Hey, all. I searched the threads about this but didn't find a specific answer. It sounds like people have been using the HD Rubbermaid watery coolers successfully enough. But I am just curious if it has the same thermal properties as an Igloo 10 Gal cooler. Will the Home Depot cooler keep my...

I got ripped for posting something without searching first last time. So...I searched...and searched...and didn't see this anywhere. I hope. Please be gentile. Anyway, I came across this on the interwebs and the spot lives up to its title. It is indeed one epic beer commercial. Enjoy.

I came across this article today detailing GW's home brew recipe. Thoughts? Enjoy! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/8495680/George-Washingtons-beer-recipe.html

What advice would you have for a guy about to do his first all grain brew based on your own experience? My friend from Michigan is in town and brought his gear for a full up 10 gallon all grain. Despite his knowledge and guidance I am looking for tips and tricks to have a great brew day...

Hey, all. I have been getting into HB by brewing Brewers Best kits to get the feel for the process. I'm looking forward to doing some all grain recipes but in the meanwhile I want to get good technique on the mechanical stuff before going all out. One consistent problems I have had is...

My friend sent me this article about a mobile bottling company. Very interesting. I can see this coming to the States with craft brews on the rise. http://www.springwise.com/food_beverage/tomwood/

Hey all, I was searching for bottle tree threads and came across some from back in 2010 but didn't see much current discussion going on about them. I was itching for a DIY project and thought that might be a good one to try out since I have a batch ready to bottle and no good place to dry them...

Hey all, I'm new to brewing and am just wondering if there is any ballpark rule of thumb about how long different types of HB can sit in a bottle before turning to the dark side. I'm storing my first batch of Imperial Pale Ale in my dark, cool basement in brown bottles. As I make more batches of...

Hey all. I'm new to home brewing so i've stuck to kits thus far. This weekend my Dad was at a market and bought two medium baggies of homegrown, dried nugget hops. Other than being dried out they are still whole hops, not in pellet form. I'm not ready to move onto advanced beer making yet...

Hey all. I transfered my second kit beer to my glass carboy yesterday. And for the second time I noticed small bubbles accumulating in the line as the beer moved from the fermenter to the carboy. These mostly stay in the line, trapped from moving upward by the liquid moving downward. I've read...

Hey All. I'm planning on bottling my first brew tonight. It's an Imperial Pale Ale kit and it came with a bag of priming sugar. I'm at work so I can't remember the specifics but I don't remember the recipe calling for a specific measurement other than using the whole bag. I read some posts...

Hey all, last night I watched a documentary from 2009 called Beer Wars. Anyone seen it? It was a pretty interesting look into the industry with a David vs. Goliath spin. Since I'm new to home brewing and craft beer enjoyment in general so I just wanted to see if anyone has seen it and can...

Hey all, I just transfered my brew after seven days in the primary to my glass carboy. I'm concerned that the closet I'm keeping it in will be to warm between 63-70 degrees depending on the time of day. Should I leave it put or risk shaking it up trying to get it down into my basement where it...
