A buddy and myself are having a brew day and were thinking of doing a Scottish Ale. I was looking over the NB kits and found this one as part of there pro series kits. I was looking over the hop schedule and see that it says 3oz of hops at 10min. This seems like a lot to me, is this correct...

I have had a few smoke beers and I thought it would be neat to add one to list. I have also always wanted to try one of the Surly kits from NB, since there brews seem to be all the talk lately. Has anyone tried the AG Smoke kit?

I am currently in grad school for Master's of Architecture and have been working with a design/build studio where we are using shipping containers to build a structure for a local non-profit. Shipping containers seem to be the fad for the past five years, but they are popular for a reason. The...

What is everyone's preference on cleaning hop bags? I have three that I've been using for about five years now. They have turned a brownish green color from all the hops and brews they've been in... Kind of made me wonder why they turned a different color. Does that mean they are not clean...

I decided to make today an overall brew day. Woke up, made some coffee and started getting the homebrew gear together. I transferred my black IPA to secondary so I could dry-hop. Then I washed the WLP001 yeast from that primary, while getting my water warming to strike temp. After that...

Maybe this is just crazy to me, but I have made a handful of starters before but they have never had a krausen like this!!! I figured it's be neat to share. =) This is the first time I've washed yeast and used for a starter.

Since getting back into brewing after taking a couple of years off, I have really started thinking about getting into buying my base malts in bulk. Maybe its due to the economy, but all I think about lately is ways to make my brewing more economical. Bulk grain, waging yeast... Anything and...

Just moved down to New Orleans and gotten back into brewing pretty regularly. I have never bought my grain in bulk, but it seems to be cost effective since I just used about 25 pounds of 2-row in my last 3 brews. I was just posting to see if anyone has or is willing to setup a group buy for...

I recently had to switch to small batch brewing because I relocated and now live in an apartment. I have done 2 brews recently, one 2.5 gallon and one 3 gallon. All the glass carboys I have a re 6.5 gallon, so I picked up a 3 gallon better bottle from the LHBS to use for secondary. Now time...

This may be an odd question, but has anyone ever used the yeast after fermentation for making bread? I have a friend that makes his own yeast starters bread and we're talked about using different types of beer yeast. I am getting ready to transfer a beer from primary to secondary and was this...

So.... after 3 years of not brewing I brewed a 2.5 gallon batch of Bee Cave Brewery Haus Pale Ale yesterday. I have moved since the last time brewing and had to adapt all of my techniques to apartment living. I wanted to stick with all grain, so I tried no sparge BIAB. It was an interesting and...

I have been brewing on and off for the past 7 years and recently had to relocate to an apartment. With that I am not going to be able to use a propane burner to do brewing anymore. Since being here, I have tried to get a 5 gallon boil going on my stove and it will not get above a slow simmer...

I have been looking around for a front loading fridge or freezer for fermentation... Is it really a wasty of space to get something like this instead of a chest freezer..?? I want to have the most space for carboys, but really dont want to have to lift full carboys in and out of a chest...

I have been looking for a good allgrain recipe for the Rogue Dead Guy Ale... I searched the forums and most of the recipes seem somewhat old, so I figured I'd ask to see if anyone has anything new..?? also, what adds the somewhat fruity flavor to this beer..?? All the recipes I have seen...

Well i finally decided to buy a bottle tree since I've almost killed myself a few times balancing bottle upside down on my counter... they act like dominos when one falls... not fun..!!! I noticed that morebeer has a bottle tree thats half the price of everywhere else... is there a reason...

I have heard of people doing things with there spent grains after brewing. A few said they bake bread and I even think someone said something about granola bars. Is this really possible?? If so, does anyone have any links to pages that explain how to do this? Thanks again for everyone help...

I brewed my first all-grain this past weekend and took a hydrometer reading before boiling and without thinking I took the reading at the temp of the wort leaving the mash tun... I wrote everything down thinking I could just adjust it based off the temp later on... well after looking at all the...

Well after 2 years of brewing with extract and specialty grains I finally made the jump to all-grain this past weekend... I brewed orfy's Hobgoblin-II recipe and everything went smoother than I had expected... my 52 qt. Xtreme mash tun held its temp with only a 1 degree drop over 90 minutes...
