What is this... why does everyone refer to it?

Hello, brewing tonight and using my new SS brew bucket... Question, how is the racking arm suppose to be positioned? Angled up towards the lid or down towards the cone? Thanx!! Visually it seems like a lot of beer would be left behind if positioned up.

Got tons of hop rhizomes with 1st year growth in the Cincinnati area. Let me know if you are interested. $5 per Cascade, EGK, Chinook, Centennial, Columbus, Tettnanger,etc

Brewed a ton of beers at this point... going for my first 100% Brett fermented brew. Going with WLP644. I'm not brewing any particular style. Here is what I'm doing: 10lbs Pale Malt 5lbs Red Wheat Magnum bittering to 35 IBU Citra Hops 1/2 oz for flavor and aroma Mashing for 1 hour at 158...

Whats up! Need some help with a beer that I'm entering into competition. November 2012 brewed a massive Old Ale using Wyeast Old Ale Blend (english ale yeast + Brett). The beer is really really good but the Brett character has become very strong (and delicious). The aroma of the beer is straight...

Let me know if you have a bottle or two for trade... I would like to trade for this and maybe some locals... thanks

Pretty exciting.... I am in the November issue as the "reader profile" check it out. Page 8 :-)

Hello, got a quick question for everyone. I recently did a 3.5 liter starter of Wyeast Ringwood in hopes to use this starter for multiple beers. I brew Parti-Gyle Style but havent tried this approach yet with yeast. My plan is to brew a 1.070 5 gallon batch and than a 3 gallon 1.050 batch. My...

I have reached the breaking point with using cheap-o thermometers via brewing all grain. So for about a $100 investment I can either get 3 Brewmometers (Kettle, MLT, Mash Tun) or 1 thermapen. The cost is about the same but obviously the brewmometers would require some hole drilling and would be...

I have been brewing for the past year with a E-Keggle. Nothing fancy just 2 1500 watt elements running off of two separate breakers. I have officially dumped 4 batches of beer because they tasted like a big liquid ash tray. Anyways the 3 I was using HWD elements. Fine, so I switched them out to...

Hey everyone! Back to brewing today after about a month off after my second child was born. I picked up a camco RV water filter to well, filter my water! My question is how do you store these filters between brews. Do you simple leave it hooked up to your hose or do you disconnect and cap the...

Ok, I was cold crashing my Kolsch today and had about 12 oz of properly diluted star san solution in a blow off. Well, I get home from work and the blowoff is bone dry.... meaning 12 oz of sanitized solution is now inside my fermenter. So the ultimate question, is it safe to drink? Any help or...

I was going to start culturing yeast but I just don't have the time right now. I will take $35 for the kit shipping included. Everything is still sealed in its sterilized packaging. Kit includes: Malt Extract Agar Media Instruction Manual Alcohol Lamp w/ adjustable flame Sterile Petri...

So, after traveling to Europe and having "real" cask ale I decided that I had to attempt to replicate this amazing beer via home brew at my house. Only there was 1 problem. I wasn't going to spend hundreds of $$$ to make it happen nor did I want 5+ gallons as the shelf life is not very long...

Hey everyone... got a 3 gallon oak barrel and I have been aging my RIS and about to bottle. I have sulphur strips to keep the barrel clean while I'm waiting on my Barleywine to finish up. Anyone have any experience with the actual procedure of burning the sulphur inside the barrel and how its...

So a few days ago I went to rack my holiday ale into the keg. About 2/3 through the transfer a piece of orange peel decided to become lodged in the bent section of the racking crane. This of course happened while I was holding the autosiphon with one hand and tilting the carboy with the other...

Hey everyone, been brewing with electric for about 5 months now on my ekeggle. Can anyone explain why sometimes I see dramatic differences when taking temperature readings? Does it have something to do with the element? Just curious, thanks!

Does anyone know how to infuse their beer with patriotism and freedom? :ban:
