Thought I should post a link to this! Tons of stuff for cheap! http://sandiego.craigslist.org/esd/gms/1459542902.html

Hey everybody! I need some help...I want to build my brother a kegerator for X-Mas and put a keg of Hoegaarden in there. Apparently import kegs are 13.2 gallons....is that gonna be a problem? I have never made a kegerator before and I don't want to build a keezer (already saw that awesome...

I know there is a term used to describe getting most of the IBUs in an IPA from late hop additions (primarily flavor/aroma). I believe this is a technique AleSmith uses for their IPA. Anyway...how should the IBUs be distributed? I know it takes way more hops to achieve an acceptable level of...

I want to make a Belgian Pale...but I have some homegrown grapefruit that will be ripe soon and thought it might go well in a pale, dry belgian. How do I add fruit to this and how much? In the boil, primary, or secondary? How much so that I get some sweet bitterness but not a 'fruit beer'...

I absolutely love the 90 minute ipa and want to brew up the clone but I know it is a step mash from 122 to 149 or something like that. Is this necessary or can I do a single infusion? Thanks!

I recently bought a ss .5 micron air stone which is connected to a disposable oxygen cylinder and tested it out in some room temp water. I only noticed some bubbles coming from one area of the stone (the side closest to the hose). I expected to see hundreds of tiny bubbles...Is this normal or...

I just sat down to see if my starter was done fermenting and I noticed little 'things' jumping up from the bottom to about mid-way up my 2L Erlenmeyer flask. Is this normal?? I've never seen this but I was using a 1L flask before.

In the newest issue of Zymurgy, Vinnie Cilurzo of Russian River recommends that you purge all bottles/secondary with CO2 because IPAs oxidize very quickly. He stresses this point strongly. What is the best way to do this? I don't keg my beer and from the reading I've done...the beer gun and...

I brewed an IPA with 90% of the hops added late in the boil. So there are two names that I am kicking around... 1) Fashionably Late 2) Bitter Late Than Never Help me pick between these two names! Thanks. :mug:

I want to do something different and have decided that something with a base of Hoegaarden but hopped like an Alesmith IPA or Lagunitas IPA. Here is what I have so far: 4# Belgian 2-row 3# Belgian Wheat Malt 2# Belgian Flaked Wheat .5# Belgian Aromatic .25# Flaked Oats .5oz Simcoe...

I want to start planning my 09/09/09 beer and I thought the banana produced by the bavarian hefeweizen yeast strains might go well with the grapefruit flavors produced by certain hops. I'm very new at writing recipes and would love the input for this seemingly ridiculous idea. Banana and...

I just brewed a weihenstephaner hef clone but wanted some extra banana out of it so I used white labs 300...pitched at about 72 and tried to keep it at about 70F. Unfortunately...I wasn't home one day and it got up to 74F on day 2 or 3. I just tasted it after taking a reading (1.011) and it...

In Escondido, CA Tomme Arthur will be at Holiday Wine Cellar this Saturday from 5:00-7:00. He will be pouring 10-12 Lost Abbey beers including some of the more rare ones like Cuvee de Tomme, Angel's Share, etc. This is the expensive stuff that I just can't allow myself to buy for...

Just checked Stone's draft beer menu for today...13 of the 21 non-Stone beers on tap are IPAs including: -Avery's Maharaja -Bear Republic Racer X -RR Pliny The Elder -Moylan's Hopsickle -Lagunitas Sumpin Sumpin -and tons of others.... One of those moments when you realize how lucky...

I brewed up a stout 10 days ago and it has finished fermenting with a final gravity of 1.009. Should I let it sit in primary for more time or can I just go ahead and bottle? Will the age do it some good or am I just wasting my time (and fermentation space)?

I just had this beer and it is the first hef that I REALLY like. Does anybody have an AG clone recipe of this? If not...I want to make something like it that has that banana flavor! :ban:

I just opened a 11.2 oz bottle of a Westmalle Tripel after having it sit upright in my fridge for a few days. Immediately after opening the bottle, it started pouring foam out of the top. After having paid about $5...I'm a little unhappy. Has this ever happened to anybody else? :mad:

What do you guys use to monitor the temperature inside a plastic rubbermaid MLT. I would like to remotely check the temp so I don't have to take off the top. Thanks. :mug:

Okay...I've read it in these forums before...be aggressive with a saison. So my saison is rip roaring away in the 90s. I ended up using a Saison/Belgian Ale Blend from White Labs (568). Should I keep it this high or is it too high? Thanks!!! :rockin:
