It started just after I get a fresh fill on the propane tank. I put it beside the sliding door to go out to the deck, grabbed a few things and "uh oh, I know that smell"... Either the guy overfilled it, or they don't fill by weight, but either way the over pressure outlet was puffing gas...

I had an out of test 5 lb cylinder I wanted to swap out $20 for the hydrotest to do the swap $25 for the product $4 hazardous gas charge + tax I was looking at the retest date on the cylinder they swapped and it was 5 months from today. I asked for a new cylinder, and at least got one...

I pitched my wild yeast into a brown. The other half is under control with Roeselare. I wanted to see how far above ambient temp active fermentation will go, so I was willing to let this run wild. I keep reading "3 degrees", so I thought I'd test it. This might produce a headache beverage...

I'm looking for good information on color changes during fermentation. In general, I find most things lighten to some degree. There is some discussion on the web about protein coagulation and fall out taking out some color. I brewed a cream ale using thai sweet red rice. The post-boil color...

Little did I know they switched to Alpine. That has got to be the worst thing I've ever tasted from Sam Adams. I generally find their beer ok and often the only thing other than BMC.

I've been trying just about all of them. I've settled on "my inventories" because it allows easy check-in/out, and is easy to use. Anyone using anything else they like for tracking grain and hops?

Question about the internal resolution of Johnson specifically. I'm not sure. It's currently out of pocket. Here is my issue: I got the Control Products two stage controller, because i wanted a second, and the digital two stage is very price competitive with the Johnson single stage...

..oh sh@#$ Had all my lines off for cleaning, and hadn't reconnected them yet. Looks like I have a poppet that doesn't seal well. That post never did look great. Think the $ for a new post will be money well spent. Looks like I only lost a few bottles worth.. unless there is a wet spot under...

So... I'm reading a recipe, measuring out grain, switch apps, then switch back to Brewzor... everything is gone. All recipes, databases, everything. Try to import the base databases, and nothing imports because the brewzor.com domain is dead. Looks like it expired 31-Oct. I'm not sure if one...

Is this normal? This is a wild ale I made from yeast I captured out of the air. No telling what it is. I let it sit in the primary for 6 weeks until it was 1.000, dry as a bone. The yeast in the bottom of the primary was really grainy loose slurry. Weird looking. After bottling, this...

I really like the biscuity nose in this beer. Anyone know or could conjecture what the "three aromatic malts" mentioned on their web site might be? Couldn't come up with a clone recipe. I'm assuming biscuit, but I'm not skilled at identifying. Vienna, aromatic, victory? This is a munich style...

I left a beer out, and it started to get cloudy, then form a layer of yeast on the glass. So I started feeding it with wort, building it up over several steps. Then I brewed a wheat beer with it. 2.25 lb Golden Promise 1.5 lb white wheat 1 lb wheat bulgar from the supermarket (needed more...

I guess since it's 70% de-alcoholized beer this forum is ok. Anyone try this? I saw it on the shelf at my Wegman's, and since my goal is to drink everything containing beer, I had to pick one up. Chilling in the fridge, will try tomorrow. I don't have high expectations.

Seriously. This produced the hands down best hefe I have ever brewed. Exactly the flavor I wanted. Couldn't be happier with my 60% wheat brew. It took me a bit to put two and two together recovering from the flu, but this is also is the best colon blow I've ever tasted. I'm well aware of the...

I remember reading in How To Brew, something to the effect of "at some point everyone looks at something and says 'i can ferment that'." Maybe it was phrased differently, but that's the point. So, I'm staring at a few bags of wheat bulgur, some white wheat malt, a bag of dry honey powder...

So, not wanting to buy a fridge because it would be too easy, I decided to make a wort chiller by temperature controlling the swamp cooler approach. I did this more because it's possible, than because it's the best solution. I like to tinker. Pros: cheap Learn something new doubles as storage...

I'm nearly positive this is an iron deficiency, but I thought is post some pics, and get some opinions. I don't see any signs of wilt, fungus, or disease. By the time I get my soil tested, season will be over Thanks.

Anybody ever see this before? It's not bubbles, even though it looks like it in the pic. The beer is just starting to get nice and clear, I've only had 6 pints or so from the keg. It tastes fine, a touch medicinal, but more because of the sugars added. Doesn't taste off, and has improved. I'm...

Anyone here use this? I've got it in a 1.5 liter starter, on a stirplate. After 24 hours, nothing. This poured dark brown out of the smack pack, it was two months old, and it was quite warm to the touch when I took it out of the box. I'm wondering if the heat didn't zap it dead. Is this a slow...

I decided it was time for a stirplate given the number of starters I make. Thinking it will pay for itself soon. This is what I came up with. I used this fan: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00080G0BK/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 These magnets...
