So I am always thinking lately about different types of ingredients that I could use to brew beer with and found this delicious pumpkin fudge that I thought would be great to use in a imperial pumpkin stout. Any thoughts? Would either use in the BK, primary or secondary.

So last night I broke one of my pumps. I started with the cheap $69.95 12volt pumps and think it might be time to upgrade. At least one of them. Where can I find the best deal(price and shippint) on a new pump? Thinking a chugger pump ss with the center inlet. If the deal is good enough I...

So last night I decided to try my first 10 gallon batch of a basic German Pilsner and split it into 2 separate 5 gallon batches. First batch will be fermented with a dry yeast(Saflager 34/70) and the second with a liquid yeast built up with a 2000ml starter(Pilsner WLP800) to test out dry vs...

So I use the Minibrew 6.5 Gallon Conical Fermenter and 2 nights ago I put a high gravity brown porter in it and within the first 6 hours the plastic lid blew off due to all the fermentation activity and foam. I wasn't able to put it back on till about 24 hours later due to all the foam. Should...

So I am in the process of building my Ebrewing room and am looking for ideas for the walls. Mostly the wall behind my kettles and such. At the moment, it is framed out in a 'L' shape with cement board and insulation behind it. The other 2 walls are being left as unfinished basement cement...

So I was in my basement this morning checking on the German Pilsner I brewed 12/8 and looked at my thermometer that has been reading a steady 52 degrees. I noticed the battery light was blinking so I changed the battery and now it is reading that my basement is 63 degrees. So I fear that the...

I I was wondering about carbonation and how it relates to having more than one beer on the the same system. When I put my homebrew I. A keg it always seems like my carb levels are low. So I will crank up my psi on on keg and turn the others off to help boost the level for a few days and then...

Hey. So recently I have been doing a lot of research on the whole electric brewing movement and I have to say that I want to do that :ban: I have been a homebrewer for over 8 years and have been doing all grain batches for the last 3 years. But I have to say that I am getting tired of...
