Hey oh, This Friday I will be beginning my trip to Westvleteran. I am currently studying (german language) in Heidelberg, germany; so I am only a couple hours away. Friday after classes, me and a few friends will be hopping on the train and traveling to Brussels. Saturday morning we are...

1.) Centennial blonde 2.) Computer fan 3.) Gluten free American Brown ( for celiac uncle)

hey, I am sort of a new to hop substitutions too, but I would definetly recommend the Homebrewer's Garden for other bittering/flavoring herbs. A large section of the book is dedicated to this; I learned about an herb called Borage that is supposed to increase courage and merriment. The book is...

5 gallons of Bee Cave Brewery Bavarian Hefeweizen 180.5+5=185.5

Yeah, I added two gallons near the end because when I measured my wort towards the end of the boil, it seemed like I only had 7.5 gallons. My measurement method needs to be calibrated. My main issue, based on a abv calculator is that with my SG and Biermuncher's supplied FG, I am only going to...

So, I brewed my first 10 gallon all-grain batch yesterday. I broke my hydrometer the week before, and had ordered one, but it didn't show up until this morning. When I took the gravity it was 1.030, it had been fermenting for a few hours, but this seems way too low. According to the recipe, I...

Anyone? Someone has to have an opinion.

Well, it seems it's the season and SWMBO is asking for christmas lists. She agreed that a stout tap was a very good investment:D, but I am having trouble finding reccomendations for which brand to go with. It seems like I can either go with an adjustable or not and then there are a few brands...

Thanks for all of the quick replies! I will probably step up to the 60 quart brew kettle. I did not realize how high the spicket on the igloo cube was, I might have to consider the Coleman Extreme. As for the grain mill, I plan on milling the grain before hand. And thanks for the tip on the...

Hey, so I recently finished my kegerator build, and now my beer demand is greater than my now extract brewing capacity. Since my birthday is at the end of the month, I think I am going to go all grain. I was hoping I could get a critique from the collective knowledge of this forum on the...

Thanks for all the replies, and thanks for that information BigEd, I wondered how Mike's ended up being that colorless. If I try to make lemonade again I will definetly look into rice/corn instead of malt extract. That makes more sense, since if I'm not wrong thats how BMC ends up with such a...

hey, I just finished bottling my first batch of amber ale, tried it, odd after taste, but I'm hoping after carbonation it'll be fine. Anyway, after bottling the amber ale I transferred my hard lemonade to the carboy, and I snagged a cup during transfer. It doesn't taste bad, but it...

Thanks for all the replies! I don't know how practical the yard of ale would be, but at the very least it would make for a sweet display. I might have to pick up a couple half yards, for practice/ drinking games. I thought about checking ebay, but was sorta leery, with the shipping of it. Thanks...

Hey, I was looking through different drinking glasses, and came accross these and thought that one (or two:D) would make a great addition to my bar. I was just wondering if anyone knew of a place to order one of these. Most of the ones I can find online are only shipped in the...

Hey, I just finished my first attempt at brewing, an altitude amber ale kit from homebrewers.com,which is fermenting nicely, and am planning my next brew. I have been looking at some different recipes, and I would like to do a sunset wheat clone, but the girlfriend wants to try a hard...
