. Local pickup or delivery from Long Island, NY. Most of this stuff is home-made because it was part of the fun of this hobby. Some of the major items are listed below: 1) 5 Gal Mash tun with Stainless Braided hose 2) Misc. small...

Sold Used once and eventually lost interest in the hobby. I also have a fairly complete all grain system for sale for local pickup. BC Shipped - $125. I think that's fair considering what it's going to cost me to ship it. Local pickup around Long Island, NY gets first dibs and will...

Thinking of selling off my all-grain equipment. I now work two jobs and this hobby has taken a back seat for a long while now. Only looking to sell as a full lot, local pickup or delivery from Long Island, NY. Most of this stuff is home-made because it was part of the fun of this hobby. Some of...

I'm looking to do a Munich Helles in the near future and was wondering if anyone has any first hand experience with Melanoidin Malt, and whether it is a "good enough" substitute for a Decoction Mash. I'm just trying to get the flavor close to the style, not really trying to follow BJCP...

I put this in 2008 Events as well, but I figured this might get more attention. This Saturday, 100+ beers, food, all inside Nassau Coliseum. Session I: 12 pm – 4 pm (doors open at 11:30 am) Session II: 5:30 pm – 9:30 pm (doors open at 5:00 pm) International Great Beer Expo :mug:

Made a starter on Wednesday using White Labs WLP029 Kolsch yeast. 3 days passed and no change in gravity, so unfortunately had to pitch some notty into my supposed to be Munich Helles. What's done is done, but I cannot get over wasting $8 on a vial of dead yeast. Just curious what you all...

I've always refused to acknowledge my significant others' history's as I feel it would never have made me happy afterwords, regardless of the 'damage'. Last night I got into a discussion with my swmbo about her history, and lucky for me it's not bad at all, and I'm slightly happy that I had an...

Hey Guys I just made an American Hefe using Argentine Cascades (In lieu of Tettnang because my LHBS didn't have any). Apparently the A.Cascades are a good substitute for Tettneg as per the writing directly on the package. Anyway, after transferring to secondary I tasted a sample and Woah...

Hey guys... I'm looking to start another AG batch, and want to do something less Americanish. I'd love a nice light German Ale, sort've like a German "Centennial Blonde". I cannot Lager yet, so anything but that would be great. I'm not very experienced with German beer's, but I know I do not...

Yes it's another one of those "First All-Grain" posts. Last night I brewed BierMuncher's Centennial Blonde. The entire operation went flawlessly. I pretty much nailed everything, except my evaporation rate because I was gun-shy about boiling over. However with the extra .25gal in my kettle I...

Okay, I get the fact that AB makes some terrible beer per beer 'elitist' standards, however I really don't understand the rage against the company. Without going on a rant, the way I see it is AB is a company that is out to make money. The only reason they are successful is because their...

So after reading so much hype about the quality of Star-san, I decided to go to my LHBS to pick some up for myself. I was informed that Star-san is illegal in NY because it can be used as a pesticide? Apparently LHBS was fined $5,000 for carrying it. He then suggested one-step, which is what...

So I completed my first PM last night. Belgian Wit. Went pretty much flawless and wound up with the best tasting wort I've made so far. (I'm used to extracts). I owe all thanks to the information on this forum for sure. Here's a few questions I had during my experience: 1. When you finish...

When you calculate efficiency of a partial mash, I'm assuming you can only do a post-boil/post "top-off" hydrometer reading for an accurate calculation? :mug:

I'm about to ask a very noobish question, but will really help me understand the difference between AG & PM. It seems to me, the only difference between AG & PM is that for AG, you will use a lot more grains during your mash to make up for the LME you would otherwise have with a PM. This is...

Hello all! I am new to this forum and feel like I should thank everyone for the amount of information I've "absorbed" in the past few days. Anyway, I'm about to do a Belgin Wit Partial Mash, and am looking for advice on how to clone Blue Moon as closely as possible. I am using a kit...
