I am building a bar at home and would like to mount a 5 Faucet T Tower into the rear bar top. My plan is to put the chest freezer on the other side of the wall, drill a hole through the wall and then run the lines from the freezer, through the wall, to the tower. My question is this: Since...

I will be venturing to New Orleans early next month. It is pretty easy to ascertain what are the gourmet and classic restaurants. But I want the nitty gritty! Any locals or frequent visitors care to share?

I like it.

So I am planning to brew 5 gallons of 12% Imperial Stout. I plan to split the batch for secondary fermentation/conditioning and go with oak cubes/bourbon in one and oak cubes/rye whiskey in the other. Unfortunately, I do not have 3 gallon carboys. So should I: 1. Split the batches and...

I am brewing a Goose Island Bourbon County Stout clone. I need to raise my 5 gallons from an ABV 11.5% to 13%. Anyone know how I calculate how much bourbon this will take? Thanks.

So I am planning on brewing a Bourbon County Stout Clone with an O.G. of 1.120. I have done a lot of reading and realize that my efficiency will be terrible but to recoup some of that wasted sugar it is best to partigyle and brew another beer. So now I am planning on doing a Russian Imperial...

I am planning on brewing Jamil's Evil Twin recipe but I am having a little Amarillo Pineapple fatigue so wanted to make some hops substitution. I am thinking 0.5 oz Centennial 20 mins 0.25 oz Williamette 20 mins 0.25 oz Simcoe 20 mins 1 oz Centennial 10 mins 0.5 oz Williamette 10 mins...

What are the differences in color and head using the above ingredients in small amounts, like 1-2 oz?

So I know everyone recommends to dry hop in a secondary with the reason being that the excess yeast in the primary may bind and sequester hop oils. Has anyone done both (dry hop in primary and secondary) and noticed any real differences? I am lazy so simply dry hop in the primary but am...

So I am getting palate fatigue from the citrus/grapefruit/fruity/pineapple/mango hops such as Cascade, Amarillo, Citra, and so on. I am starting to seek out beers with grassy and dank hops. While I think very highly of the New Belgium mission and eco-friendly approach to brewing, I do not think...

Can setting your mill's gap setting too small reduce your efficiency? i.e. is there a sweet spot of a mill beyond which you lose points?

Preference? Also, have you used both?

I am planning to brew an Ommegang Abbey Ale clone so I listened to the archived Sunday Session from thebrewingnetwork.com with Randy Thiel, former brewmaster at Ommegang. He said they use 5 spices for the Abbey Ale: Sweet Orange Peel, Licorice Root, Star Anise, Cumin, and Coriander. For a 6...

So I have had a barley crusher for about a year and for some reason of late it takes me forever to crush my grist for a 5 gallon batch. Every 10 seconds or so it is like the wheels are turning but nothing is crushing. So I have to reverse how I turn the arms to get some grain falling thru and...
