I think this only came out this month and I had one at a joint in Baltimore the other day and absolutely loved it. I have for years felt the only good Hoppy Wheat on earth was FFF's Gumballhead, and I have also felt the perfect example of a Wit with some hop backbone and saisony spice/taste was...

I paid $250. You also need to be an AHA member, and I can switch my registration with you.

It is a full ticket, including all seminars AND the big banquet. Issues involving SWMBO necessitate this action. PM me or text me 443-827-1156. The event is in Philly, 6/27-29, in case you did not already know.

I only have room for 2 buckets in my chamber. Those of you with similar chambers, how long do you primary inside of the chamber (ale yeast, for argument's sake)? Does anyone take them out after x amount of days? Does it depend on the yeast? The beer? I'm at a loss right now, I don't...

I, being a cragslist ninja, acquired a nice 7 cu ft chest freezer for free a few weeks ago. So I got a STC1000, project box, and power cord and went to work, and now I've taken one of the real big boy steps in brewing to really being able to dial in my fermentation temperature control. It...

When people say "1L starter" what the hell are they talking about? I have a stir plate and a 1Lflask. I wish I had a bigger flask but I don't. When I read "how to make a starter" threads or the Wiki I feel like I have always been told to use 2 cups of water with 1/2 a cup of DME. That's...

I want to make a pale ale base, just 2 row, some munich I think. I'm not sure if 3 oz is enough so I'm wondering what others might use as a 'neutral' kind of bittering hop so I can use the Rakaw as a late addition and dry hop. Thoughts? Also on the grain bill? I'm kind of looking for a...

So I got a pump and can't seem to find anything on here or google that gives me an overview of where and how exactly I would use it in my brew day. Also, having only 1 pump, where it is most useful and/or less of a necessity. Additionally, I'm not sure exactly what additional components I need...

So last week I decided to get serious about a few needs I knew I had. 1) Ferm temp control 2) stir plate 3) pump Due to the magic of craigslist, HBT and reddit (plus my own cheapness), here's what I got: 1) 7 cu. ft. chest freezer for FREE on c-list. STC-1000 $28 shipped power...

STIR PLATE: I have a 3A rheostat, simple 12 v light up toggle switch, 5VDC cell phone charger, 12VDC pc fan, female disconnects, magnets from Hard drive. 1) My fan has 4 wires, white red black blue in that order). Any ideas? Just assume Red is hot, black is ground, and go with that? 2) is...

AG brewer doing 5G batches with a regular turkey fryer burner, 8 G HLT, 10 G BK, rectangular cooler MT and an IC. My kegerator is a big older fridge that I may be turning into a fermentation chamber, but I first need to turn a mini-fridge I have into a kegerator. I have some extra $$ from...

So I have a basic AG setup with an original turkey fryer 30qt HLT with no valves, a rectangular cooler mashtun with CPVC manifold, then a nicer SS BK with a ball valve to drain into my fermenter. I haven't made a beer that's required a protein rest or decoction, etc. (or maybe I have and just...

I've been using the 3/8" length as an IC with average results since I started brewing 2 years ago. I perceive that the slow chililng time is due to 1) not cold enough water and 2) not enough surface area as weel as probably 3) not enough wort movement. I can get 25' of 1/2" from a buddy for...

http://baltimore.craigslist.org/for/3264410023.html Organically grown, fresh picked, whole hop cones available for your home beer brew, ready to pitch right into the brew pot. The hops can be added during the boil for the full taste in your beer or used in an infuser. The varieties include...

So this may be somewhat of a rehash, but I can't wrap my head around many of the answers in a way that makes sense to me. 1)why is it that one should secondary when they are adding fruit or spices? What's the reason, vs. simply adding stuff directly to the primary after fermentation is...

I've been toying with a ghetto gravity fed brew stand for awhile, but after seeing a buddy's new setup and how easily my brew club can move 55 gallons of wort, I realize it's time to just suck it up and buy a pump. I'm hoping someone has upgraded or has an extra pump they aren't using or...

I'm using my kettle with a ball valve for the first time and I'm not sure what good whirlpooling will do after chilling if I have a ballvalve on the side of the kettle to drain into my fermenter...Will whirlpooling and sitting for 20 minutes really allow just wort and not sediment to be drained...

I'm putting together a simple 2 tier gravity brew stand using a picnic table and I need a new burner. Also, even though it'll be probably fall-winter before I turn a recently acquired keg into a keggle, if I upgrade from 5 to 10 gallon batches, is a 'turkey fryer' style burner capable of...

So I kegged my Zombie dust clone the other day and put it on gas, and now 5 days later I figured I'd give 'er a taste. Turns out I switched the posts while cleaning. In hindsight I do recall it was a pain to snap in, but it just so happens that the post that is meant to go on the liquid side...

I've been doing all grain for 6 months or so and enjoying it, however my turkey fryer is beat to hell, and heating my strike and sparge water on my stove and mashing in the kitchen before moving things outside for boiling could be a cleaner process. I currently batch sparge with a cooler and...
