Wasn't sure where to put this since it's both a discussion on equipment and a beer recipe. I just wanted to share my experience brewing on my stand for the first time. I brewed an apricot IPA yesterday, it was the inaugural brew for my brew stand. All in all things went well. I didn't get my...

I brewed a New Belgium 1554 clone last weekend and used the wyeast 2112 to ferment it (i know a european lager yeast would have been better but i didn't have any readily available) in any case I pitched at around 78 degrees, and fermentation seemed to start off pretty good. I then started to...

I often find it a chore if not impossible to clean the hose I use for racking my beer. I have a beer line cleaner (the brush on a wire) which works ok but it's quite cumbersome and doesn't do a great job. I've been soaking them in sanitizer but that sometimes leaves a milky residue on the hose...

So over the course of a few weeks i have been gathering some equipment to go all grain. But with some extract sitting around i thought it would be a good chance to get used to the new kettles and the larger system, so i went and brewed up a 10 gallon extract batch. As i was brewing i thought...

I'm in the process of upgrading to a 10gallon system and i would like to get an efficient chiller for the larger batch while still using gravity to move the liquids. I've been studying and reading up on the 3 main chiller systems out there. But I also was wondering if anyone has used a jockey...

Looking for 2 kegs to turn into kettles. let me know if anyone has anything. I check craigslist frequently but thought i'd put it out here as well. Please PM me if you have anything. Thanks Thanks!:ban:

I'm starting my keggle project and was wondering how everyone goes about removing the galvanization off their kegs. At first thought it seemed like a huge chore to sand it down. Then I read something about using white vinegar, and then another thing about using muriatic acid. Which is the...

So this is my first lager ever, I brewed it up this past Sunday. It's also the first time I have tried fermenting in a Keg. I ran this thru Beer Alchemy It's a Hoppier Classic Euro-American Pilsner Fermentables 30 Min Steep 0.50 lb - German Munich Malt 0.50 lb - Belgian Biscuit Malt...

I am going to be making an extract wheat brew with some specialty grains and flaked oats and was wondering how much flaked oats I should use. I know it is based upon a percentage of the total fermentables but have no idea how much is too much. Would 20% be too much? Should I aim for like 10% or...

I've done some reading on how everyone controls their keezer temps and see that the johnson a419 and the love are two of the more popular controllers. I think i'd like to get the love controller due to it's easily flush mountable controller. But i jsut want to be sure i am ordering the right...

So I made Ed Wort's Alpfelwein and was just curious if this amount of krausen is normal? I'm not upset about it, it seems to be doing quite well, just wondering what other peoples experiences were.

I know that oak is a typical wood to be used in adding flavor to a beer, Has anyone used other various wood chips? being that the BBQ season is starting up there are a lot of Hickory, Mesquite and other BBQing woods available i was thinking of trying out some Hickory chips, maybe soak them in...

Last night I treated myself to a bomber of Weyerbacher Double Simcoe IPA. It's very carbonated, the cork popped off like a champagne cork and a loud POP! It had a great head with some nice lacing, deep red amber in color, aroma was pleasant and hoppy but didn't linger. It tasted good, couldn't...

How long is wort good before pitching yeast? I was wondering this the other day while brewing up a batch this past weekend. Can you brew up some wort and store if for a day before pitching, or is the time frame a lot narrower?

This weekend I brewed up 2 batches. First was an Imperial Stout.

Thoughts and critique are always welcome!

This is my first SMaSH, I have some Dark LME I wanted to use up so I conjured up this recipe. I'm not sold on the pairing of EKG and the Dark LME, I was also thinking of using Saaz or Palisade. Does anyone else have a fav to go with Dark LME? SMaSH 01 10C-American Ale-American Brown...

How important is it to strain the wort before fermentation and what would not doing so add to the final result? Cloudy beer? Bitter taste? other off flavors? When I brewed my first batch I didn't strain the wort before I poured it into my fermentation vessel. I am drinking the beer now and...
