haha i know strange you could loose beer in a fridge. Its actualy a mini fridge in the garage that i used solely for brewing. Its been a long vacation and im ready to get back into things

Sooo, i havent posted here in 5 years, thats also the last time i brewed. THe last thing i brewed was a hefe in 06 and i just found about 20 bottles of it in my fridge and guess what... its FREAKEN AWESOME!!! its time to get back to brewing!!

I kinda grasped that idea since I read an article on in then posted a thread to see what everyone else thought about it.

Just got the latest BYO and theres an article on how to make an open top fermenter. Basically it works on the theory that a low wide fermenter is better than a tall narrow one. They say to use a true top-cropping yeast that will give you a vigerous ferment soon after pitching, this way the...

No its def a german hefe yeast, I was drinking one of his hefe's while he gave me the yeast. Very fruity, probably one the the best ive had yet.

To be honest Im not sure what the yeast is, its the house hefe yeast from my local brewpub.

I cant seem to find the thread I got the recipe in so i dont know who to give the credit to but here it is. Extract 3lbs. Light DME 3lbs. Wheat DME Specialty Grains .5lbs. CaraPils 2lbs. Crystal(or caramel) Malt (10 Lov) Steep @150 for 30 mins. Whole Leaf Hops .5oz Hallertauer for...

Yea it was Hefeweisen yeast he gave me.

I just finished cleaning up after brewing my first Hefe. Cant wait to see how this turns out I used a recipe I found on here and liquid yeast I got from the brewmaster at the local brew pub. If it comes out well there will definatly be more hefe's in the near future as he gave me a growler of...

love the label, also nice to see a local brewer on here.

raise the desk up to fit your fridge

Unless you have a way of recovering the refrigerant dont use any form of heat to fix it. Best bet is JB Weld, wipe with rubbing alchohol to make sure the area is clean and maybe scuff it up a little too to help the JB Weld stick.

I guess im gonna have to be the one to say it. Return it and get a bigger fridge.

your best bet would be a step drill, just put a 3/16 pilot hole in it and go to town with the step drill. I do allot of fab work and my step drill is my best friend.

I get all my stuff at the grape and granery. www.thegrape.net they seem to be the cheapest I could find for an all inclusive kit. I got a two stage w/ glass carboy, two cases of bottles, caps, capper, brew kettle, and a irish red kit for $160. Personally I did a single stage ferment for my first...

I definatly have had this happen. I love this amber ale at the rock bottom, but for some reason last week it just didnt do it for me. Last night I ordered one with my dinner and I think it was the best beer I ever had. I cant blame the food because I had the same meal both nights, must not have...

They make an unreal pumpkin spice ale at the Rock Bottom near me. They put a little brown sugar around the rim of the glass, fantastic. I think Ill join you guys in brewing something for october

No you shouldnt see anything, kind of a boring part of brewing since you cant see anything happening

possible change of plans, i was debating on making this a lager instead. One problem though..... i have no method of cold fermentation:(. if I use a steam beer yeast and ferment at about 60-65 deg. do you think Ill loose too much of the lager taste. Having never tasted a steam beer I dont know...
