Thanks to a snow day I was able to finish my malt mill and get a brew under its belt. I love this thing. No longer will I need to hold a drill! It's just one more improvement that makes a brew day a bit smoother. It works really well. The motor is 177 rpm that I bought from...

...there's no other way to get quality alone time, aka "therapy" whilst brewing, that let's me escape from the day-to-day drama and, in the end, produces a product that let's me secretly steal away a little more pure and glorious enjoyment each and every night. Just a small drunken thought...

Oh God, I didn't realize how critical a good pint glass is to my enjoyment of brew. I'm trapped at my mother-in-laws moth ball smelling old lady smelling house for a week over Christmas. This year I was smart. Brought my own brew but drinking out of these nasty glasses of hers I'm missing...

Anyone had their stuff? This might be the best way to spin starting a brewery to the SWMBO...gotta pay for our daughter's wedding somehow. From CNN iReport: Three dads, two uncles and seven little girls have joined forces to create an award winning, family-run, microbrewery that has taken...

I brewed my first 10 gallon recipe, a high gravity (1.067) IPA. When I chilled the wort, I recirculated into the same vessel and once I hit the right temperature I dumped into two separate 5 gallon fermenting buckets. In each bucket I pitched one package of dry yeast (Nottingham). Two days...

Hey folks, Just finished my Brutus clone and plan to brew 10g tomorrow, first batch on the new rig. I've been preoccupied tweaking my rig that I forgot to plan a recipe. So, I'm hoping for some help. Not new to AG, just the new equipment. I'm a fan of Ed Wort's Haus Pale Ale and have...

Well, let me preface this thread by saying I am completely impatient. I get these crazy thoughts that I can DIY anything and then quickly realize I'm in over my head. Building my Brutus so far has not been as challenging as I thought, but I suspect I'm at the point where I'm going to need some...

I brewed a West Coast Pale Ale using my converted cooler and consider it a success since I reached the right volume and gravity and it's fermenting away. In addition to using the converted cooler for the first time, I used my new CFC, which worked wonders. Other than dealing with a frozen...

So I've got a Rogue Dead Guy ale kit from Costco that does not come with yeast. I'm aware that there's a proprietary yeast that they recommend using, but I don't feel like ordering and waiting or searching locally. I want to brew now! :) So here's some spare dry yeast I've got sitting...

I figured I'd say hey before I started taking advantage of the great wealth of knowledge here. I'm a born-again-brewer; used to do it before I got married. Now my wife is kind enough to let me get back into it to include setting up a Keezer to take the hassle out of bottling. My first batch...
