    what is the best pump for your money?

    I prefer gravity pumps. No electricity needed, no seals to go bad and no maintenance - ever.

    so you are looking to make an all grain batch and are requesting a recipe. Please tell us what equipment you have presently. It is hard to help with a recipe when we don't know the size of your brew pot, size of mash tun, desired batch size, etc. Do you brew indoors or outdoors? What...

    High alcohol content beer problem

    I am no expert brewer and will therefore only provide a small gem I learned from another: Don't drink either of these brews. Box them and ship them to me :) Seriously, time is your friend. You did not make a beer with a "Born On" date that requires a quick drink before it spoils. This...

    Anyone have experience with these 5.2L (1.37gal) kegs

    I'm wanting to have a keg that will fit in a residential fridge with the rest of my family's food, etc. and not have a dedicated fridge for my beer. A corny or even the smaller 2.5gal corny is still tall enough to require removing 2 shelves. From the dimensions shown, it appears this will be...

    Anyone have experience with these 5.2L (1.37gal) kegs

    http://www.schaeferkegs.com/eco_kegs.php I'm looking for a smaller keg that will fit in my wifes refridgerator. Most of the smaller kegs I have found are still 14" high - too tall. I found these ECOkegs online at 9" tall with a 10" diameter footprint. Does anyone have any experience...

    What did you bottle / Keg today?

    Didn't bottle but I did brew a Belgian Trippel with an OG 1.081. Plus I racked a peach beer into tertiary for a 3 week brightening AND racked each of the 3 gallons of Mead on their way to bottling.

    Anyone used Peaches in beer?

    sometimes, you just have to "go for it". I dipped my hop bag (5 gallon paint strainer bag) in Starsan for a few minutes along with the whole peaches. I'm using a 7 gallon bucket for the primary. Stretched the paint strainer bag over the opening of the beer then proceeded to cut about 4 pounds...

    What did you bottle / Keg today?

    Bottled a batch of white wheat ale OG1052; FG1010. At bottling, it tasted very good (had to sample what was used to float the hydrometer) :)

    What did you bottle / Keg today?

    I was gonna bottle a single malt that has been in primary for 2 weeks now. BUT... rather than bottle I have decided to add fruit - PEACHES - and let it rest another 4-5 days to add a little flavor :) Let's hope it turns out good.

    Peach Beer? Help requested

    I have a peach tree that is ripe. Thinking of possibly fruiting a beer. Has anyone made a beer and added fruit to the fermenter? I have a batch in primary that has been there 2 weeks. I'm thinking of adding peaches in a mesh bag to the brew. Should I rack off the yeast then add fruit or leave...

    Does the candi add any flavor or just sugar to add to ABV?

    Do hops grow in West Central Florida on the Gulf of Mexico?

    I have decided to name the Irish Red Ale that I make "Squirrel Blood Beer" in honor of the eradication of squirrels from my hop garden. LOL, No squirrels have actually been harmed in the hop growing process. I have extra hop rhizomes planted to feed wildlife.
