Was going to order some yeast for a cider today and went on midwest supplies website and oh boy looks like all their yeast got a decent price hike compaired to every other home brew supply website....Figured i would pass this on. Some of the yeast got up to 3 dollar price increase but most...

Created this recipe based off of the style guidelines just curious what people think... I think it would be rather interesting to brew this spring

I was thinking using the oats as a body enhancer and to also make it creamy not so much as flavor if that makes sense... Just as a curious what would you suggest for the amount of oats if it was you?

Good evening guys I have a partial mash oatmeal stout I am wondering on for just something to try my hand at building my own stout. What do you think. It is a partial mash recipe.

I run all my ciders through stainless perlicks as this way I do not have to worry about any of it leaching flavors.. They not much more expensive versus the cheaper ones.

I didn't like the fact I cant take apart a plate chiller so I went on mine with a counterflow chiller. The big benefit to me was it is much harder to plug and much easier to clean for me.

Ok i have done this in the past before... I have the hardware to convert to commercial keg of cider any time i want and my tips are pretty easy. First of all i did not worry about special line as it is not important in a sense. It all follows the same rules of balancing the lines to make it pour...

Bingo that is exactly what i am doing. My goal is to make this as easy as possible after all work smarter not harder =D

Any tips I would definitely like. I definitely will not be guessing at those temps I just don't have the instructions handy ATM. As for hops ultilization I was planning the usual 10% reduction.

Getting ready to brew a extract kit that includes a partial mash. http://www.austinhomebrew.com/AHS-Bavarian-Hefeweizen-15A--MINI-MASH_p_2455.html Just looking to do a gut check with you guys as i want to do a full boil with this kit instead of a partial boil and top up water as suggested...

is there any tricks to having a 15 gallon kettle but only using it to make 5 gallon batches? i think that is why i cant decide. I like having the bigger pot but with only using 1/3 of the pot the liquid level is awful low in compairison to using the 10 gallon kettle that is around 1/2 full

Definally a good point my problem is i have the cfc and pumps for a brewing rig just no pot to brew in currently. I have the cash for either pot also.

sure seems like people like the 15 gallon pot. If i had spike do a custom kettle anyone have feedback to what they would suggest to get port location wise?

I like to typically brew things around 1.050 to 1.080 but i like to get into barleywine styles and those can easily get around 1.080+

Just out of curiosity i like the biab method to make 5 gallon batches would that push me toward the 15 gallon kettle as you sometimes need lot more water in there?

I swear i have searched google way too many times on this subject myself. I am looking to purchase a new kettle for my self and i want to do it right the first time. I am stuck between a 10 gallon and a 15 gallon spike kettle but just cant decide. Spike suggested that i get a 15 but i am...

soap and water in a spray bottle will show you exactly where the leak is. My bet its the regulator. If it does happen to be the co2 tank it is not repairable under that much pressure. I would drain the co2 slowly and go have it exchanged out if it was me, If it was just exchanged i would take...

I would be careful case in point. I work in the semiconductor industry and as part of my job i expose tubing to acid. While i have decontaminated the tubing and its safe you really can not tell from looking at it versus brand new tubing. If it was me i would try and find out where those were...

In my experience with any ball valve some are better than others. But they all cause some level of flow issues. If i have to use them i love full port valves as there is less geometry versus other types of ball valves. I personally prefer butterfly valves. Unless it is a major issue to your...

My super champs are used soda kegs. I run mine up to rated pressure plus a bit more for hydro testing my kegs. (i test asme pressure tanks for a living) I have all super champion kegs from cornelius all that are rated for max working pressure of 130.
