Have you been brewing as much this summer? I got a decent inventory going in June and haven't brewed since. Too hot, too busy and with weekends away from home and people on vacation, the HB is lasting a lot longer. OF course, two kegs kicked this week so I have two on backup that will go in...

Did a recipe from my local homebrew shop. The Hefenweizen yeast gave it a taste I didn't like so I did it with White Labs Australian Ale yeast. All I can say is GREAT! :mug: Gonna have to make up another batch because this one won't last long!

Here is my entry in my brewing notebook. As you can see, I had several issues. One was that I changed a lot of variables in this batch. Second, I am not used to using a turkey cooking burner. Third, I think the bazooka tube sucks, frankly. I also think the hole for the spigot that's in my...

Well...I finally got to brew with the converted Keg yesterday. I did the Imperial IPA and did a full 5 gallon boil. Lots of hops so my wife was happy I did it outside. It started out when I saw that the bag of dry malt had fallen onto an old co2 tank and punctured. Luckily I didn't lose...

This is a Chicago Beer. Very nice. Anyone ever have it? Love to get a partial mash recipe!

Yesterday I was all set to do a double batch outside using my converted keg boiling pot. Brought it outside and placed it on my turnkey fryer burner. The keg's diameter is 16 inches. The burner frame is 14 inches. Given that the bottom of the keg is not flat (outside ring and then concave)...

I've got a good sized used refrigerator that I fit 2 corny kegs and co2 in, and it has a shelf above and door shelving for other stuff. Instead of adding a separate kegerator, I've decided I want to buy a couple door taps and the right connectors. That will be a cheap way to do it and will...

Still working out my carbonation issues. I have been lucky to get ahead of the game and have a couple full kegs in backup. Typically, when I keg, I force carbonate for 4 days at 20 psi. My question is, if I'm not going to drink it, do I just disconnec the CO2? Do I disconnect, purge and...

With the weather promising to get warmer soon I've made a brew pot out of a keg and I plan to put it to use real soon. Are there any tricks or techniques for keeping everything nice and clean in the outdoors? For instance, should I boil with a lid partially on? Thanks!

Getting my new brew kettle in order. 15.5 gallon converted keg. I'm thinking I can do triple batches of the usual batches I do in the 5 gallon pot. Total volume would be about 9-10 gallons. Anyone just double or triple their batches? Anything to look out for? :mug:

Just a quick question. I've limited my use of this product to mixing it into a spray bottle and then spritzing the stuff I cleaned the last time I brewed as well as any surface or item that the batch may come in contact with. Are other people using it more at the primary sanitizer, for...

I started with this stuff and liked it over Chlorine or other based cleaners out of fear that I'll poison my beer. I see there are some other products that advertise as no-rinse. I'm told Bio San is now off the market. Is this true?

I see sig tags with what's brewing. Primary, secondary, on tap. Is that an html thing? Me...I've got an oatmeal stout and a 4th version knockoff of a local amber in the primary, a light ale and a Canadian Ale with honey (finished with Champagne yeast) in the secondary, a Canadian Ale with...

Hi people, I'm new to this board but I've been reading and you folks seem to know your stuff. I'm lucky because my best friend's been brewing partial mash for a few years and he hooked me up with his local homebrew supply shop where the owner and his wife are very knowledgeable and have...

Hello. Robbw here. I'm a new member and discovered this site while looking for an online homebrew community. I used to brew back 10 or so years ago. Got interested again when my best friend got into partial mash brewing a few years ago. Started brewing about 3 months ago. Doing partial mash...
