What do you think? Pretty gifted in Photoshop and have been brewing for awhile so thought I'd just go for it. Thoughts?

I have been brewing for a long time but never got around to labeling (scrubbing bottles, and pouring into glasses to serve are the major reasons). I have great graphic design skills (or at least above average) and it is a part of my day job so I thought I'd give it a stab.

What do you think of this kettle? I would get it with the ball valve and the thermometer (not sure which one) http://www.homebrewing.org/2-WELD-9-Gallon-Stainless-Steel-Brew-Pot-_p_1684.html I currently do extract with specialty grains, but want to make sure the equipment I buy can be of...

So I live in the Pacific Northwest in the state of Washington. My original idea, and one I thought was still out there was "Bigfoot Brewery" because of the lure of bigfoot in this region. However, it seems someone already has that and a domain registered. So some help with finding a more...

So I really want to build a keezer, all of them on here are so beautiful and so professionally done. My major problem? I am not a woodworker by any means. Sure I have some basic skills on how to cut, measure and drill, but when it comes down to having all of the necessary clamps, and fine...

I am not sure what is going on but I have entered in 3 recipes over the last few weeks and none of them are saved under my recipes. All of my previous recipes are there and saved etc, but my last three brews I have entered are gone. THey aren't listed with the ingredients blank (like the...

I just got the Johnson temp control and I can't make it keep my ferm chamber at 65. I set my set point to 65 with diff of 3. I tried changing from "cut in" to "cut out" and still both going to down to 45 degrees. Any help?

http://www.northernbrewer.com/brewing/brewing-equipment/fermenting-equipment/stoppers-bungs/silicone-stopper-vented.html I am looking for a low-profile airlock because I have a used energy drink type fridge (no mods needed - just remove the shelves) I am going to use for a fermenting...

Anyone know the best place/price for a digital temperature controller? Looking to turn my energy drink fridge (currently housing my bottled homebrew) into a fermentation chamber to keep everything at 68 degrees or so. Fluxuating temps around here! Any ideas or help would be great. Saw...

How long is iodophoe good for once mixed to appropriate levels? I usually fill up a little spray bottle I use to sanitize my bucket alongside my larger filled bucket I dump all of my equipment into. I was just curious if I could have the spray bottle sit around filled with iodophor or if...

So I have this fridge, which is perfect to use as a fermentation chamber, but right now I am just using it as my homebrew beer fridge. I am wondering if I can hook up a temperature control to make it stay at around 68 degrees? When I turn it all the way up (highest temp) it only gets to about...

After about my 10th 5 gallon batch I noticed the inside of my aluminum pot has turned black around the boil line (typically 3.5 gallon mark) but there are also black streaks down to the bottom of the pot on the inside as well as a thick ring around the top inside the pot. Is this normal...

I need some help trying to figure out what brewpot I should buy next. I have looked at a few, and just want to get some people's opinions. I am currently using a 6 gallon aluminum pot that has really turned out some good beers, however, I can't do full boils. I probably have 100 gallons of...

I am going to be brewing an all citra IPA with 5 oz of whole citra hops (fresh as can be!) I am using 1lb of Caramel 20 and 11lbs Light LME as well. I don't have my specifice hop schedule with me (at work) but am super excited for this brew. But it will be 4 oz throughout the boil with 1 oz...

So, I am going to enter a pretty big competition here in my area. It is for big beers - barleywines, oak aged stouts, etc. Anyone have some great recipes I could get some inpiration from? Looking for extract recipes with specialty grains. I have never done barlywine before, but was thinking...

So, my tangelo hefeweizen (tangelo is a mix between a regular orange and grapefruit) has been in the primary for 17 days now. I am afraid that it has been in there much too long and am not sure if I should move it to a secondary, or just bottle it (tonight!)? I know there is no need for a...

My question is how long should I leave this beer in the secondary? I left it in the primary for 2 weeks. I know the answer is when it is done fermenting, but anyboy have some experience with their pumpkin ales? Should I move it to the bottles quicker? Or let it chill out in the secondary for a...

I have brewed two batches so far - one being a strong IPA I called Simtra or SLY PA using Simcoe and Citra hops and my second one was a Vanilla Pumpkin Spice Ale that has been in the primary for about a week now. I need help trying to figure out what to brew next? I have been thinking either...
