I'm awake ;) Ummm, heh, to be honest I don't remember exactly how it turned out and unfortunately lost my notebook. However, I've yet to not enjoy a stout we've made or have friends turn their nose up at it. Sorry I can't be more help. I'd probably suggest creating a new thread and...

I checked everything, and no leaks. We have the same 1000 gallon increments, as well. I'm assuming the hope water temp was just high and we had to use double or triple. At least we still captured a lot of it and used it on the garden. This is just a good excuse for another DIY. We're gunna...

So, we haven't had much time to brew the past couple of months, but managed to brew twice last month. Just got the water bill. Ouch! We only brewed two 5-gallon batches, and put the chill water to good use on the vegetable and flower gardens, but still... the bill was double what we're use to...

I just walked into the Air Gas and traded my tank without any issues.

We've only been in Charleston since January, but we have three year old Willamette, Kent and Cascade plants that are doing ok right now. Hops tend to not like the heat as much, but ya never know. Keep in mind wherever you plant them, their roots like to grow out more than down. So, don't...

Wyeast advises that Smack Packs have a 6 month "shelf life" for optimum quality. It may still work, but you may want to get a second pack just in case.

Whatcha makin'? We didn't get the 411 soon enough to register. Sigh.

So, I know it's only Monday, but the first Saturday of May (the 4th) is fast approaching... and that means observance of National Homebrew Day (technically it's the 7th)!!! So, what's everyone brewing? Where'd you get your ingredients? Are you making it a bigger thing with friends or just...

It ended up being only $15 bucks... the guy I spoke to who quoted me the 30$ thought I was going for the big guy tank.

Good to know! Thanks!

FYI - I found Airgas in North Charlesston. $30.47 (after tax) for a 5lb tank refill.

Anyone in Charleston have a good suggestion of where we can get our CO2 tank filled or replaced? Airgas in N.CHS and Alcam Inc in MP are all I see in the area, but wanna know who brewers prefer. Cheers!

You just moved to CHS from NYC? So did we, in January. Where abouts were you? One thing to know - the places around here that sell grains, don't mill them for you. Sooo... either order them milled, or be prepared to invest in a mill for yourself. PS - I miss Brooklyn Homebrew. :(

Oh great, thanks. (I didn't wanna bug ya about the dead link! :o )We're definitely interested, and will show up!

Thanks, JMP. The FB link didn't work. Be we'll keep our eyes out.

...is there one? A community of homebrewers, I mean. I found the Lowcountry Libations Homebrew Club in a google search, but that site hasn't been updated since 2010. So, who around here brews? We just moved down here and looking to meet new people of the homebrewing persuasion. Cheers! A

Hi there. I've read many posts regarding when to add the Lactose, but still am not getting an answer to the questions I have. So, here we are... I made the below clone of a Young's Double Chocolate Stout. The first time I made this, I added the lactose at the start of the boil. It didn't come...

Hi there. I'm in the process of brewing your converted partial right now (quite excited!), and just realized a stupid: I forgot to buy the milk sugar! I'm not seeing (not experienced in using it) when to use it, I'm hoping I'm figuring correctly that you use it in the 2ndary, since it's listed...

Thanks for chiming in. Gimme a few weeks, and I'll let you know how it went!

Hi there. Been a while since I brewed and scratched my head at the same time, but here I am trying something a lil new. I'm making a Community Coffee Chicory Stout. Now, I've done this before, and it turned out great. My first go'round, I used about 12 oz. of grains in the steeping stage. This...
