First brew in months.. Midwest brewers pumpkin kit!

I'm currently using a turkey fryer burner for boiling but looking to go electric or even upgrade my propane cooking method. What is the best way to hit temperatures with propane? I'm having difficulties getting say 155 and maintaining for 30 minutes for steeping grains. Any input is greatly...

I brewed my pumpkin ale yesterday and as I finished up I realized I did not have an airlock. Not sure where I misplaced it but that's not the issue. Instead I pushed a piece of clear tubing through the hole in the lid of my fermenting bucket that I would normally put the air lock and placed the...

So i'm wanting to try some kind of a bourbon ale. I love bourbon and i love beer and i've just recently heard of a bourbon barrell porter. Does anyone have or seen a good recipe for a bourbon ale i can make. I've only done extract kits so i'm wondering if this might be my break into all grain...

I'm wanting to make my first batch of apfelwein and was wondering one question. One ingredient is corn sugar (dextrose sugar) can i get that at walmart or a grocery or will i have to order it from a brew store.

ok so i'm ready to transfer from primary to keg. its okay if i do this and then set the keg in a refrigerator out of the way not hooked up to co2. i'm guessing its cool but don't want to do anything to stupid.

Oh my you are going to have a kick ass time. Drink a liter for me:mug: If you think there is going to be rain for a day or two that would be the best time to do brewery tours. Oktoberfest is insane in all the tents when rain comes... On nice days though its usually not to bad to find spot to...

So on saturday i started my 2nd brew kit an american wheat beer and boiled 5 oranges peel zests the last 15 minutes of the boil. It smelled delicious. So my questions for you are about the fermentation. How long would you leave it in the primary and also would you put it in a secondary and if so...

so i have a american wheat beer kit and have a recipe that adds orange and lemon zest the last 15 minutes of the boil. I'm only wanting to add orange and was also wanting to check on something else. so zest is different from just peeling the oranges and putting them in the bag to boil right...

So i went ahead and ordered a cornelius keg. I already have a co2 tank and regulator that is in my current kegerator. I'm wanting to turn a cooler into a kegerator for going to parties and such events. Since i already have a co2 tank and regulator what else besides tubing and a faucet will i...

Its a Continental Light Ale (True Brew Kit) It is a...

how much zest should be added and also how long before the end of the boil. Also would you pour it into the primary or would you strain it out? Thanks

So i ordered a american wheat beer kit and was wondering if anyone has ever added real fruit to a kit. I'm planning on adding oranges into the brew sometime. Should it be during the boil or during fermentation. Do i just put some zest in from the peel or do i actually put junks of the oranges...
