    Tried searching around a bit, but am having trouble finding information on my question... So, I'd like to brew a barleywine in the next month or so so it's "ready" for fall. But, I don't have a cellar for longer aging. For regular ales that ferment out in a few weeks, I don't have a problem...

    Fermentation Heat Output Video comparison

    Alright - I know it's more or less "common knowledge" to a lot of folks on here, but I was bored and had the opportunity to provide a little video evidence of the "heat output"/byproduct of fermenting yeast. I know for me, watching videos on u-toob really did a lot to peak my interest in...

    Please "Grade" my first AG!

    Alright, third brew ever, and I tried All Grain... I’ve been reading as much as I can, and probably watched every youtube video on the subject. There’s something alluring about making beer from it’s most fundamental ingredients, so I gave it a shot. At this point it’s more madness than method…...

    :ban: Perusing the local craigslist looking for a kegerator... came across a used Beverage Air BM23 for a pretty reasonable deal (at least I think/hope so...) Comes with a handfull of tap handles and a 20# CO2 tank (that's actually still mostly full). I'm sure the tank will need to be...
