Hey guys, Wanting to tap into some of the creative genius I know exists out there. I bought a canner recently and have started making labels for my homebrews. Our faux name is "Vintage Vinyl Brewing" as we love music and vinyl records (and beer of course). Wanted to start a thread to see what...

I didn't get any action on this in the recipe/ingredients Forum so I figured I would try to post it here to get some feedback So, one of my favorite things about my childhood was maltesers which are essentially the Canadian / British version of a Whopper candy. I was fumbling around on some...

So, one of my favorite things about my childhood was maltesers which are essentially the Canadian / British version of a Whopper candy. I was fumbling around on some recipe websites when I came across an old recipe for malted milk ball Stout. The problem is the author of the recipe can't be...

Preferrably 3/8 barb since im using 5/16 gas lines.

Alright so I just kegged a Saison and an amber. I connected my CO2 tank to my regulator and I connected my regulator to my 2-way manifold which I then ran gas lines to each of my two corny kegs. I checked all the seals with star Stan and I didn't see any leaks. What PSI should I put my beers at...

Okay so, I'm going to be brewing a 5-gallon Pliny Clone All Grain batch via biab tonight. I had intended to do a Yeast Starter however, due to some complications I was unable to do so. According to yeast calc I need 274 million yeast cells to ferment this beer which has an OG of 1.08. Since a...

I converted to brew in a bag about a month or so ago. I bought a 10 gallon kettle with a port for a ball valve and the whole nine yards. After a couple of batches I feel pretty good about the process. However, I'm thinking I want to start doing some experimental type batches now and I don't want...

So I'm thinking about brewing a stout, maybe a chocolate milk stout or something like that. Are Stouts okay in a keg carbonated with CO2? I know that a lot of stout people say that you should use a nitrogen gas with Stouts but at this point in time buying a nitrogen tank and having a spout for...

Ok so... i brewed a Brewers Best Belgian Saison partial mash kit back on Feb 11th... Went into the fermenter and sat around 67 or 68 for aboit 7 days. Airlock activity stopped and the krausen fell (it never really got very thick... never over an inch that i saw). I believe i was pretty low on...

Heck is going on here...

I have a stupid question about bottle conditioning. So I bottled two 5 gallon batches of beer a couple weeks ago and they've been in my cool basement for the last couple weeks. I popped open a couple of bombers this past weekend for the Super Bowl (FLY EAGLES FLY!!! WOOHOO!!!) And I was...

So, I decided to splurge on a stir plate kit and try doing yeast starters in my beers. I just have a curious question about a Yeast Starter. Does it increase the chances of a krausen blow off? Or does it decrease the chances of one? I've never done one and I'm doing a Pliny the Elder clone which...

I have an opportunity to acquire the upright freezer pictured below. I'm thinking it might be suitable for a fermentation chamber? I have two inkbird 308 devices and two heating pads so I really just need some advice as far as how I convert this into a fermenting chamber in the event I want to...

I have two partial mash complete kits i bought two weeks ago. I converted to an AG setup so I am listing them for sale because I have no idea how to convert the DME to grain 1) Brewer's Best Belgian Saison https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00R8T1BP4/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 2) Erik Beer's Cream...

I've got to say, this is one of the coolest and most epic beer labels I've ever seen. The beer is damn good too!

What is this condensation in my fermenter and is it normal?

Okay, so my cream ale has been in the fermenter for about 48 hours and it's bubbling and whistling like crazy, how do I know when it's time to bottle? Do I go by time or do I go by some other characteristic? I've read that when it stops bubbling in my airlock to give it 48 hours then test the...

Hello fellow Brewers, I have my first ever beer in my fermenter as we speak. I just pitched it and started fermenting it in my 7 gal fermonster last night. I'm already thinking ahead to temperature control. I purchased an ink bird and a heating pad on Amazon this evening at the advice of my...

Has anyone around here ever thought about I brew buddy system where you can exchange phone numbers if you're a newbie with somebody who's a little bit more experience and you can call them if your brewing and you come across something or if you have some questions and don't want to sit here and...

Howdy brew crew, I purchased a cream ale extract kit from more beer.com and it doesn't come with yeast. I'm wondering if anyone has a suggestion for what yeast I should use with this. I have attached the recipe card so you can see the ingredients.
