There used to be a "recommended recipe locator" sticky thread at the top of this recipe forum....where the hell did it go? :drunk:

This is my current setup for 2 kegs....I'm about to get 2 more kegs and need to know the easiest way to get the gas to 4 kegs...what would you recommend? Maybe a 2 way splitter on each side, or maybe just go ahead and get a 4 way manifold? I need to know the cheapest option....help!

I finally have a decent smartphone and I want a good homebrewing app....what do you use and why?

Lets see those pictures of all your awesome setups for 2013! I'll start with mine: This is my second year, I've got four in halved barrels, and one in the ground by the fence. The one on the far right is the only new first year rhizome, a centennial, and then cascade to the left of that...

Thought I'd make a thread fopr all you guys who can't grow in the yard or native soil...and have to plant in containers....i used 55 gal plastic drums cut in half, and a "landscaping pole" to run rope through...here are some pics from first year:

Quick question, when bringing a 5 gallon recipe up to 10 gallons, do you just double the ingredients? I know this sounds like a silly question but help a brother out :cross:

I read through the BSHB "Keg Line length balancing" ( http://beersmith.com/blog/2011/07/14/keg-line-length-balancing-the-science-of-draft-beer/ ) and decided to go get some tubing and get it done. I calculated that I needed 5 ft of 3/16 vinyl tubing. I got to the store, and picked it up only to...

I want to find a mini fridge that can hold at least 2 kegs and co2 tank without any modification. Anyone know of one?

I'm looking into ordering a diffusion stine to use in the keg to carbonate my beer. I just noticed that when I carbonate in the keg the carbonation seems different, and less pleasant than when i bottle condition. I'm hoping the stone will help by introducing finer bubbles? I need advice on...

I was just wondering, since i'm just about to move from the stove out to the patio with a keggle and propane burner, just how long does 1 tank last? Will it last me the whole hour? Should I have a second tank on standby? It will be a 5 gallon recipe, so like, around 6 to 6.5 gallon boil at the...

Just thought I would share. Simple and easy

pretty sweet...and silly :mug:

I got a mystery rhizome from a guy on here, when it got here, it had a shoot coming out of it(see picture)... I planted it with the shoot out of the dirt as shown, problem is it looks really weak, leaning over and the tip is broken off. I don't plan on keeping the shoot, I'm gonna clip it...

When do I add it? What kind should I use? I have some miracle grow in the cabinet, would that do?

I don't know about you but I like seeing pics of peoples setups, lots of pics, they help me form my own ideas and i'm sure there are others that could learn a thing or two as well. Here's my meager first year setup, Cascade will be on the left, Columbus on the right, lets see all your elaborate...

I decided to try my hand in growing some hops this year, I'll be posting my progress. I live in south Georgia and it gets scorching hot down here so we'll see how it goes! Here they are, freshly planted. Cascade will be on the left and Columbus on the right. I'll get the rope up sometime next...

when you see these big beer company ads on TV talking about "triple hops brewed, vortex bottle, never watered down...bull**** bull**** bull****" ughh every time I see one now days it just makes me angry!

So I brewed an Imperial IPA, pitched nottingham yeast slurry, only to wake up the next morning and find my fermentation chamber (temp controlled deep freezer) not working! It was fermenting at about 82 (!!) degrees. I promply moved it to a bedroom and cranked the window ac to 65, it took it a...
