I'd Dry-Hop That!

Wife and i are heading to Daytona beach for a weekend get-away. Wondering if there are good places for beer near the beach. as it should go without saying, not looking for run of the mill BMC type places. also wondering if there is any good local beer or brew pubs or breweries Thanks...

Here is what Fargo, ND looks like

This is what mine look like so far

was it me or did the article kind of do some double speak with the granite. I don't have the article with me now but it said something like "Granite is a good choice with it having moisture content and can easily explode" explode when heated and good for brewing did not make sense to me but i...

Whoops, simple algebra vexed me!!. HBU divided by AA.

So 7 oz @ 1AA = 7HBU or 1 oz @ 7AA = 7HBU What is the AA of the Saaz you have? take AA divided by HBU to get the oz needed. simple ALGEBRA!! (that you never thought you would use after high school!!)

i have done nothing different for my starter. just made one from a smack pack because it blew open when i smacked it. (that is also new) thought maybe there was someting broken down during a longer boil that wasn't during the late additions

This is the first time I have actually needed a blow-off assembly for my carboy. it is a 7gal and i have 5 gal of Northern Brewer's Australian Sparkling Ale going in it. i don't know what happened but it took off like a shot. I made a starter with Thames Valley yeast and pitched at the right...

One on my new glass carboy and one on a pin-lock. always have them on the pinlock

i brew 10 gal a month on average. 120gal last year. i just keep a fresh supply and i only drink from two kegs at a time. when i think i am running low in a keg, i will rack to a third keg and then force carb and finish the other keg. replace as needed. i just keep a steady line of beer in...

If you think about how much beer is in 10 gallons, about 100ish (give or take 5 for trub). One or two (possibly 3 or 4 on weekends) beers per night for one person. Drinking a 6 pack a day is not out of the question for a couple. that is about 35-45 beers per week. i would not concider that...

SWEET JESUS!!! Thanks you Sponsors!!!

I have a friend that comes over and samples beer. His SWMBO, takes one sip of homebrew, (i mean touches lips to foam), flairs nostrils, then doesn't want anything to do with the rest. Then complains that we don't have any thing for her to drink. I give her water!!

i cold crashed on my porch and the temp dropped during the day and i came home to a completely fozen solid carboy. Called it "Snowballing IPA"

@bmac yeast will NOT ferment with O2 present, they go through respiration, the break down of sugar with oxygen present. both fermentation and respiration release CO2 but only one will allow for yeast to reproduce. there is more energy released (used) from sugar during respiration, giving the...

wouldn't the presence of oxygen give the little buggers the proper condition for propagation and not fermentation? isn't that what a stir plate does? keeps the oxygen content to where propogation would possible and keeps them from fermenting. so why would the yeast stop reproducing after 18-24...
