.25oz came out to be almost 4 tablespoons. Is this right? That just seems like a lot to me.

Found this on another forum and though it interesting.... Before thermometers were invented, brewers would dip a thumb or finger into the mix to find the right temperature for adding yeast. Too cold and the yeast wouldn't grow, too hot and the yeast would die. This thumb in the beer is where...

Getting ready to brew up a sweet stout and I'd like to have it finish with a bit of chocolate flavor. Which type of chocolate would best accomplish this? A piece of a Hershey's bar? Hot coco mix piece of unsweetened baker's chocolate Hershey's powdered baking coca (bitter) Thoughts...

Has anyone noticed a difference in the volume of Krausen when using one type of malt extract as opposed to the other? I'm currently working on my 4th brew, a Kolsch, which is also what my 3rd batch was. 3rd was 100% LME and the 4th had three pounds of DME. There's a pronounced differences in...

I THINK, I'll know for sure in a few minutes, that I shorted myself a gallon of water when I put my wort into primary a week ago. I might be wrong but, it looks a little low and this would explain why my OG was higher than I expected...... So, my question is should I top off the secondary...

Has anyone modified a side by side fridge as such. Use the normal fridge side as a fermenter for carboys, kegs etc..... Then replace the freezer thermostat with another fridge thermostat. Then mount your taps on the outside of the freezer thus making it a kegerator on one side and a...

I'm looking at buying a chest freezer but, I'm not sure what the minimum depth that I would need for a tapped keg. I know the keg itself is 25 inches. How much do the lines stick up above that? :mug:

What would cause the gravity to be that far off? The recipe is a Kolsch. LM Extract & steeping grains. I followed the directions to the letter. 2.5 gallon boil and topped off to exactly 5 gallons in primary. Ran the wort through a kitchen strainer while putting it into primary to remove...

The usual price I see for a 4oz bottle is between $4 and $6. Great deal if you use it. http://www.zatarain.com/products/product.php/55/Root_Beer_Extract :tank:

Does your brew continue to "condition" after you place it into the fridge as opposed to letting it stay in the cool dark closet. :tank:

Anyone ever traveled with some of their bottled brew? I was thinking about taking a 6 pack back home with me for my family to sample but was wondering about the pressures..... Thoughts? :tank:
