    I have been doing extract kits following the recipe word for word. I recently added a 10 gallon pot and would like to boil a full 5 gallon extact kit. I read somewhere here that adjustments should be made for the amount of hops when boiling a larger amount of wort. Where would I find...

    Free Agency Ruins Sabres

    I need to change the avatar. Sabres admit they blew it on drury and briere. Then during the press conference talking about drury give numbers that the other 6 free agents hear? Now they wonder why they can't sign the rest of the team. Way to go boys. Good think I have a Miller...

    will a freezer work for lagering?

    I have a temperature controller which will keep the temps wherever I want. Will a freezer keep kegs, lagering carboys, yeast containers above freezing. This seems a silly thought, but is there some disadvantage to using this set up? Many have extra refridgerators i'm sure. Wouldn't the...

    Pruning/Training Hop Vine

    I have new rhizomes in the ground and most of them have put out many side shoots. My instinct says to let as much grow as possible to get good energy production with more leaves. I believe somewhere here I read that all but a single runner should be pruned out. Anyone have any input?

    Do they like the beer or not?

    Here's the dilemma. I make the beer. It takes time and I love DOING it. When I offer the stuff they drink it, and like it. Then they tell me .."well, you work so hard on it, we don't want to drink it all up..." :confused: My beer tastes good, is good. My brother in law who drinks...

    Video of a day of brewing

    I just found this video on you tube. It shows a guy making an all grain brew. I would like suggestions on how to make his process better. His procedure looks pretty simple and well thought out to an AG newbie. It is about 10 minutes long to watch.
