That my man ,is an awesome idea ! no power supply needed and can take the heat.

Hi all, I have a 3 keg brewery and have been wanting to have a motorized stir paddle for the mash tun . I have now come up with a right angle drive dc motor so all I need is to find the correct power supply (that means cheap ). When I direct fire the mash to raise temps it is of course much...

I put 5lbs into 7 gallons and wish I had used 10 lbs, great color but cant really taste the blackberries

this is year two for these plants but I remain hopeful for next year.

I have 5 varieties of hops in my garden . Three of them produce well (nugget , golding , cascade ) the other two not at all. The tettnanger and the hallertauer only start to take off after the rest have started putting on cones , then it seems too late in the season to ripen the few cones...

I started this same project a year ago. I got 2 -15 1/2 gallon kegs and 2- 7 3/4 gallon kegs from a local brewery that was updating their kegs. These kegs are the style that has the bung on the side and also the sanke tap on top. I made a rack that holds the large kegs on the bottom and the...

My wife and I just returned from Bend Oregon. They have a chamber of commerce promo that is called the ale trail. It consist of 13 breweries in a city of 80,000. One is a large craft brewer (Deschutes) the rest are small ( 5-7 barrel) operations, most serve a pub menu and most seem to making a...

so do you guys think that a normal sacc beer would not benefit from extended ageing? I just thought that a solera with different brews going in every so often would be a cool project as it is always changing the mix. I could be all f@#^ UP in this idea though. thanks for the input.

I live next to a lot of wineries and thought of getting a freshly dumped white wine barrel,brew and ferment out(not all the way, just 90 percent) 60 gallons of amber, age in barrel for a year, rob 10-15 gallons to bottle or put...

always thought those few ounces were the taster!!

I love Orval(?) Saison from a partnership with sierra nevada, had on tap at sierra nevada and also in bottle, both awesome. Have one in the fermenter now ready to bottle, hope it is 1/2 as good.
