I have been looking to build a Ferm chamber since my old fridge I was using died. Thanks for the idea

The coconut came through nicely and did not present any off flavors or funk. I read as many recipes as I could find ahead of time and the opinions were split pretty evenly. I do think toasting the coconut ahead of time really helps the flavor.

That is a great idea! I have not heard of purposely planning to add more yeast throughout fermentation. Makes sense when I consider that if you have a stuck fermentation that you can add more yeast. I guess they have their recipes dialed I. To the point that they know exactly when fermentation...

When I brewed CS a few years ago the same thing happened to me. My wife and kids found it after a few hours but the beer still turned out pretty good.

I was given a GE Mini Fridge and after dropping down the freezer section 1 ball lock keg fits perfectly. I would love to put 2 ball lock kegs in the fridge but it appears I only have 16.5 inches of free space and it looks like I need at least 17 inches. Is it possible to take out the interior...

My original intent was to use US-05 but my local shop was out so I went for the English Ale Yeast. I want to try it with US-05 to see if I notice a difference

I want to try some different hops just so I can figure out the differences each hop addition brings to the table. I was pleased with the flavor of this one and definitely excited that I had made my clearest beer yet.

I am by no means a lifelong brewer or even a great brewer but I am a bit excited about this one. An easy drinking 4.6% Ale. Just enough hop bitterness and flavor for what I was aiming for. This was loosely based on EdWort's Haus Pale Ale as I could not get all of the same ingredients locally for...

I know what you mean. I watched several videos and read as much as I could before I touched my boil kettle with a drill.

Great point in using the step bit. I looked at using a step bit as well but I found the punch set on the cheap.

Yeah the same clear vinyl tubing we use for beer lines and transferring.

I recently acquired a 3 way CO2 manifold that I was going to use to connect to my 3 kegs. In my excitement at the thought of having 3 kegs to choose from I neglected to pick up an extra gas line from my regulator to the manifold. I have some extra plastic tubing and a 5/16 barb. Is it okay to...

If you can drink it, it is a winner in my book as your first brew. Book/HBT knowledge only gets you so far. Until you brew your first batch you really don't know what you don't know. All in all, brewing is a fun hobby that you can take as seriously as you want, but when the end result is beer...

I would love to add another great tool to me Brewing tool box

I could be getting it confused because it didn't make much sense the other way but when in doubt ask, just not for driving directions.

I have done 2 all grain batches, the first being a quite tasty Stout and the second an Amber Ale fermenting nicely but I have found that maybe I have been doing my mash wrong. My method was to heat my strike water to my desired temperature then dump it into my cooler with a false bottom. Now I...

If you are near the coast try Chandeleur in Gulfport. If you are near Hattiesburg try Southern Prohibition in Hattiebsurg or Slow Boat in Laurel. There are some further north but I do not know as much about them.

MS has come a very long way in a very short time. Great news from our legislature today.

Funniest response I have read all day!

Yeah a 5 gallon batch with a 1.072 OG and finished at 1.012. I expected the higher ABV and is still tastes pretty good to my untrained tastebuds.
