I have been brewing electrically for a while when one of my friends made me a control panel. It worked well until it shorted out and almost electrocuted me. I don't know anything about electricity and quite frankly is scares me in the same way tornados scare me. Anyway, I do not brew...

I know that most people can score these pc fans for free when making a stir plate, but for those who cant, this is a pretty sweet deal. You can score a fan for next to nothing after the rebate. This is the fan. Here is the 10.00 off rebate.

I saw this great deal and thought I would share it with everyone. You get a 48-Quart Cooler, a 5-Quart Cooler, and a 1/3- Gallon Jug for 20 bucks. Also, I don't know if I am posting this post in the right section. Maybe there should be a homebrew related deal section for stuff like this. I...

First off, thank you to everyone in this forum for all the guidance and help regarding hop growing! I live in Florida and am growing rhizomes. These are first year plants and are doing really well so far. I am curious, are these pots going to hold up this year, or do I need bigger ones...

I am the anti-greenthumb, but despite my terrible gardening skills, I decided to attempt to grow hops! I ordered 5 cascade rhizomes from freshops.com. Florida is a tough place to grow hops due to the heat and heavy rains in the summer. On top of this, my backyard does not drain well. Having...

After years of brewing partial mash, I am FINALLY moving to all grain. I just finished getting my electronic brewing controller built and have almost everything I need. I have 2 coolers which will serve as my MLT and HLT. One cooler is a 10 gallon circular drinking cooler and the other one is...

I just started using ibrewsmith and was curious about how to make cider recipes. I am currently using the iPad version and really like it so far. It allows you to add apples, but it does not change the srm or estimated og/fg. Any help would be great!

I have made this beer probably three or four times and I really enjoy it. I thought I would share it with others just to get some feedback! Recipe: 3# Liquid Malt Extract 3# US 2 Row 7 oz. Honey Malt 1.5# Tupelo Honey sometimes 1# Flaked Corn 1 oz. Mittlefruh 4.8% WLP001 California Ale Yeast...

I have been doing a lot of research on which is better, and there is no consensus. While I have read the "we no need no stinkin beer gun" thread, my birthday is in a couple of days and my fiancée is getting me one. So, I know using the cp filler is a little more complicated than the "point and...

I have been brewing for 2 years now doing partial mash batches, but I want to start brewing using the all grain method. I have seen brewers on this site with amazing all grain systems that can recycle water and set temperatures. I would like to one day have a rig that can do all these things...

I'm new to the whole wine making deal and am more or less inquiring. I want to have a finished wine by Christmas 2011, so I feel like time is of the essence. My LHBS only includes wine kits from cellar craft and wine expert. I have been looking online on other brewing websites such as midwest...

So, I have made 3 or so batches of apple honey cider but for this Christmas i was thinking about changing up the recipe to make it more holiday-esque. What are some good ideas? I was thinking about adding cinnamon and allspice and some crystal (not meth). Maybe some honey grain or vanilla...

I tried an Orange Blossom Cream Ale at a local bar the other day and I wanted to replicate it. This is a partial grain. Here is my recipe: Ingredients: 3 pounds of 2-Row Malt .5 pounds of C-vienne Castle .25 pounds of Honey Malt 1 pound of flaked Maize Light liquid malt extract 1...

I wanted to share with everyone the great success I had making my first Cider. I just kegged it today and tried some, and it exceeded my expectations; it was crisp, light, and apple-e. The best part is that its all organic! Recipe: 5 gallons of Greenwise Apple Juice (They come in 2 qt bottles)...

Hey. I am new to cider making and am ready to make one for the holidays. I have already purchased 5 gallons of Apple Juice (Greenwise) and about 5-6 pounds of sugar. My LHBS recommended Liquid California Ale Yeast and said to aim for an OG of about 1.085 and an FG somewhere in the teens. He...

Hello. This is my second or so post on HBT. This website is awesome and has provided me with a lot of information on everything brewing. I am a poor college student and have recently been in search of a refrigerator/mini-fridge to convert into a kegerator. At first, my approach was looking for a...
