I was brewing on sunday on my HERMS rig and I may have started my recirculation too soon or my manifold just sucks because I wasn't getting as good a flow rate as I would have liked. And due to that I'm sure I compacted the grain bed more than I should have. I've made adjustments to my manifold...

For the last year I have been working at a brew pub in town. I started off as a dishwasher but quickly moved into the brewery as a tour guide. As a tour guide I get to work in the brewery when there are no tours to give. So it has been a fun year and I thought I would share some pics and info on...

well since you can't use the word "still" in the search bar I'm having trouble finding any information on this topic. Anyway, I have a a batch of 10% RIS aging at the moment and I don't have a keg set up quite yet so I will be bottling this sucker. It spent a month sitting on primary and then...

I've been using my herms set up now for a couple different batches and I seem to keep having the problem where bubbles get introduced in the line and my flow out of the coil is lacking. so I have my mash tun well above the pump and the coil in my hlt so there are no problems priming the pump...

I'm looking to build a BK for my electric build. I'm having trouble deciding on the drainage of the kettle. I usually use hop pellets and I used to use a hop spider but I grew tired of cleaning and replacing bags so now I've just been throwing them in. Can someone explain my options for...

So before I get to the picturey goodness, I want to throw down some concept for this brewery build. First of all I wanted to go electric because I live in northern MN and it's cold here most of the year. I have recently decided that 5 gallon batches are too big for my consumption habits so I...

so I have a ball valve stuck to a brass nipple. I can't get it off... does anyone have sweet tricks and tips to help me take this nipple off?

So I'm moving here in a couple days and the space is a little bit smaller so I want to condense my system a little bit and go all electric so I can brew inside year round. I have various kettles and coolers from different size batches I make so I have all three vessels for my build. In the...

I'm looking to build a eHerms system but the boil will still be stove top or propane depending on how big of a batch I'm working on. So eHLT with 1500 watt water heater element and HERMS coil built into the HLT lid that will double as an IC. The pump will be recirculating the mash the entire...

I have started to conceptualize my next brew rig. I don't believe I have seen this concept before and I feel it will give me the ease of use and practicality that I am looking for. I want to do a two vessel BIAB eHerms. I have it all planned out for process and equipment but I would like...

So I ordered some specialty grains for a small batch I made and I have some left over. I'm thinking of getting some DME and throwing together a Kitchen sink stout. I was wondering if there is any merit to steeping flaked corn? tentative recipe for 2.25 gallons 3lbs amber DME .4 lbs...

I entered in my first contest because I was looking for some feedback. All three judges stated there was a high degree of Phenolic flavors. So I did a search and these popped up as reasons for that "Yeast strain; chlorophenols in the water; improper rinse of chlorine sanitizers...

I'm thinking about building an incubator for a couple different things. Does anyone know the best temperature to grow both sacc. and brett. at? I'm aware that they grow just fine at room temperature but I know they grow better at higher temps I'm just wondering what the best temp is to grow...

I've got a friend who likes filming things so we made a shortish video about a brew day. The narration doesn't go too in depth because we didn't want it to get too long but we're thinking of doing another one. let me know what you think. If someone could embed this I would appreciate it...

Extract manufacturers should really redesign the packaging of their products. It has always been a pain doing a recipe that calls for less than 1 lb increments of certain extracts. Also with the popularization of doing yeast starters more frequently and only needing a small amount of extract for...

Have companies ever patented their yeast strains? My girlfriend is into the whole food industry and has a strong dislike for Monsanto and their corn patenting practices. Made me think that yeast companies and breweries could do the same thing. Has anyone ever heard of this?

So I'm working on a sour brown right now. I pitched the lacto a couple days before I pitched the yeast. well I got a nice krausen going on at the moment but it made me realize. I am going to let this sit another couple months before I do anything else with it. Is this beer good to sit on a yeast...

I'm normally an AG brewer but with time constraints of final year of college along with cold winters and not wanting to be outside washing out a mash tun I have decided to start using extracts. I figure since I'll be putting a little less effort into brewing I would like to get as much education...
