Brewed a 4-hour-boil Old Ale this past summer that hit 10.3%. I crashed her out pretty good before bottling. Let them sit for 5 months and only had the slightest gas relief (:confused:) sound when opening a bottle. Just enough co2 to prevent oxidation, but not enough to carb. Opened all the...

Wondering If I can rig a distributor to have two different PSI's on two different kegs or are 2 regulators required?

Going to a hop farm this weekend to help with a harvest. Going to end up a big bag of fresh Chinook hops that I plan to brew the same day. Here's what I'm thinking. (Note. I'll be using 5X the hop amounts to account for wet hops) I've also got an all Summit IPA that I brewed with dregs...

I've got a yeast cake that's been sitting in the fermenter for about 2 weeks at room temp. I originally planned on washing the yeast, so it has a half gallon of sterilized water sitting on top. Brewing another batch of the same beer (Gose) today and was wondering if anyone has pitched on...

On probably the 4th generation for this yeast, and for some reason this batch came out tasting like a belgian. First 2 batches we're slightly hoppy wheat beers followed by a blood orange wheat. This last rendition was 1\3 wheat recipe and 2\3 red ipa with orange, blackberry and raspberry. I...

I know there is a 250 page thread on yeast washing, but I can't seem to find a clear answer to these questions: After yeast washing, i get between 20 - 40ml of very clean yeast. When calculating my re-pitch rate with Mr Malty Is the entire volume of the mason jar considered in the...

I have the opportunity to buy a double tap glycol cooled beer tower, however I don't have nor need the glycol setup. Will it function like a normal draft tower?

I've never brewed with Brett, but I'd like to try 2 different beers with it: - 100% Brett IPA - Brett & Sac Blood Orange Wheat I want to the Brett IPA to be quick, while I want the wheat to age and hopefully sour up a bit for summer. How does this process sound? Primary Brett IPA...

I've seen a ton of discussion around using 5 gallon water jugs as fermenters. That's not my plan. I was wondering if anyone has used 1 gallon plastic water jugs from the grocery store as a short secondary fermenter? Only 5 - 10 days of secondary. Has anyone done this? What size...

Yep. The 100000th person to post a mash tun build, but I figured I'd make it easy for people who need a very detailed Home Depot shopping list. This was built with a Coleman 48-Quart (12 gallon) Cooler. Total Cost: $65.64 Build Instructions Detailed Parts List with Image of Receipt

I have been searching around and cannot find any notes of Sixpoint's Global Warmer. I'd love to brew a hoppy red ale, and this one is one of my favorites. Anyone know of any recipes, or a recipe of something similar?

Making cereal/granola from spent grain. Need some LME. I only have DME laying around. Can I just add some hot water to the DME? Seems like that should work right?

Brewed up a batch yesterday. Took some of the spent grains, put them in a thin layer on some baking sheets and slid them into the oven on low to dry them out over night. I woke up and they were still slightly damp and had slight sour smell to them. Has anyone experienced this before? I'm...

I'm brewing this literally right now. I just threw it together out of thin air. Even though there is no turning back...Thoughts? 7.5# Light DEM (3 at start, 4.5 at flameout) 12 oz Victory 12 oz Crystal 60l 6 oz de-bittered black 6 oz chocolate (cold steeped for 24 hours. Adding at 2 min mark) 1...

I have just jumped from doing Extract for the past 2 years or so, to partial mash recipes. I brewed a Budget Pale from Austin HomeBrew Supply. I was able to keep my mash pretty close to 155 for 45 minutes. Sparged with 2 qts. at 170. Did all the rest as a normal extract. OG was supposed to...

About 6 months ago I brewed a Schneider Weiss clone with the following recipe: 8oz Munich 3oz Caramunich 2oz Acid 6# Wheat DME 1oz Tetnang Wyeast Bavarian Wheat 3056 It turned out incredible and tasting very close to the real thing. Recently had a few pumpkin wheat beers that I...

Who would be interested in an iPhone/iPad app dedicated to brewing? I've got some good ideas around recipe trade, homebrew swap, calculators and what not. Who would be interested and what ideas do you have for great functionality and user interface? I've got the resources to create, just...
