So...I've been on hiatus for nearly three years. I guess you can call this a bit of a comeback. Up until the beginning of this hiatus my homebrewing process, like that of many others, was steadily evolving. But throughout that evolution my process never really left the stovetop for various...

There are several recipes listed right where you posted your request. Take your time to read through them.

Apartment living can, and often does, present challenges to my homebrewing ambitions. My brewing process has, to this point, never really left my stove-top. I have been lucky enough in that the last two apartments, that I have called home, came with a decent stove installed. Full boils for my...

But...apparently he used my credit card to settle up matters with Brewmaster's Warehouse..

I am looking for a bit of advice from the community related to using the 4-prong dryer receptacle to power my 240V 30A control panel. My control panel is wired using 240V 30A 10/3 AWG (3/C 10 AWG) wire with NEMA L6-30P (Male) and NEMA L6-30R (Female) twist-lock connectors. The wall receptacle...

...to Star San. I began my brewing adventures using Iodophor, and until recently saw no reason to try any other product. I was very happy with Iodophor. Ever since leaving a small iodine stain on an area-rug, over which my carboy sat upside-down during sanitation, I decided to give Star San...

I guess you can tell what kind of mood I was in today. However, this picture reminds me of that Sesame Street game, "One of these things" (is not like the others). :mug:

I have recently moved to Atlanta and as a result I am in the process of finding local sources for my many wants. Near the top of my priority list is the search for a local market with a wide selection of craft beer. I am hoping my HBT community brethren can assist me in my search. Anyone have...

I just experienced one of those rare moments of cognizance, which I felt I needed to share. Since I am sitting alone (supposedly working at my desk, but actually lurking on HBT), with no one nearby with which to share, I decided to share it here. Over the years I have learned a great many...

SWMBO and I took a quick day-trip over to Singapore to pick up a few things we have been missing and we had a chance to stop by Brewerkz (brew pub) for a quick bite and a couple drafts before catching our ferry back to Indonesia. It was sort of a surprise trip to the brewery, in fact. We were...

and my Pale Ale was forced to ferment with a blow-off tube with the same blow-off container sanitizer water for about 3 and a half weeks. The beer has a bit of a sour/stale smell to it that I have not yet experienced in my brewing to this point. My first thought is of course infection, but I...

Let's say I have a 2k ml flask and Mr. Malty tells me I only really need around 1260 ml for the batch I am about to brew. What if I make up 1.6 to 2k ml at 1.035 or so and pitched that? Any issues I should be concerned about?

I have spent the last 15 minutes searching for a thread that I thought covered some details that were focused on shipping samples. Perhaps I am suffering from short-term memory issues but I thought there was such a thread. Anyone have any Best Practice techniques that are tried and true?

MMMmmmmmmmmm....... First-off, I need to give props where props are due. This recipe is not some delicious creation of mine so I will be sure to give Jaime Oliver all the credit. In truth, that dude is the secret to my success in terms of my becoming a decent cook, if only in my own kitchen...

While brewing my latest batch of IPA I had a revelation... Since I was going to be making this batch so hop-heavy (extract batch) I wanted to steap and boil as much wort volume as possible. Additionally, I wanted to make this batch a 6+ gal batch as opposed to my typical 5 gal batches because...

6 gal batch of American IPA...should be delicious, cant wait! Chinook Centennial Simcoe Zeus

...when I made my starter. I poured the starter wort into the flask when still pretty much at boil temp and I sanitized everything else (stir bar, aluminum foil, etc.). Would you toss it and start over or risk it?

So far, bottle conditioning has proven to be my principle nemesis when it comes to acheiving what I would deem acceptable results at this stage in my homebrewing endeavors. I have been absolutely pleased with my results in every aspect with the exception of carbonation consistency. I have, to...

Anyone try this yet? Hoptober | New Belgium I must say...delicious!
