Hey guys, are there any places online that still have hop rhizomes available for purchase? edit: ok found some at freshops but they don't have cascade! :(

My LBHS sells empty corny kegs for 60 bucks each, is this a reasonable price? :confused: I always thought they were 20-30ish

So this morning I posted up a "wanted" ad on craiglist for some empty bottles. 2 hours later this guy calls me and says he has a whole brewing kit to give me, along with 4 cases of bottles! Here's what I got for free: 1 5 gal carboy 1 6.5 gal carboy 1 bottling bucket airlock tubes of...

Hi guys, I was just wondering if it was possible to do AG in a 4 gallon pot if somehow I could just reintroduce the wort into the mash to 'concentrate' it?

Hi guys, I'm brewing a partial mash oatmeal stout right now. I've just mashed my grains at 155 and I'm wondering if there is a typo in this recipe about the hops http://hbd.org/cgi-bin/recipator/recipator?group=16&item=6234 It says to use 4 oz of fuggles and 2 oz of Mt hood. Are stouts...

My first all grain batch today was pretty much a disaster. I mashed at 155 for an hour and then sparged. In total, I got about 7 gallons of wort. The problem is, the og reading was 1.035ish so I ended up having to add some dme in there to compensate. My recipe was a simple hefeweizen I saw on...

http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=11694&st=0 It seems like they've gotten pretty good results from this method, but I already bought a cooler and I'm ready to head off to home depot to buy the rest of the materials for my cooler mashtun Any thoughts? :mug:

Hi, I've read the Palmer's guide on how to brew, but it seems like it's so complicated and everything is explained in too much detail. What I'm looking for is just a guide on what equipment is necessary, how to make it or buy it, and a step by step howto on the mashing process. For example...

I've just finished making my first cyser, now it's airlocked.:) I used 5 gallons of Mott's and 6 lbs. of honey and pitched red star champagne yeast. The OG turned out to be 1.086. Is there any thing I should be aware of with regards to making cyser? I've only made ciders so far but I'd imagine...

If after fermentation, the end product is pretty sweet, does it need to be primed before bottling? I had a batch that I bottled without adding sugar and that turned out to be carbonated really nicely, but I don't know if that was just a coincidence. Anyone? Thanks

I've heard that adding too much sugar into your juice can actually stop any yeast activity.. So how much is too much sugar for about 4 gallons of apple juice? Also, at what ABVs do nottingham ale yeast and red star champagne yeast die off? I tried searching but couldn't find any relevant...

Hi I recently made grape (wine?) with 4 gallons of welch's grape juice and red star champagne yeast. I tried to measure using a hydrometer but it doesn't even float right now... what am I doing wrong? Is the density too low to be measured?

Hi, I was wondering how to keep alive a yeast culture, do I just hydrate it and put it in the fridge? thanks

The rubber stopper has fallen into my carboy! Does anyone know how to get it out? Thanks

Hi all, just wanted to let you guys know what a valuable resource this forum has been to me so far. Thanks for all the help and brew on! :mug:

Ok, I've started a 4 gallon batch of grape juice with baker's yeast for 2 days and on the third day I added nottingham dry ale yeast plus about 2 pounds of sugar into the mixture and then I shook it all up. What results do you guys think I will get because honestly I have no idea, thanks.

I've had a 4 gallon batch of apple juice running for about 3 days now but I don't see any foaming at all, what did I do wrong?

Well my nephew has been fascinated with homebrewing and such and decided to buy some brewer's yeast at his local homebrew shop. Unfortunately he is only 19, so he isn't of legal age yet. My question is how he bought it and whether that is legal or not. Thanks
