Ok so I looked up an IPA recipe recently on HBT and decided to order the ingredients from AHS...I do not have my own mill and as such I opted to allow them to millthe grain for me...Also i selected the option to add all grains to a particular grain bill and have it combined in a single bag to...

I Brewed an Extract Oatmeal stout about 3 weeks ago and the Fermentation seems to have stopped right around 1.022 (about 5 days after fermentation started it was at 1.023...now 2 weeks later it remains at 1.022)....the OG was 1.062 and its been at about 68 degrees F throughout fermentation... Is...

Sorry if its a noobish question, but what are the benefits of milling your own grain before you brew as opposed to having the HBS you order from mill your grain for you as you order it??

Just gotta say, brewed a Fat Tire extract clone that is absolutely delicious after 3 weeks and it feels great...I attempted to brew a pilsner (1st brew, didnt know at the time about the difference between lager and ale yeast) and an Altbier that turned out farrr too banana-y...I had a bit of a...

Recently I brewed an Extract Fat Tire clone using tap water (filter on the refridgerator was broken)...after aging about a month Ive started drinking them... Alot of them taste fantastic...but every 3rd or 4th bottle I get a strange "hard water" aftertaste...I can only attribute this to the fact...

For my last 2 brews Ive used the AHS +1 Alcohol Boost and was wondering if anyone else has experience with this. It definitely worked as far as boosting the alcohol goes (my last IPA came out to 7.6%!), but I keep detecting a small offtaste with it. My IPA has been in the bottle for nearly a...

Well? Lets hear it. is the stainless really woth almost 3X more? What are the differences/ pros and cons between the two? Its time to invest in either a 30qt or 40qt brew kettle for all grain brewing and im tryn to pinch pennies hard...any advice is appreciated :mug:

Im making the switch to all grain..I have built myself a mash tun from a Cooler and some brass fittings from home depot. All I need now is a good quality Boil Kettle. Im Considering a Polarware 7.5 gallon Kettle that comes equipped with a Ball valve and a Thermometer from amazon for about 120...

Pretty straight forward question...just wondering what the difference is regarding time needed, quality of beer, etc between the 2 thanks:mug:

So Im thinking that a good way to share my beers with friends of mine without having to explain/worry about the sediment in the bottles would be to simply pour a few bottles (very carefully mind you) into a 1/2 Gallon Growler I have and cap it off very tightly. Then I could simply bring a...

1. What is the shelf life of the beer after it is "beer gunnes" from the keg into bottles? 2. What pressure do you want your co2 set at when "beer-gunning"?? 3. Any opinions one way or the other you guys may have about the beer gun? (ie worth the money/ease of use/ etc) Thanks in...

I want to brew an Oktoberfest/Marzen Kit from Austin Homebrew Supplies but I dont know much about the lagering process and do not have the precise temperature control to really give it a shot. So im wondering If I could simply brew the ingredients in this kit and pitch a pack of Nottingham Ale...

Ive been using Austin Homebrew Kits for my past 3 batches and have spent the extra 4 bucks for the white labs yeast. After some recent research Ive come to realize that liquid yeast may not be necessary. My question is: Do extract Kits come with specific strains of dry yeast if you opt for...

Can anyone speak to the effectiveness of these little babies?? http://www.northernbrewer.com/brewing/brewing-equipment/fermenting-equipment/fermentation-temperature-control/johnson-controls-a419-digital-temp-controller.html Thanks

Hey guys Im in the middle of brewing an IPA kit i got from Austin homebrew and im wondering if it is possible that the small leftover bits from the specialty grain bag could account for a strange off taste in the beer...I have done 2 other kits, both of which had strange off tastes...the other 2...

Ive just opened and tasted my first homebrew.... it was exciting of course and now that I am onto my 2nd one I cant help but be somewhat disappointed..The beer itself is fine but has a somewhat plastic-y finish to it...Is this should is a result of sediment in the beer which gives it a yeasty...

Ive Just about finished up my DIY Cooler to Mash Tun Conversion and Ive ran into an issue... My valve setup is not exactly water tight:(...its a very slow leak (just 8-10 drops per minute)...I think this is because the Rubber plug that came with the cooler is a bit loose around the Brass Nipple...

Whats the big deal about using Copper in your DIY mash tun? Everyone seems to suggest this but I cant figure out why....CPVC is cheaper if Im not mistaken, so what makes copper a better alternative (if indeed it is)
