So a few weeks ago I brewed my ESB recipe. It's a pretty straightforward recipe and I have brewed it multiple times without issue. Anyway, I got distracted, overly confident, and ahead of myself and without even thinking ended up doughing the grain into the (preheating) mashtun waaay too early...

Figured this thing is done enough to show it off. Over the spring and summer I'm going to be entering a few homebrew competitions/festivals where I will have to serve my entries. I am also brewing for a friends wedding over the summer. I of course could use the tried and true kegs in a bucket of...

So I’m sure the answer is on this site somewhere, but I can’t find anyone who has first-hand knowledge. I’m in the process of building a three tap portable draft system. Due to space issues I would really like to use a 20oz paintball co2 tank for dispensing. Again, I will be carbonating from my...

Putting together my portable system and I'm looking for one more faucet. You know, that chrome one that you replaced with a shiny stainless Perlick after a few months. If you have one laying around that you would want to part with on the cheap let me know!

Hey all.... looking for some suggestions. I brewed a pumpkin ale about 2 weeks ago and took a gravity reading last night. It ended up finishing much lower than I was shooting for (1.002 from 1.060). It's going to get another 2 weeks aging before I keg/bottle it. Anyway, I am going to need to...

Tried to search, but honestly have no idea what to search for on this one..... I generally keg my beers and fill bottles with the BMBF (when I bottle), but for this wit I decided to bottle condition to keep it cloudy and yeasty. I used Beersmith to carb to style (2.4 if I remember correctly)...

The wife wants me to make a mango beer. I am thinking either a blonde or American wheat would pair nice with the mango flavor. I need some suggestions on what hops you all would pair with this. It's obviously going to be a low IBU beer. I was throwing around trying all citra, but I have never...

Looking for some advice on fixing my screw up.... On Saturday I brewed a very simple wit. 50% wheat, 50% 2-row. EKG 60 minute hop addition, bitter orange peel and coriander at 5 minutes. Trying out WLP410 for the first time. I was shooting for 11 gallons post boil volume and ended up with...

http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/694/62792 So I successfully harvested some yeast from one of these but I can't for the life of me find what the hell kind of yeast it uses. So I have a bunch of yeast I don't know what to do with. I do know that it is aged in wood and refermented in the...

I am working on putting together a recipe for a chocolate hazelnut stout and am hoping for some input. My thoughts are to start with the left-hand milk stout (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f68/left-hand-milk-stout-clone-139820/) as a base. I think this will give me what I want as far as the stout...

I am asking this more out of curiosity as I haven't been able to find an answer with the search (although I'm not really sure what to search for!) I learned the hard way when I started brewing the importance of temperature control during fermentation. So I built myself a small fermentation...

So I just converted my beloved Keezer to a ball lock setup. I have been using Sankey kegs for two years now with no issues, but decided it would be easier to clean and fill cornies than sankey kegs. I just got done carbing my latest IPA in one of the cornies and it is perfectly carbed. My...

So i'm hosting a craft and microbrew tasting for some friends and am having trouble finding glassware. Maybe i'm being too picky... or cheap. Troegs is right up the road from me and they have some awesome mini snifter glasses in their tasting room, but I have not been able to find anything like...

I just finished putting together my newest brewtoy and I'm looking for some advice. I built a keggle, which I have to say turned out pretty amazing. I used all weldless fittings from barginfittings and they all seem to be working as advertised. Hoping to test it out in the next few days! My...

So I finally got myself Beersmith and am playing around with a few recipes. Take it easy on me, I'm new to it and this may be a dumb question.... I am planning on making the extract version of Yooper's 60 minute IPA, so I plugged all the ingredients from the recipe. Easy enough. Under the...
