Hey all, its been a while since I've posted here. Brewing kind of fell off the priority list for a couple years - Ive brewed but not with the obsession I previously had. Anyway, after spending way too much money on commercial beer my wife and I are ready to get back into the swing of things -...

Reposting from Pittsburgh craiglist. Willing to ship at buyers cost (kegs/other heavy items probably don't make sense) http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/for/5179534901.html I'm downsizing my brewery and getting rid of some stuff that doesn't get used here. Have everything priced...

This is from Bells Oberon dregs, 8 bottles worth. Starter was approximately 800 ml at 1.020. Wort finished bone dry, around 1.005. No stir plate, only the ‘shake when you walk past’ method. I’m trying to get an idea of how much yeast is in here so I can plug it into a starter calculator...

Just picked up case of Oberon at my local distributor... it's become a ritual of mine to buy a case of what i consider one of the best spring/early summer beers, drink a few, harvest the yeast, and then brew up a clone. I'll typically reuse the yeast on a couple additional brews (pale ale, IPA...

Title says most of it. Brewing 10 gallons of 1.060 Amber ale. Realized this morning all I have is one pack of us-05. Nothing in fermenters to wash from. Can't get yeast today, itll have to wait till Tuesday at the earliest. What would you do? Split the packet, properly rehydrate, and...

Hey all trying to decide what to use for dry hops in a 10 gal dirt wolffish clone I brewed this past weekend. Attached is a screenshot of my boil hop additions. Also had an oz of chinook at 60 min. The recipe I used to get here said to go with 4 oz of citra, but I'm thinking of trying a combo...

Just got this deep freezer on Craigslist for 75 bucks, it's a whirlpool 9 cf. preliminarily looks like il be able to fit 5 cornies on floor and maybe one on hump. What I want to do is build something like I've seen on here with a separate chamber for fermenting that is air cooled with...

So I got a little happy at the grain mill and ended up with a whole lb of acid malt in a session ipa... Did I screw it up royally? Attached is recipe

I recently moved from a house with 4 wire (Hot, Hot, Neutral, Ground) 240v to a house that has 3 wire (Hot, Hot, Neutral) 220V electric outlet. So I needed to rewire my SPA Panel and get a matching Power Cord for the new outlet. I rewired according to PJ’s diagram for 3 to 4 wire...

Hey all, Im going to be closing on a new house at the end of Sept and one of the first priorities (for me, maybe not so much SWMBO) is setting up the brewery. So I've been messing around with Google Sketchup trying to come up with a good layout. Would appreciate any input and ideas, I am kind...

What do you all think? Most hops I've ever put in a beer I think, close to a pound per 5 gallons... Splitting the batch between US-04 and US-05. Two packs a piece. BeerSmith 2 Recipe Printout - http://www.beersmith.com Recipe: Nugget Nectar 2014 Brewer: Asst Brewer: Style: American...

This Saturday morning I brewed up 10 gallons of a Two Hearted Ale clone. I had intentions of splitting the batch between US05 and WLP029, but my wife brought home a case of Oberon around lunchtime. So I got the brilliant idea to harvest the yeast from the dregs of the bottles. I’ve done...

Except at ball parks, why?

So I’ve recently made a decision to try to stop drinking during the week. Its more for weight loss than anything, but having a 3 week old baby at the house has its effects. Im probably averaging 1-2 pints a night on week nights, 3-4 on Fridays and Saturdays, and 2 on Sundays. Those...

So the control panel went bad on our 14 yr old gas range. Replacement of the panel alone would cost $450 not including labor so the wife and I have decided its time to just buck up and get a new range. Instead of trying to scrap or sell it were just having HD take it off our hands when the...
