Shalom, Where do you buy malt and hops in Israel?

now i have to buy a carboy.

Sure, by back tracking. If you can determine the amount of sugar and subsequently alcohol is in beer you can determine the amount of CO2. The formula of fermentation is C6H12O6 → 2 C2H5OH + 2 CO2. C6H12O6 is sugar, C2H5OH is ethanol, and CO2 is well CO2. So you know that for every two...

So I brewed it and submitted it to the HomeBrew Alley competition in nyc. The beer had amazing aroma, but the malt dried up to much because of the Belgian Strong yeast. If I would brew this again i would use a regular Belgian Yeast. It also got dry hopped for two weeks instead of one which...

Welcome to the BK. Make sure to stop by our local breweries: Brooklyn Brewery, Keslo, Sixpoint, and across the river Chelsea brewery.

great design. maybe place the pump level with the carboy to get increased pressure.

I dont know your situation, but why not just add an elbow?? The link contains a BobbyM video where he demonstrates this.

I was reading about that system. After evaluating the client the manufacturer gives the hardware away for free and only charges for the cups. It only financially feasible for high volume scenarios (sports arenas). Even if you can pour 40-50 pints in a minute, can 40-50 people pay in a minute??

How about a stainless steel hydrometer with the scale laser etched on the side? It would be virtually unbreakable. True the etchings could harbor growth, but that is why you never put a hydrometer back into your beer.

I have heard of using a balloon with a hole in it as an airlock. CO2 is only able to escape when the pressure builds up.

There is one one in queens, but I do not recommend it. It is in a hydroponics store and all they have is one small corner devoted to brewing. The workers were rude and they lack a lot of supplies. Go to Brooklyn Homebrew http://www.brooklyn-homebrew.com/Brooklyn_Homebrew/Home.html. They are...

Im trying to lay my hands on a bottle, how did you get a case?

Could you move your hand over it is blocking the car.

After one extract i switched to all grain. To me brewing with extract feels like making dunkin heinz brownies from a mix, just add and stir. i did not feel in control of my brewing and my beer.

as long as the wort will be boiled in the end sanitation is not a problem. I have seen people recirculate boiling wort through their system in order to sanitize the pipes

http://homebrewery.com/ will ship USPS (think stamps compared to paying $7 for Fedex). they are great for ordering small odds and ends.

where is all the red??

damn that sucks. How long did you wait outside until you realized nothing was happening?

im going to go out at 1:32 est time to see the start of the umbral shadow. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/December_2010_lunar_eclipse wiki has lots of info on the eclipse.

get at least a double regulator. This way you can have some beers carbing while others are at serving temp.
