Man I can't believe it's that much!!!! Onward and upward I guess. Glad I can have faith in my notes.

Amazing!

Back in 2011 I made Jack Keller's peach (2) wine recipe. I've done some online digging, realize his website is down, he's passed away, and I can't find the recipe. My 2011 notes have an error, and I'm not sure where. for 5 gallons: 15lbs peaches 5 lbs bananas 15 lbs sugar Isn't this too...

I’m growing hops in my back yard for shade. They grow up about 10’, then turn 90 degrees and grow parallel to the ground. I’d like them to get as long as possible. How many bines is recommended per plant if this is the goal? They’re 5 year old plants (2nd year in ground, first 3 were in...

I agree, it likely gets cold there. Thanks!

Anyone else have any variety recommendations? I'm afraid the neomexicanus varieties might not fair well in our winter, it get's cold here.

Here's my short story. I live in Reno, Nevada. Our summers are hot (maybe up to 100 during the day, but normally 80's or 90's for a high). The house to the east just recently cut down all their trees. These trees provided a lot of privacy and shade for my yard. That's all gone. I'm...

I'm posting this for a friend.......for real! I've made a fair amount of beer, and if it were me I'd dump it. However my friend is just now getting into brewing, and half of his FIRST BATCH EVER some some reason leaked out of the tap into the bottom of his kegerator. He asked me if he...

I don't think you're snarky. I'm wanting to use some heirloom corns. I can't buy them turned into corn meal, gotta do it myself.

I'm hoping to try an interesting experiment. I'm looking for a lager yeast that: 1. Can handle a high gravity (>10%) 2. Ideally comes in dry form. Does anyone have any recommendations on a yeast like this?

Good to know. Are there any roller mills that can handle corn at any level? Perhaps I can do a really fast pregrind with a roller and then turn it into flour/corn meal with a Corona.

I have a Corona grain mill. I like it, I don't love it. I'm looking to roller mills but also want to be able to make flour and ideally corn meal. With the way I bake if the corn meal was more like flour that would be fine. Does anyone have a recommendation for a roller mill that can make...

I'm new to electric brewing. I have: -a keggle -access to a 220 outlet -gumption -a visiting father-in-law that knows more about electricity than I do Right now it seems like I can order: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KP6LX9Q/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 and this...

A home brewing buddy and myself are attending a wildlife conference in October 15-22 in Winnipeg this year. We understand Winnipeg beer is expensive! In the spirit of saving money, but mainly meeting new homebrewers, we would like to make arrangements/a trade. We could potentially...

Any recommendations on how to recirculate such a thick, sticky mess?

I'm messing around with 75% rye, I don't think BIAB will work.

I don't think that'll work for my situation. I'm stirring a lot and a lot of grain would fall through the bottom.

I'm trying to raise the temp 20 or so degrees on my keggle after initial mashing. I scorch every damn time. Aside from babying the thing the whole time or buying another pot with a thicker bottom, what else can one do?

In at attempt to up my manliness level, I've acquired a 55 gallon stainless steel drum to do boils in. I'm wanting a burner that's up to the job. Recommendations? I'd like to be able to switch it over to run on natural gas.

I did it. Last week. 75% rye, 25% barley. Will let you know how it turned out. I let it cool at room temperature, aerated, and pitched a starter of US-05. Will see how it turns out.
