    FREE SHIPPING from Nor Cal Brewing Solutions

    Hey! Code please :) Was just about to hit checkout on a sparge assembly and thought I'd check to see if there were any promo codes floating around. Good thing I checked! Will you be discounting the sparge assemblies as well?

    beer went from clear to cloudy in primaty

    Going with that limited info, you either sloshed it on the way upstairs or (depending on how far along you are) your yeast is starting to kick into high gear in which case you should see a lot of activity. If it's after fermentation then you sloshed it. Wait a day or so and it will settle. Try...

    Maggots

    Could have been worse... You could have bottle, not noticed, and invited friends over for the inaugural bottle... Besides the off flavors, you managed to create a beer with plenty of protein. :cross:

    Shipping and Temperature Questions

    I acknowledge the risk. Unless there is another way to send the beer, I don't have much of a choice. Does anybody who has shipped beer have any preferences on the carrier?

    Shipping and Temperature Questions

    I have beer that just finished conditioning that I put in the fridge a couple days ago. I want to send some to some family up north. The question: Does beer lose anything in going from fridge temps to room temperature? Is it noticeable? How much is too much in a shift of temperature? Should...

    Small scale brewing (<5 Gallons)

    Considering I don't have much fridge room and I enjoy brewing and want to do it more often, I end up having too much beer and not enough fridge space. Besides that, I'm not a heavy drinker and the stuff really is unhealthy if you're trying to keep fit. So the solution, other then getting a...

    Small scale brewing (<5 Gallons)

    That's fine by me. I still have the capability to scale up to 5 Gallons if I really liked something. Thanks for the info!

    Small scale brewing (<5 Gallons)

    I always do partial boils, however my stove size limits me to around 2 gallons and I'm not a fan of doing partial boils of that size. 5 Gallons is too much and since my family is not relatively close it's hard to give the stuff away. Since I have limited space in my apartment it gets to the...

    Small scale brewing (<5 Gallons)

    That's awesome! I really like the seamless integration of every process. However, that's a bit beyond what I am looking for at the moment both cost wise and complexity. I'm thinking more of 1 gallon glass jars using mostly extract techniques.

    Small scale brewing (<5 Gallons)

    I was wondering whether it was harder or easier to replicate a certain batch since you are dealing with a significantly smaller amount of product. My reasoning has me believe that if you increase the volume, smaller things like using too much of ingredient A will have less of an effect on larger...

    Small scale brewing (<5 Gallons)

    I live in a relatively small apartment and brewing 5 gallons at a time is difficult on my small stove. I also find it difficult to consume 5 gallons in a short amount of time without the consequences. So I'm leaning towards smaller batch sizes, typically less than 3 gallons, preferably 1 gallon...
