So, I'm doing my first all-grain batch today. See my attached BeerSmith recipe. I did some measuring with my system ( volumes left in boil kettle, mash tun, etc.) and created an equipment profile. So I'm brewing this batch today. I followed the below steps to a T, with the exception that I...

Doing my first AG batch today and so far, everything's going great except for something I've been getting right for years - the yeast starter. So, based on Jamil's yeast calculator, I need to make a 3L starter with two vials of yeast. Don't have an erlenmeyer that big and won't be able to get...

Done some searching on this, but I'm more confused than when I started. I'm planning a keggle build as my first step toward all-grain. I've got a guy to do the cutting and welding for me, but I'm confused on whether or not I'll need a false bottom, hop blocker, etc. I've never had a boil...

Title says it all. I'm in Charleston, SC, looking to start all-grain brewing and looking for used equipment at reasonable prices within SC and maybe parts of NC and GA.

Just got my kegerator up and running Monday and I'm having a little bit of a foam issue. I've done a lot of reading and found that most foam issues come from draft lines that are too short or a tower that isn't cooled, but I don't believe either of those are my issues. Here's my setup: - 2...

Getting ready to place this order with Keg Connection and I wanted to see if there was anything I missed, besides the kegs themselves. I'm going to do a two-faucet fridge system. Comments?

I wasn't quite ready to invest in kegging equipment, but I may be able to purchase some "as-is" ball-lock kegs for $45 each. How good of a deal is this? Posted from my  iPhone 5 using Home Brew.

Been brewing extract kits for a couple of years now. I've steeped specialty grains and just brewed my first mini-mash kit last week. I picked up a copy of Brewing Classic Styles and want to brew some recipes from there. I'm lost on how to brew with odd amounts of LME. Let's use the American...

This is probably a basic question, but I've searched and searched and just cannot pin down an answer here. In How to Brew, John Palmer only provides instructions on how to make a 1 pint starter using 1/2 cup of DME. There's no talk of making larger starters. However, I'm constantly seeing...
