Woot : One Day, One Deal (SM) It can monitor temps from up to 100 ft away. Perfect for monitoring the temp of your keezer, freezer, or kegorator without having to run another wire through the wall.

I had a Rare Vos about a week ago and decided to culture the yeast. Does anyone know if they use the same yeast used for fermentation or a bottling strain? I smelled it and it has a wine-like smell to it--not typical of a belgian strain, I thought.

I did a wit today, El Segundo grado wit, to be exact. I had horrible effiency. Did everything the same as I always do to get 70%. My LHBS crushed for me, and as far as I know it looked the same as always. I did not do a protein rest and just went with the single decoction at 154* for 50...

I have some White Labs witbier yeast. It's at least 6 months old, probably more like 9-12. It's from a previous batch that I just scooped out of the trub after primary fermentation. It's been in my fridge the whole time. I made a starter and it is doing well. My question is: Is this...

I live in Indianapolis, and Fat Tire is hard to come by here. I was amazed to see not only the Amber Ale, but also the Mothership Wit at my local Marsh(grocery, for those of you not from central Indiana) store. Are they selling in other regions? Cause last I knew they weren't selling...

Anyone ever used Sorachi Ace with Centennial and Cascade? Seems to me it fits the mix pretty well, but just wondering. Here's the recipe: Partial Mash 5 gal batch 4 gal boil 60 minute boil OG 1.044 FG(should be) 1.010-1.012 Nottingham yeast 5lbs 2-row 1lb Crystal 10L 1lb...

New to kegging and my first brew is just getting ready to drink from the keg. My first three 22oz pours have been full of floating hop particles. It sat in primary for two weeks, secondary for three weeks and the keg for three days. It was double dryhopped, but when I racked to the keg...

I did a little searching and couldn't find quite what I was looking, but was wondering about Magnum hops. The only thing I can find about them is they are good for bittering and fairly clean. I'm planning a SMaSH with it. Here's the basic recipe: 3 gal batch 7lbs MO(2 of it toasted...

As an early Christmas gift, I received an IC. After using it for the first time, I read that one should pre-boil the IC to remove some sort of coating on the copper...I didn't do that. So, I am wondering what off flavors might be produced by this.

I'm doing a wit with the "Easy Stovetop Allgrain Brewing" method. Recipe: 3 gal batch 4.5 lbs Wheat Malt 2 lbs 2-row .5 oz Argentine Cascade (60minutes) .25 oz Bitter Orange (15 mins) .25 oz Coriander (15 mins) Safbrew 06 Is WB-06 a good Wit yeast, or should I go with the White...

I've been drinking, so this makes sense to me... When boiling hops, the longer you boil, the more bittering qualities you get. when you dryhop, obviously you're not boiling the hops. So my question is...can I re-use the dryhop hops from my last batch as bittering hops for my next batch...

Hey everyone, I've got a few brews under my belt now. I want to start designing some my own recipes--simple stuff. I've tried Blue Moon clones and CitrusWeizens, but I never get the results I want. So, I'm wanting to design simple, IPA, APA, and Pale Ale recipes. I guess my questions...

Just wondering...I just picked up a sixer of SA Hefe and was wondering how traditional it is. I have a Hefe in primary that I will be comparing it to. If it's not very traditional, is there a comercial/micro that is considered traditional that I can get a good base from? Thanks

Anyone ever use this in a beer? I'm about to add a 1/2 cup of Coriander/Chinese Five Spice tea to my wit. It's been in secondary for about three months due to a amazingly orange-bitter flavor. 1/2 cup water 1/2 oz coriander 2 tsp CFS

Alright, so I'm doing my first partial mash on Friday evening and I just want to make sure I have the steps correct. I'll be using a grain bag with: 1lb Wheat 1lb 6-row 1lb flaked wheat 1. Get mash water(3.5 qts) to 165* and add grain bag. 2. Hold at 155* for 1 hour. 3. Remove grain...

Hey guys...quick question... I added a tad too much of the orange zest(and, on top of that, I think I got too much pith in the zest), so it is quite orangy-bitter. Is there a way to mellow that without brewing another small batch with no orange and adding them together? recipe from...
