I just received a bunch, a whole bunch, of plain ol' white long grain rice. It's enriched...for whatever that's worth. The question is how do I use this in a brew? Not specifically a recipe, but the actual usage of the grains. I've used flaked rice before but never regular rice. Just toss...

I've just learned by newsletter email that my favorite local microbrew is shutting the doors. It's called Nine G brewery and they made fantastic beer. I just bought the last six pack of Wingman from my supermarket and it is no more. Check it out if you like. http://www.ninegbrewing.com/ I...

I'm in the process of accumulating all the hardware for kegging. I think this forum singlehandedly boosed sanyo's 1st quarter profits with the 4912 bestbuy tips. I'm a proud new owner now too. Anyway, what is the benefit of having a barbed or threaded connection? When pressurizing the keg...

I'm doing a partial mash - trying for a steam lager. My problem is i usually do a 3 gal boil and add ice and 2 chilled gallons at the end to reduce the temp. to 75-80 and pitch. My dilema is one of my gallons of water shattered before i was able to add it to the wort (in the freezer, my wife...

What is the difference? When is it good and when is it bad? I started homebrewing after watching the Good Eats episode in Jan of 06 and have done est. 20 odd batches. Each time i pour the wort into the primary from the boil (i do only extract and the occasional partial mash only recently) i...

I just bought 33 lbs of light malt extract for $40.00 at bells brewery thanks to a fellow HBT member, of which the name escapes me but i'll think of it and repost. My question is, i have no scale and i've thrown away all my old empty cans of malt, how many ounces by volume are in one can of 3.3...

one of my batches smells like sulfer in the glass; I dont remember this smell during bottling. Will this mellow/go away? It was never in direct light during the whole process and the other half of the batch is ok (although lacks carbination!!) I can't get it right with this one. It tastes...

I have no carbination in a batch i bottled 8 days ago. This one is my est. 25th batch of which i split into two batches and i may not have split the priming sugar 50/50. I've never had a batch not carbinate by this point. My question is, if i just set it aside and come back to it in 3 months...

I'm in the process of finishing the following: 6.6 lbs muntons amber liq. estract 2 lbs briess 2 row pale ale malt 1lb briess 80L crystal malt 1/2 lb muntons chocolate malt 1/2 lb muntons roasted non-malted black barley 1 lb flaked oats 2 oz fuggles 8 oz by volume 4 oz by weight cocoa...

I'm an idiot, I wasn't thinking. I bottled 5.5 gallons of brew that i split in two batches. The first, with 2.5 gallons, i bottled with 2.5 OZ of priming sugar (half the sugar for half the batch) the other 3 gallons i bottled with 32 oz of pure unsweetened black cherry juice that i boiled down...

Can anyone explain to me how a racking cane works? I've always siphoned from one container to the next using either water to start the suction or, at times when frustrated, my mouth. Can the racking cane help me in any way?

I have a 6.5g bucket and a recipe for 5 gal. I decided to add some extra malt to bring it to 6 gallons (mistake) Anyway, a day later it had foamed up enough to clog the air lock and blow the top. I cleaned the lid and airlock and replaced it, noticing that the foaming had dropped to about 4...
