Guys, I have a bunch of bottles, 99% of the labels have been stripped off and they are clean. I moved and they are wrapped in paper and boxed up. Looking for a new home or they will be recycled. I moved on to kegging beer and even if I bottle the occasional batch I have no need for this many...

Ok, I recently got my water report. I am interested in crafting my water chemistry towards IPAs, pale ales, and Cali commons, but I will admit I am out of my league when I read some of these threads, ok, most of them!!!! Can someone point me in the right direction so I can start easy and slow...

Has anyone tried Columbus and citra together in an IPA? I was thinking something like: 1 oz Columbus @60 1 oz Columbus @15 1 oz citra @ 15 1 oz Columbus @1 1 oz citra @ 1 I could also bitter with magnum. I will be brewing an extract, steeping crystal 40. Any input would be great!!!

I want to start looking for a chest freezer for use as a fermentation chamber. I have a temp controller to hook it up to, but I was wanting to ask the experts how big of a freezer do I need to get 2 better bottles in there? Thanks in advance!!!

Hey guys, I purchased an IPA extract kit from AHS and am worried about the directions a little and wanted to get your take. I am going to be doing a full boil 6 gallons down to 5. The directions are for a partial boil, 3 gallons topped off to 5.25 gallons. the recipe is as follows. 8lbs...

I am super pumped, I entered 2 of my beers in my first contest today!!!!! I entered a Blonde Ale and an ESB. I can't wait to get some feedback on them. Wish me luck!!!!!!!

I just brewed an all columbus IPA, smells great!!!! It is my first time brewing with columbus. I plan on dry hopping and wanted some advise. I have a ton of cascade and even some citra. Would either of those, or a combo of them go good with the columbus? Thanks!!

I can't get my wort cooler than 80 degrees and I have a pre-chiller on my IC. I hate this heat dome......who is with me?!!!!!!!!! Piss on you heat dome!!!!!!!!! I brewed an ESB anyway........waiting to pitch the yeast right now, but it is what it is, I gotta brew when I can, so I will...

Anyone ever brewed this? It was given to me and I am not 100% sure what to do with it. Per the directions it looks like a no-boil type of a brew that is already pre-hopped and everything. Any feedback would be great. Not sure if I want to waste my time with this or not. Thanks in advance.

Has anyone used these? They are pry off bottles, so they should work, but I have not heard of anyone using them. I wasn't sure if the glass is thinner than most bottle like sam adams and SN. Anyone?

A buddy owed me a cold beer or two....went over to his place and brought him one of my latest IPAs to get his thoughts. The only beers he has in the house are Coors Lights.......uhhhhhhh. OK, I have a couple and play some wii tiger woods golf and have a good time. Once I get home I pour...

Just kegged/bottled my first american wheat and followed that up by bottling my first Cali Common. All while I was drinking my first solo recipe IPA. Oh yes, my friend, big day indeed!!!!!! Prost!!!!!!

Just wanted to see if anyone knew anything about the thermo in the below link. I want to add one to my kettle since I have a place for one, but I definately don't want to buy crap. If anyone has an opinion about this one please chime in!!!! Thanks...

I need some expert advise. I have been tracking a SN Torpedo recipe on the extract forum. It was done with a 3 gal. boil. I want to do a full 6 gal. boil to end up with a 5 gal. batch. This will be my first non-kit recipe and I have never really messed with any recipe calculators. This is...

Hey guys, this is the first time I had a huge blow off form fermentation. The picture is a stout I brewed. I used Wyeast Irish Ale Yeast and it went nuts. My question is this. Now that it has been about a week and a half and fermentation has slowed do I need to change the blow off line...

i am sure this has been asked, but i couldn't find much. I don't have lagering capabilities, so what is your thought about brewing an Octoberfest type of beer with the San Francisco Lager yeast? It should maintain lager characteristics, but at close to ale type of temperatures. Good idea...

I see some little brown dots on the back side of some leafs. I also see some small spider webs. Spider mites? I can post pics tomorrow if needed. thanks.

I have seen this a few times surfing the boards. Does running the beer lines through the copper tubing really keep the beer colder in the tower? I am about the at a second faucet to my tower and could take care of this at the same time. Thanks!!!

After my last brew day I was having trouble getting the bung to stay in my Better Bottle. It wanted to keep sliding out with the star san on it. Well, I guess I pushed a little too hard and it is stuck in the top of the better bottle. It was sealed up nice and tight (obviously) so I feft it...

Anyone tried this? It is really different for a pale ale, but really good. Does anyone know where to start to come up with a clone? thanks!!!!
