Hey All, I used beeralchemy for years, but after a break from brewing I no longer have a mac that can run it (32 bit software). Any chance one of you is still running it and could export my recipes to beerxml? I have the data file… just need a little help from someone with an old mac.

2 Perlick 525ss faucets. 1 Growler Filler that fits $75 shipped in the 48 The gaskets are brand new except the one at the very back (between the back and the shank). Upgraded to the Vent-Matics, don't need these anymore. I replaced the gaskets because one started to leak and I didn't want...

I kegged up a coffee blonde (mad fermentationist recipe) two nights ago. I'm serving it Saturday so I did a bit of shaking / rolling and hooked it up to gas the next morning. Went to check it tonight and noticed beer in the bottom of the fridge. It hadn't leaked much, but it was leaking. Put the...

I took a break to grab a growler from my local brewery (Singlecut) and when in hopped back on my bike after riding for about 5 minutes I heard a large POP. I tore open my backpack and found the growler open and beer everywhere. Was it the bike riding? Would this have happened with a glass...

Hey all, I wired up a fridge from the internal thermostat to a stc-1000 and just wanted to make sure the wire nut approach was ok inside a fridge. Or do the connections need to be soldered? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Hey All, I just moved and after unpacking my kegorator supplies I'm having an issue with the second pressure gauge on my regulator. I filmed it here: http://youtu.be/OjR1U5cOD60 Basically the pressure continues increasing no matter what the control knob is set at. The control knob...

Not sure how I forgot, I've done this a billion times, but I managed to not sanitize my bottling bucket. Cleaned after every use, kept inside my mash tun when it's not being used. Sanitized the spigot before putting it on. How likely am I to end up with bombs? :smack: Should we just start...

Hey All, I was doing a big push to stock up on my favorites before being stuck with saisons all summer and just bottled the last "bottle batch" I used a carb calculator to determine the priming sugar (This one) and since the weather is in the 80's now and will be in the 80's+ the rest of the...

Hey All, I remember a year or two ago reading that kegging soda ruins the beer lines. Am I delusional or is this true? Thanks!

Hey All, I'm about to keg a pale ale and opened up the primary to find this floating on the top. Not sure what it is. I was a it sloppy when pouring it from the kettle to the bucket but it is long and I can't imagine it being a hop pellet. Thanks!

Hey All, I hope you can shed some light on this trouble. I have a very delicious Black IPA kegged up (I think it's NB's recipe) but after even half of a pint I start to feel the heartburn or something like it. I've had it after other beers, early, after eating, empty stomach, but no matter...

Anytime I come home for the holidays (Seattle from New York) I get together with a buddy and brew. This year, I took close notes of his process and the specific ingredients, now I'll brew it once I head back to NY. We'll swap bottles and see how the result differ. Anyone else do this?

I'm trying to weed out of there is something wrong in my process or if it's really just the crush. I've brewed 10-12 all-grain batches now and each time using both NB & my LHBS crushes I ended up right around 60% efficiency. I finally picked up a Corona mill, but this last one (using that) ended...

Hey All, I brewed a black IPA on the 18th of November. Tonight I opened it up to take a gravity reading and add dry hops and found this. The gravity is close to final. The yeast used was US-05. I dry hopped an IPA I brewed the day before (used US-05 in this as well) and it was at it's FG...

While I'll probably just do this as a PM to keep the flavors I've been getting (which is GREAT and many people have told me to always have this on tap). I just upgraded to all grain (3 batches ago) and what to hone and increase my efficiency. Should i just take the US 2-row and bump it...

I've been relying on an analog thermometer that I picked up from the brew store around two years ago, and right now it's measuring 120˚f while my new electronic (Fisher Sci Digital) thermometer reads 112.5. After stepping up to AG, I was getting around 65% efficiencies consistently (3...

What do you guys put on your labels to explain not to shake or pour out the yeast? I can't seem to come up with a short way to word it.

NYC, While saisons are delicious, I'd like a nice freezing, snowy, ice filled winter. I'll slip in front of many people during the morning commute. I'll even give you three solid, head hurting falls. Just give me some weather that I can brew my favorite pale ale in. Or if you'll bless...

Finally going from PM to All Grain after two years. I couldn't have done it without this place, so thanks everyone! :mug: If everything goes as planned, I'll be brewing this weekend. I just filled my 10 gallon cooler lid with expanding foam. Next up is tapping my old brew pot to turn into a...

I received a frantic call from SWMBO stating that there was water coming from under the stove. We moved out of a basement apartment earlier this year to get away from the constant flooding. Needless to say, she was pissed. "Those stupid bro neighbors fell asleep while their water was running."...
