I purchased both of these in 2016, and with multiple moves/deployments since, I have only been able to use the Mash Tun once and never took the Kettle out of the wrapping. With another move coming up, I have decided to pass these on to someone who has more time and can put them to good use...

Looking for a little clarification and what not before I possibly ruin my beer. I brewed a Quad on March 26. had an OG of 1.093. Racked it on April 17 due to time restraints and moving. I just checked it last week and it is sitting at 1.007 (91% Attenuation). I used the Wyeast 3787 Trappist...

So I am starting my Keezer build and have a few questions before I start cutting and building. 1) How long do the chest freezers usually last for? If I buy a 3-4 year one on CL is it worth it, or spend the extra 100 bucks or so and get a new one. 2) I have seen some people add a cooling or...

So I had some left over wort from my quad that I threw into a mason jar and kept out. It's only been 2 days but I have some good activity going. I know the wild yeast thread said 2 weeks for some good wild yeast. Just looking to clarify if this could be it, or something else. Sent from my...

I was wondering if anyone has ever seen or come across a chart that listen the different types of sugars/fermentables that can be added to a beer to bring up the OG and the amount of points it adds. It seems that some people know what item adds to a beer in reference to points, just wondering if...

So I just made a Quad as my going away beer for the Marines. I figured I would let it primary now, and when I leave let it secondary for 6 months till I come back. I planned on having a 1.088, but I only hit a 1.073. Here is the recipe: Belgian Pilsner - 1.00 lb Belgian Caramel Munich Malt...

In April I am leaving to go to school for 6 months for the Marines. Would love to brew something within the next month so I could watch it for the first month before I ship, and just let it sit till I come back. Would love for a beer that I can give to everyone in my platoon as a celebration...

To the NYC Homebrewers... A few of us get together now and then to drink massive amounts of beer and try each others brews. Tonight is one of those nights. If anyone is interested in drinking other home brew you are more then welcome to come. We are meeting at Dive 96 which is on Amsterdamn Ave...

So I woke up this morning to a surprise that I never thought I would experience. When I was walking across the living room I noticed something on the floor. I turn on the lights to see my airlock in the middle of the room with crap all over it, then it hit me... I go to the carboy to notice...

So I been reading the forums about washing and reusing yeast and what not. Sounds interesting and it would definitely help lower the costs per batch of my beer. I think I am just a little afraid to reuse it and then ruin my batch. Here is what I am faced with... Just brewed a Chocolate Milk...

So I went to my LHBS this yesterday to pick up the yeast for my brew that I did last night. Too bad they didn't have the yeast I wanted. I was doing a chocolate milk stout and wanted to pitch the Wyeast 1332 Northwestern Ale, in hopes this beer would be similar to Left Hand Milk Stout or Youngs...

Hey everyone, Did some searches on the forum regarding this, but it seems most people talk about using the syrup as a priming sugar for bottling or kegging. I was thinking of throwing some (~16 oz) of Grade A syrup I made when I was in CT into my winter warmer porter. The idea came from our...

So my sisters birthday is coming up and she asked me to make her a beer for February. She says she wanted something flowery, like the Ithaca Flower Power. So I looked at some recipes and tweaked it to my setup and what I liked since I do partial mash at the moment. Here is what I have currently...

Was looking to see if anyone here on the forums happened to work in graphic design or is always looking forward to creating a new design. I know a lil in photoshop, but not enough to do something that would make me happy for a brewery logo to put onto my bottles. If anyone is interested in...

So now that I am getting into mashes and a bigger boil, I am looking for a bigger brew kettle. Was thinking about getting an 8 Gal Megapot or a 10 Gal BoilerMaker. Just wanted to see if anyone was selling anything similar before I go pick one up. Figure if I can save some bucks and help out a...

Hey everyone, So I been looking for some type of recipe book that I can put my beer recipes in, and update the notes while I am brewing the beer. I saw one on line about a month ago, but it seemed like "too much". Was wondering if anyone has used any or created a layout themselves. Thanks...

So I been playing with a few ideas for a "Chocolate Milk Stout" and I have pretty much nailed my recipe down and hopefully will start brewing this weekend. My only real problem/question is... When should I add the Lactose into the boil??? I have seen some recipes in which it was put in at...
