I've converted a fridge into a 4 tap kegerator and love it. Never did a ton of research into keezers but always thought they were pretty cool. A friend of mine asked me to help him build one and I've been working on the design and doing research and have a couple of questions I was hoping some...

Checking out CNN and saw this...they are using yeast from the brewmasters beard! This is just awesomeness. http://www.cnn.com/video/?hpt=hp_t2#/video/us/2012/09/26/pkg-beard-beer-kptv.cnn

I moved to NM from Dallas a little over a year and a half ago and was disappointed that I could not find anyone to brew with. My four tap kegerator was always full and I always had another brew ready to replace the ones going out. After a year of brewing alone, I decided to be proactive and...

I brew regularly...usually twice a month, 10 gallon AG batches. I recently brewed a 5 gallon batch of amber...hit all of my temps, OG was right on, FG was right on. Had a sample as I was kegging...tasted great. Carbed the beer and it tastes HORRIBLE (been in the keg a month and a half now). it's...

Just finished my 4th AG batch that was not BIAB and have done close to 100 partial and extract batches. I don't always do starters...but let the estimated OG determine whether or not I do one. Interestingly...I had never had a blowoff until I started doing AG batches. All four of my last brews...

I've been trying to get my wife to brew with me for three years now...she finally did and seems to really love it! Her first batch was a strawberry honey wheat partial...racked into secondary tonight. Here she is...very proud of what she has created.

I've done 8-10 AG batches now (some BIAB and others on a buddies 3 tier) and I'm working on putting mine together. I would love some thoughts/criticism on my two-tier design (pictured below) and second I wanted some thoughts on the process I'm looking at doing with this set-up, which is...

Just curious if any of you have brewed on one of these and what the pros/cons have been. The price looks good and I'm interested. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00264G584/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

I'm in the early stages of putting together a home brewing club in Southeastern New Mexico. I've been here for a year now and really miss the camaraderie of other brewers. I'm looking for two things: Advice (best practices, must dos, mustn't dos, ect). I've started at the AHA website...

We moved unexpectedly due to some family issues 6 months ago. I had ingredients that I moved with us for a couple of batches and upon moving in and settling a little bit I decided to brew. I brewed an Irish Red in March and placed it in primary. Well, life got busy/complicated and I either...

We relocated to South Eastern NM (Hobbs) from Dallas, TX about 6 months ago. I left a lot of good brew buddies when we moved and would love to find some new ones here. Let me know if you're in the area!

I brewed an AHS Ranger IPA clone last week and retained the necessary hops for dry hopping. Fast forward to a little over a week later when I am about to dry hop and I realized that I had an extra half ounce of Simicoe that should have been used in my first hop addition during brewing. This was...

I'm brewing an American Wheat this week to enjoy in July and while I have consumed many American Wheat beers and Hefewiezens in my time, when asked what the difference between the two was, I had a hard time answering. I've Googled and read several articles, however most of them tend to focus on...

I brewed a beer a little over 6 weeks ago and then life slammed me around for the next 6 weeks (still is actually). I have not had ANY time to get this beer bottled (or put into mini kegs). While I feel pretty confident that the beer is fine and will still be delicious, in my stead from the...

A good friend of mine gave me 4 5 liter mini kegs and a CO2 tap set up for them. He got the kegs and tap system in Germany a little while back. It's a really cool set-up and I know how to use it, but will this actually carb the beer or does the CO2 in the tapper just act as pressure to push the...

Well, I got a ton of new gear for Christamas AND ingredients for three brews. Days turned into weeks and weeks...well, you get the point. I had three beers that needed to be bottled and life going on, so brewing got pushed for a bit. I was very happy that I FINALLY got to brew again this...

I've bottled several batches with no problem. Every-time I bottle, however it is a real PIA to remove the hose from the bottling wand, spigot and auto-siphon. I bottled a batch with no issue on Friday night until I was cleaning up and I broke my auto siphon trying to remove the hose (sliced my...

As a relatively new brewer I have spent a ton of time on this site as well as with my head in books and going through videos. I obsessively read about and sample beers, I talk about it to anyone who will listen and have spent way too much money on gear and ingredients. I've been happy with my...

I'm a relatively new brewer and love experimenting. I've now done several kits and on my last batch ventured out on my own with a Baltic Porter. It was nice not working within the confines of a kit and fun putting it all together with some help. I've decided to do an American Cream Ale for my...
