Hey everyone. I am organizing a bulk grain buy in the Metro Detroit area. This will be the 4th grain buy of it's kind that we have done, and they go very smoothly. Grain prices are great and everyone saves money. We had reached a pallet max of 42 bags, but one fella dropped out, and we are...

Hey all, I am about to harvest my second year Centennial plant and I expect more hops than I'll be able to use up by next year's harvest. I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion on what to do to test the bitterness level of the hops since I won't be sending them to a lab to determine the...

So Bjornbrewer and I decided to make this 10g batch of Russian Imperial Stout. He's got a keggle, we both have 10g Rubbermaid Mash tuns. We decide to go ALL GRAIN on this thing by splitting the grain bill down the middle and each make a "5 gallon batch", then collect it all in the keggle...

Hello Fellow Brewers!! I also hail from Michigan, Warren to be precise. I've been brewing now for 6 years. I currently have a mighty dark in color, very hoppy IPA conditioning in the keg. It's a new recipe I tried using some new malts I've never tried (Munich and something else). I guess...

Another question, O wise brewers!! I noticed a significant drop in my tanks PSI from about 650 to 500 overnight. I charged the keg and disconnected the tank to see if the pressure comes back up after the tanks warms back up, thinking the cold temp may have caused it. If it turns out that...

I just kegged my first beer tonight and I am wondering how many batches I'll be able to keg before my c02 runs out? Any words of wisdom?
